Thread: Mobile speed camera locations - NSW

So yes if you slow for the fixed and get booked by the mobile camera you're an idiot, but if you get booked by both or all three, you're still only an idiot and not a double or triple idiot.

I've often wondered just how long a driver can maintain a speed over the limit before technically 'speeding' twice.

I say often, because I clearly have a lot of time on my hands

Don't forget that P-platers can lose their licence for 3 months for ANY speeding offence, which is absurd.

We have these things in the ACT for many, many years. After a while you will learn to recognise the cars parked on the side of the road (we have white Merc vans) and where they hang out. After a while they will only catch tourists and people who are not paying attention.

Just slow down for any white Territiory parked on the side of the road. Do not do what some wags did in Canberra - they crept up on the van and removed its number plates and placed them on another vehicle and then sped back and forth past the camera car (now without its number plates). The RTA received a whole bunch of speeding infringements by the van - it had booked itself.

The vehicles now have a sign warning people to remain clear of the camera vehicle etc.

The system also deregistered all the camera vans when the fines were not paid.
