I posted about a crash I saw (here was the only place I wrote about it as I was really shaken up), few days later police on my door step asking for a report on what I saw. No big deal, just letting you know.

If that was the one at the meccano set then they also have you on camera they monitor all directions there and would have looked at the video of the accident:)

So if you ever sell a car it really does pay to check with VicRoads that it is in the new owners name. Same thing happened a few years ago with a BJ40 I sold, not the fines, but I checked with vicroads a few weeks later and it was still in my name. Moral is , eventho its the purchasers responsibility take a duplicate of notice of disposal and send it to vicroads yourself.

In NSW you can notify the disposal/transfer of a vehicle online from the RMS website.

It pays you to do it just for this reason. I used to know a bouncer in a Kings Cross nightclub, he would regularly go out and buy a really cheap car with a couple of months rego but never transferred the rego to his name.

Each night he went to work he would park it anywhere and not be bothered about the fines. He would drive the car until it ran out of rego or until it broke down. When either of those things happened he would just leave the car where it was. The previous owner would be responsible for everything.

That would also make sense, however there was no mention of footage, and it was close to 1 km from the Meccano set. I was messaged via inbox from here to call. But didn't see the message in time and they appeared at my door step.

Maybe the policeman investigating the incident was a member on this forum.
We have people from all walks of life on here.

Ha! Excellent.
I wonder, would the Qld police pull over a member of the "Blue Knights"?

When I lived in Sydney long ago, I had a mate who did something similar. He would also buy a cheap car with some rego and fill out the transfer form with a false name and address and post it in to the Transport Department without the required payment, and keep a photocopy of the completed form to show if called upon. "The owner has sent it in, officer, can't understand why the reg. hasn't been transferred." This guy was a kiwi with a good bit of form and liked to fly under the radar.

Unless its changed recently, while they monitor the Sydney roads system so they can adjust traffic light timing and identify problems, they don't record the vision.

There have been a number of incidents where cameras were present but no recording. One was when rubble fell off a dump truck hitting a pedestrian in Darlinghurst and the other my house mate's cousin driving of my my uncle's semis. A driver apparently had a stroke at the wheel while crossing the Taren Point Bridge, hit the side of the truck, then two other cars and was dead when the car stopped. They tried to pin it on the semi driver.

Traffic cameras may not record but safety (red light and speed) both record to a hard drive which is swapped out each week by contractors :)
