Below is a copy of an email I just received from a mate I hope to be visiting the big smoke again in the near future.
I like to know if it true or not if its true one would have to be driving with one eye on the speedo all the time, real great for safety . and with a tolerance of 102 kph does not leave much for speed error
I know this method is used in NSW to book trucks.

I put this warning out a while back … having heard that one of the members of this network got stung twice in the one day while visiting Sydney … again I remind you.

Sydney Speed Cameras and Fines … New Legislation M5 & M7 Re Speeding Fines

M5 and the M7 are now equipped with Point to Point Speed Devices. On entering the M7 the etag beeps and a camera takes a photo of your car recording the exact time. On exiting the etag system beeps again another camera at that point takes a photo of the car and the time. Then the computer calculates the time it has taken you to travel between the two points and calculates your speed. If you completed the clocked journey too fast you are issued with a speeding ticket.

At the present the speed limit is 100K.P.H. with a tolerance of 102 maximum. Over that and you are issued with a fine automatically. What a shock some drivers are going to have when they use this roadway for a week and get a weeks' tickets BOTH WAYS. Of course your license will also be recalled for 3 months. Now with the new legislation, fighting a Speed Camera fine is almost impossible. You must prove the device is faulty and if you are not a technician working on them, you have no chance of beating the fine.

These new point to point systems are being put onto any expressway and highway where vehicles are not able to exit between those points.

NOTE: School zone cameras are not speed tolerant. Anything over, even 41, is a fine.

The truck i drive has 105km on the limiter, i used the m7
about 3 months ago, have herd nothing about it.

In vic on the hume from Broadford in to Melb they have
time over distance cameras, the limit over most is 110km/h
trucks are only allowed 100 never herd of a truck being nocked
off along here, i always sit on the limiter.
The camera must not be linked to the vicroads daterbase to
determin if it is a car or truck.
Vic also has a 3km tollerance on cameras.
