I realise you are talking of relocatable speed cameras but don't your fixed speed cameras aim at the back of your car like many/most of ours in NSW do?

Nope they have up to now been front only. Means bikes can get away with anything.

I saw what appeared to be a permanent dual facing camera on Leach Highway. It may have been a traffic flow camera, however.

mate do you really own an armoured deefer?

i got done about a year ago down at busselton, the camera faces one way but can clock a car traveling towards the camera as well as away , since then been looking at the guide lines for camera operators , they must be more then 100 meters from a speed change , the one that got me was 120 meters from a 90 to 70 speed change on caves road and there is not allowed a metal object in the photo, in mine was a house for sale sign but it was a plastic one, bummer , mine was 79 in a 70 zone

As far as I know Ron, they don't have any fixed cameras over here yet.

If they do - they are only a new addition to the armoury. They do have "red light" cameras on some intersections in Perth, and there has been some talk of installing dual purpose speeding / red light cameras in some of these locations. They've also been talking about installing fixed cameras in the Graham Farmer Freeway tunnel ever since it was built - but I don't think they have done so yet.

I could be wrong though - haven't been down in Perth driving around for a little while now.

Yep , a former NSW "national living treasure" discovered that.. !!!

Whinge, whinge , whinge....Blah, blah, blah...

If you don't want the camera to get you... DON'T SPEED! (Personally I don't see how it affects Defender drivers anyway!)

And..On one hand some of you are saying you think we are becoming a police/nanny state and yet a reminder notice/invoice in the mail one month before the rego is due isn't good enough. You still want the govt to hold your little hands and give you a nice bright sticker, maybe with a cute little animal on it, to remind you AGAIN when your rego is due!

Awwwww.
