    Exclamation WA DRIVERS BEWARE, REAR FACING MULTANOVAS

    First time today I have seen it, but the surprise is I haven't heard of it.

    Coming home from work tonight and only just around the corner from home. Turned left into Marangaroo Dve off Alexander, got halfway down the hill to see a car flashing its headlights coming the other way.
    Checked my speed, all OK. Just up on the left hand side there is a bush they normally hide behind. Looked but couldnt see anything, until, I got about 15m from it. Sure enough std issue Nissan Xtrail wedged up against the tree and the camera buried back in the bush facing the same direction as me!!

    I admit, I don't watch the "trial by media" nightly spews but there seems to be nothing on this unless I have missed something somewhere???

    Guess now you wont be able to dab the pedal as your brake lights will be showing, but it also means now that the onus is on the owner, not the driver to carry the burden of the fine. With no photo to prove who was driving, think this is just another typical "Police State" mentality grabbing for cash.

    However, with the amount of tossers who go flying along this section of Marangaroo Dve, hope it pulls a few off the streets.

    I live in numberplate viewing distance of The Avenue in a cul-de-sac and at least every month, there is one accident, nightly 20 or so speeders.

    But only the second time I have seen a speed camera anywhere near here.

    So although they extend their method of income, they need to focus on where the "core business oportunities" really are.

    Cheers

    Andrew

    Asfar as Im aware,the rear shots are from a dual camera,if you are speeding on approach you get a rear shot too.
    Its to get mojobikes and those who have "lost" their front plates!!!

    G'day LOVEMYRANGIE

    Looks like you have an ex Qld plod that has moved west, up here they park one the side of the road sometimes hidden with the camera by the front bumper, and the "speed camera in use" sign facing at right angles to the road alinement , so if you were standing on the opposite kerb you could read it easily

    entrapment????

    If the road is single lanes either way, the will capture traffic in both directions.

    No excuses. Takes about 10 seconds to confirm the status on any rego plate.

    https://paylicence.dpi.wa.gov.au/web.../registration/ The biggest implication is not having any third party insurance if driving an unregistered vehicle. The lawyers must be rubbing their hands at the prospects!

    More winners & grinners .....

    It's OK if you own 1 or 2 rides ... But what if you have 3 cars & 3 trailers ....
    Life is not B&W .... and the stickers help remind you ....

    mmmmm ... can see a new business of supplying "reminder of month Lic due" stickers to sell ...... (Hang on!!! we already had them once)

    Yeah . . . I might make some of my own stickers. I always liked being able to tell by just looking at the windscreen.

    What a stupid situation.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    you got pencil and paper write yourself a note as to when rego is due, got a pencil and calendar circle the date of renewal, got a computer and outlook or any other software like To Do set up a compute reminder on renewal, got a wife tell her not to forget, stop blaming the police and pollies about not having rego sticker not to remind you to have car registered

    Dont you get rego papers about 1 month before renewal date and as for identifying the driver in NSW they pixalate the drivers face out so you cannot use the photo as proof of driver they want you to do a stat dec that way if they can prove you are lying your in bigger trouble. But having said that dont speed and dont drive unregistered cars no problem

    PS the onus is on the registered driver to prove they wernt driving and you have to name the driver if you cant its your problem as far as the law goes
