Just got a $200 fine and 3 points for doing 114 kph on the Gateway motorway.

I don't mind the fine or the points 'cos it was a fair cop.

What I do mind is that the camera was in a vehicle which looked like a workman's ute, complete with yellow light on top.
It was not the usual speed camera van or even one of the Nissan Patrols that they sometimes use.

Be warned......

How the hell did you manage to get up to 114 on the Gateway????? The few times I've had to use it, I've been lucky to get over 80

It was a weekend

I've not got over 60 on a weekend! Hate that motorway, good job it's rare for me to need it.

I only use it when necessary

No choice really if you need to travel north.....I also have to use it to get to the racecourses

The state government is nearly bankrupt and needs the revenue. Consider it as doing your bit for society.

Where have you been G...they have been talking about these stealth vehicles for ages...for some reason they thought everybody was only slowing down when they saw a van or nissan so they've got the black paint out

How long did the ticket take to come through? I was in brissy the last weekend not had any tickets yet! I only passed one camera that I know of, luckily I was doing the limit at that point but I missed the bridge and ended up having to go through the city.

My excuse is the gearbox was ****ed on the car and I couldn't drive any slower than 40 stopping at lights was also a bit of an issue!

The last one that got me was a mini van/ people carrier thing in Rockhampton.

Yeah but 114 on a motorised wheelchair

Yep, they are assholes. They are revenue collectors for the governments - that's it.

What's wrong with that? If we get enough people speeding the government can cut income taxes

As if that would ever happen!

Agreed. I see Commodore Wagons set up with cameras regularly. The giveaway is that they have one of those spinning vents on the roof, must be to keep the equipment cool.

Sounds like he pulled you...rather than a ticket from a camera - is that right? I know they use an old banger on there complete with surf board and esky on the roof.

Nope.....it was a ticket from a camera.

Took about 3 weeks to come through.

Bastards.

Whilst all the time they allow driving too close, sitting in the middle and outside lanes and all the other stupid much more dangerous driving to continue because there is no revenue in it.
