Exclamation QLD Speed cameras have they sneaked a new one in?

HI,

We have noticed a couple of times on the side of the road (traveling with in speed) and last night, an inersant looking white van with tinted window at back with 'Kill Your Speed' on the side or Every K over is a Killer'...

Has anyone been done by such a van, does it contain a camera or not as it doesn't have a snorkel like the 4x4 sneaky camera off roaders?

They're the ones I told you about ages ago, while unmarked as Police vehicles they still say "Every K over is a Killer" along the drivers side doors.
Yes they have cameras inside
There's a white panel van that often parks up in "hotspots", it has no markings at all aside from the small sign out front.

Bonus points for getting your picture taken going in reverse, airborne or naked.

And I'll gladly take the points for you if you can do all three.

I saw that van for the first time last night, on my way from Brisbane to the SC. It was on the Bruce

It's 4 wheel drives as a rule this end and it could have been a crime scene van like UK only problem was there hadn't been a crash.

Aint seen that one yet Anne!

Nearly got 'done' by the Silver 'snorkelled up' Land Cruiser driving up Oxley Ave the other night! Saw it at the last minute and hit the brakes!

They also like to sit as you split off from Anzac to go down towards Scarborough on Klinger Rd at the top of the very first hill where you are still pulling up the hill before the roundabout and beware the Clontarf sea front road is a regular haunt on at least a weekly basis often more. Elizabeth Avenue/Snook St. especially the lower end is another favorite.

Dont forget the unmarked police cars which have a lidar fixed to the dashboard, you have got no chance of spotting them.

Do get those new bonny cars all red and flashed up so you can spot them and have seen a very occasional unmarked one that has pulled some one over.

Plus the dog van's pull people here that didn't happen in the UK.
