Plus the dog van's pull people here that didn't happen in the UK.
Those new cars really stand out! A driver would have to be blind doing the wrong thing when they are around, but apparently they still do

It's a nice shade of red and I've seen a white one as well.

Elizabeth Avenue/Snook St. especially the lower end is another favorite.
There is also one that sits on the Deagon Deviation Redcliffe bound just before the Bridge on the centre reservation around the change from 90 to 60.

They were out in force yesterday morning on the Bruce. The old Silver Landcruiser again, just before your turn off Anne! Another KM North and I saw the new shiny Red one, had just pulled some moron in a souped up Hoon-Mobile. You're right, how COULD anyone miss that thing!

And sometimes there is more than a ticket for them at the end of their stupidity.

I was talking to a mum yesterday whose 25 year old son was in a souped up Nissan skyline, racing along like an idiot, weaving in an out of traffic as they do, left it too late to slow down for the lights, and t-boned a car turning right . This resulted in a fatality. She was worried initially about the cost of replacing the written off vehicles until I reminded her that her son faces a jail term if he is found guilty of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. No winners in that situation

As he's at fault insurance may decline to cover him anyway and if other person was killed that could be a major payout for someone?
