Re: RBT positions
Maybe I don't go out at the 'right' times but I've only ever seen one spot used around here and that's outside a local High School - loads of parking - on a Sunday afternoon. Obviously they're in other places, I've just managed to miss seeing them.

A friend had the same happen, but the officer didn't believe the explanation and he had to sit there while another officer got a second unit and he had to do another test and even then he could hear them discussing whether or not he should go for a blood test. :lol: :) Yes, I can just imagine. I still haven't had an RBT since moving to Australia. +7 years now. :fingerscrossed: |

You say that like you routinely drink and drive.
I welcome the checks personally. My routine: Home to Work to home and some weekend daytime riding/driving/shopping until beer o'clock. |

No chance. I just haven't had one.

Fair enough.

Re: RBT positions
There was a blitz of Mobile RBT's in my area last Friday night. I was taking my daughter to Dance class at 5pm and passed 14 ( Yes Fourteen ) Highway Patrol cars within fifteen minutes. They seemed to be individually pulling cars over rather than a road block operation. This was in the Avoca Beach / Terrigal , not usually a target area.
Its unusual to see Highway Patrol cars in this area at all, normally just odd ones here and there. No mention of it in the local news this week, but there were a lot of cars and utes parked on grass verges the following morning. A lot of tradies having a quick beer on a Friday afternoon got more than they bargained for. |

One of their favourite spots was on the mainland side of the bridge from Bribie Island, (so no way to avoid it) especially on a Friday evening after the kids had been playing football - a couple of the mothers fell foul of that one, particularly delightful to be drinking and driving with a bunch of teenagers in the car with you. Two of the ones here in NSW were on a Saturday morning on the road from the Blue Mountains into Penrith - at a push, I'd guess their trawl was large from such a stop. |

Oh and I've just been done for jumping a red light, in my defence....I have no defence, I was being supremely impatient. Bugger |
Re: RBT positions
You'd have to be an ant with emphysema to get pulled up at a RBT (ie not blow correctly).
I often blow completely lightly into it, and trickle the last bit in, and it's still enough to get me across the line. Rgds, |
