seriously, the reason for it is that if you where driving and broke your speedo cable you should be able to follow a police car and not be breaking the law, that's the exact words he used and he was a senior sarg. that and if they are speeding (without lights)they are breaking the same law that you are and if you fight the fine they get busted (tell tale instruments) so they will leave you alone.

I never see any police cars in QLD doing the speed limit, even when they dont have their lights on they usually travel at 15 - 20 kms over the limit, just like they all use their mobile phones when driving, no doubt their personal ones too!
