Yes there were two types, 4wds (patrol, pajero, landcruiser) with Police stickers and camera unit/speed enforcement on the side, or merc vans with same markings, then they went to unmarked but of the same models, so still stood out. Now they've gone completely u/c, VZ utes, Golfs, Rodeo utes..

It is an interesting story The original Idea of these cameras were to be visual and therefore make drivers aware and slow down and If they remained unaware they would be booked for speeding. The focus was on slowing down drivers and awareness Now it is about booking drivers for revenue Now if you get booked you still don't slow down because you dont know you have been booked until the bill arrives in the mail That Is such a big help in slowing down drivers Of course the secondary issue that happens for people who just continue to speed is that they then drive without a licence anyway Gee this system works well !!!!! |

Yep... the clem 7 tunnel will go broke within 6 months, they should reduce the tolls and increase use.

On the speed camera's, here we go again. Was the last three threads not enough?
On the tunnel, why pay that much when it is actually no quicker than going the ICB during middle of the day traffic (yes I timed it while it was free). What a complete waste of money?

I saw a Rodeo this morning in Mitchelton on Samford Rd. 2 lanes in either direction to the curb. The Rodeo was parked next to the curb taking up one outbound lane. There an unmarked aurion/camry thing behind it having a chat.

Was white commodore ute with white tinted canopy at Indooroopilly today in the usual marked van spot on the traffic island directly across from the station. Had small numbers-letters handwritten in white paint pen in top corner of the side canopy windows.

I just don't get it... The second biggest cause of accidents is "driver inattention".
I've gotta say that I am inattentative nowadays. I'm constantly looking for bloody hidden cameras.  :
