Two other things I have noticed on the highway between Newcastle and Tamworth. The highway patrol are known out there for their different colour unmarked commodores red, green, blue, cadbury purple or candy cars as the truckies call them and but recently a lot of them have been plain white, a ploy to catch those that slow down when they see a candy car or white is cheaper for a cash strapped government? Saw two unmarked XR8 falcons cruising around the Cessnock region over the weekend been ages since I've seen a Falcon XR8 Cop car (do recall there was an issue with the Falcons a while ago and the cops ditched them)
