If that's SOP for all jurisdictions, then that's fair enough, I s'pose. A fair way to police this (other than to use rigidly inflexible speed cameras and the drones that operate/administer them), would be for police to wave over a "speeding" driver and if it's within that tolerance window, to caution them about it. One, it stops the driver speeding through the school zone and, Two, it allows the driver to check his clock if his car has one. It also alerts him to the need to be aware of what he needs to do. Having distinctive flags flying at the start/finish of the school zones during their operating times would be one cost effective way to manage this, I feel. After all, the idea is to STOP people speeding and placing children at risk. Not to use them as opportunities to raise some extra cash and for police nuff nuffs to get their quotas up.

Now Al, you know better than that - the tree-huggers won't let you do experiments on sweet innocent monkeys. Or sour guilty monkeys. Or even on a monkeys etc, whatever that is. Gotta treat them humanely, unlike the humans. Neil --- Neil Fisher / Bob Young Thundercords personal opinion unless otherwise noted. Looking for spark plug leads? Check out http://www.magnecor.com.au

Most of them these days earn better money than a general practitioner :) -- Regards, Noddy.

These days you need to have a year 12 certificate before a lot of companies will take you on as an apprentice Kev |
