I doubt they'd need to lie about it the following vehicle would have to be less than 1/2 a metre behind you to obscure your number plate the only other thing would be a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, but the road sensor would tell which side of the road triggered the camera Kev

Those cameras seem to make folks angry. Did you remember seeing a long row of fractured plate glass panes at the St Helena revenue point? (The big hill near Byron Bay). It is one of the most profitable cameras in the state. The RTA seems to have designed the road conditions there for maximum violations.

The coppers there know they will always get their beer money

Much better option from VIC to QLD, particularly if > you're aiming for the coast beyond BRIS. Yeah, I've done the Newell a few times on a Kawasaki 750 back in the 80's. Best time was 20 hours for the 1900 klms. Left Melbourne at 5 am, arrived Brisbane at 1 am. But whether you do the Newell by car or bike you never fail to arrive caked in dead flies, bugs and grasshoppers. I got a bit tired of that. But I had to keep the kids entertained this time. The road trip was the holiday and we needed to stop at Port Macquarie. V > > -- > Athol > <http://cust.idl.com.au/athol> Linux Registered User # 254000 > I'm a Libran Engineer.
