NSW has it too, probably most states now, the camera on-board has number plate recognition, it has probably made its money back already for unregistered car fines etc. WA would need it, you can register a car over there in someone else's name without rego papers, mate registered the EL I sold to him in my name because the dumb asses wouldn't register it his name because he didn't have a receipt etc (no provisions for stat dec like NSW), the car was unregister from NSW He didn't even get my details right and they allowed it I wouldn't sell an unregistered car over there, likely I would end up with cops on my door asking about the car that was registered in my name doing a bank robbery, at least if it was registered, that is if it was similar to NSW, I could send the change of ownership paper into the roads department.

I think fiftyone is on crack. Generally they do the two cop cars thing just for speeding, one car hitting them with the radar, radioing ahead to the second car to wave them in. Usually a couple of cops in the second car so they can revenue rai... I mean increase road safety, more efficiently by doing a couple of cars at once.

Who knows, maybe 10 minutes down the road they are still speeding, kid comes out of nowhere and knocked down!!! Then everyone would be like, where are the police now??? These guys are just doing their job. These days the police seem to be F'd with they do and F'd if they don't.

Which vehicle is going to have the better chance of avoiding Gyzmo's suicidal children? Yet the same draconian laws apply to all vehicles. The laws are as moronic as the people who enforce them since they cannot be trusted by their elders. When you think about it this is going against the natural selection principle. Why is that? Well somebody has to do it!

I agree with both here, sometimes it is over the top with bookings but many times we have been shown the different in distance 5km over the speed limit is, yeah I would be p****d at the time, but it is the rules and if it saves "just" one child I would think it is worth it, people with their own children they care about would agree with this. [quote="Commando"]When you think about it this is going against the natural selection principle. Why is that? Well somebody has to do it![quote] Natural selection is nearly gone in this current time in non third world countries, medicines, surgery and people hook up for love, not who is stronger, higher intelligence, without medical conditions, taller and has the right features to make better children. Running over children is not natural section, cars aren't natural, the only way some natural section is going to come back is to drop all types of medicines and surgery, so this mainly happens in third world countries.
