you missed accidental..

I got done in beverly hills by that speed camera that 90% of sydney got roasted by.. I wanna go there and smash the B4 into the poll.. 2 birds with the 1 stone.

There are multiple questions to this poll.

I would think that most speeders get caught at night and this is why, at night you can not see a radar gun or cop car until the last minute where that can see your light from miles away, at night there is not as many cars on the road so police can identify someone speeding quicker, at night drivers think they can get away with more as there are less cars on the road.

for the other question i have been done for speeding 3 times, sorry 4 and they all have been during the day, why because I was in a rush and at night I am just cruising and have no reason to speed, plus I know that I could be caught much easily at night.

Speeding is naughty, Don't do it.
Skooby, I didn't know there was a visible laser coming out of those things, pretty cool, where abouts on the car do you generally get a lock? and how long does it take to get one? How accurate is LIDAR? I'm assuming its more accurate then what is on the HW Patrol cars.

when someone tailgates me for doing the speed limit, i give them something to tailgate me for and slow down

unless they are really pissing me off, then i flick over to high boost and drop down a gear or two

Yeah i know there are very strict regulations in place with regards to the implimentation and use of hand held radar guns, as when they were coming into use a decade or so ago ( in aus) there was a bit of controversy because people were (read the police) were using them incorrectly, ie, instead of holding the gun in a stationary position at a certain angle they would move them along the length of the vehicle, adding to the apparent clocked speed of the vehicle, you can move a radar gun along a wall and get a pretty substantial speed reading, my four year old brother's hot wheels radar gun is testament to this.

Yeah the govt and police can pretty much anal rape you in any which way they care to, as most people have neither the money (sometimes they dont but go to court anyway) nor the time to contest small claims in court (i got another letter from the OFFICE OF STATE REVENUE, telling me that the offence i commited in Meadowbank stoping in a no stopping area to read a fking map whilst doing my job warrants a $200 fine) Im 18 and thats more than half of what i earn in a week. Personally i think they are a load of money grubbing blood sucking sh!tbags, that lack any form of reasoning power or rationality, as well as any sign of a moral centre. My 2c. I would have thought most speeders would get done during the daytime, but i guess that the general concensus points towards driving attitude at night being a key factor in influencing people to push the loud pedal.

thats exactly what i do. tap the brakes a bit and it usually scares them off, but if they persist, then its down to 40kms/hr for me

the downside is it then produces road rage. the other day i had four blokes in a hilux ute telling me to pull over so they could belt me. there was no gutter, so they were driving up on my left hand side and mouthing off. that was all because they were sitting right up my arse so i slowed down
some people  are tools

I got done on the Nullabor coming back from Adelaide.
Middle of nowhere, by a HP car coming the opposite direction.
Stupid 110 limits out there. grrr

can we all please agree and acknowledge that the RIGHT lane is for cars that want to overtake... the amount of Volvos picking the left lane is insane at the moment!:***:

not to mention people who flog it to get infront overtake and then slow right down...

I speed 90 percent of the time when driving, but its safe speeding, usually only 5 ks over.

Edited: because apparently I don't know my right from my left!

for those that know the area, i normally give the pedal a bit of a kick going down the Bangor Bypass (sutherland to menai) in southern sydney, mainly at night after dropping friends home early in the morning, the speed limit is 80 down there, and i think the worst i've done is 110 in my commodore
