    Thumbs down ppl in perth have no idea

    I love it, within the first 5 days of having Perth's first fixed camera on mitchell freeway it nabs 20,000 people speeding!
    Freeway speed camera nabs 20,000 'absolute idiots' | Perth Now

    surely alot of them were under 110 but thats not the point, the point is 20,000 in 5 god damn days that works out to something like 166 people each hour every day got caught!

    bloody moronic

    Hahaha damn straight ay, nah I dont really hit tonkin anymore. Pretty hilarious though and now they are putting a speed camera going the other way and apparently stationing actual police cars over the holidays. It will just be like the speed cameras that are now at intersections, most people only slow whilst crossing it then speed up again.

    fixed cameras are already on the tonkin at collier road intersection. plus tonkin is a dog of a highway sometimes open but more than likely snail paced

    What speed on the freeway do they catch you at? I always go around 104 - 105 on the freeway, just because people are up my arse all the time

    This is the most unbelievable part of the whole story.

    "Police will allege a 28-year-old Mt Nasura man was driving a Holden Commodore at 199km/h in the 100km/h zone, while the 23-year-old Tapping man was allegedly nabbed travelling at 176km/h in his Mitsibishi Magna."

    Crush the cars and lock'em up I say.

    Pretty sure once youre doing a certain speed over your car does get taken/crushed... or that could be hoon laws I dont remember. Like some no brains in a ford on the way home today, weaving through traffic and overtaking up to 15 cars/trucks a time in the emergency lane -_-

    Where on the freeway is it?
    Between the Karrinyup Rd off ramp and on ramp as you're heading north. A big silver/grey box on the left hand side. The camera is facing north as well so will take a picture from behind so bike riders...you will not get away with it either.

    It's things like this that spread urban myths or stories that become "fact".

    Taken straight from the WAPOL website

    On 1 January 2010, penalties for hoon behaviour were amended by the Road Traffic Amendment (Hoons) Act 2009.For any applicable offence police must impound a vehicle for 28 days for a first offence. For a second offence they must impound a vehicle for three months. Upon conviction for a third or subsequent offence, as well as the normal penalties for the offence, a court may also order the permanent confiscation of the vehicle or its impoundment for up to six months.

    Permanent confiscation usually means the vehicle is auctioned off.

    rear facing camera is not really that bad for bike riders, I just used to pop her up on 1 and sail past with my plate facing the road pretty much
