Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
DavoTheGreat said:Bangers' right. School zone warning signs in NSW clearly say 'School Days' below the applicable times, so there's your evidence to cover yourself with. So any day where your kids don't have to go to school, these zones don't apply.
Btw it helps to have a school teacher for a Mrs as I don't have any kids and never know when it's school holidays or not

van going through a red light.I explained to the copper the lights were just changing as I went through.The police constable did not want to have a bar of it,and promptly issued me with $205 fine.Just the other night this same police divi van at the same time and place was in front of me doing around 75km in a 60km zone.Now here is the good part,he approached the same intersection that I got booked and while the traffic lights had been red for a long time put on his flashing blue and red lights and crossed the intersection.He promptly turned of the lights once he was over.I felt like following him and giving him a piece of my mind,but thought the better of it.I got a big fine from those hipocrits and here they do what they like.The police are a law to themselves.

this guy got arrested and fined or something for standing on the sidewalk with a crappy little cardboard sign saying police radar and telling people to slow down, which they did.
so, to the coppers, would you guys arrest anyone for standing on the side of the road, not in a dangerous spot with a sign saying you were up the road hiding with your radar gun?
id personally like to see vic and other states if they dont, do same as qld and have to display a sign saying theyre there, although last one of them i saw was on such an angle that you only saw what it said once you were parallel with it.
someone told the cops it was distracting, so they say, yet most people gave him a thumbs up or similar and slowed down, so what if we were to put up a sign on a post? its no more distracting than a garage sale sign or even speed limit signs, etc.
what are your thoughts?
