Its been menacing the shire for years and gets loads of people. Have you ever taken note of the pissy little warning sign that sits just before it, its about 2 inches high.To answer your question, if your way over on approach then I think your in trouble but if you say just before it and its targeting your direction of travel and then you slow down you should be ok. If it was at night then you would already know about and probably wouldnt be adsking the question.Someone from our run the other night will be along soon and say a bit more about it I should think.Nearly been done by the damn thing myself a dozen times. Only last week I went over the crest of a hill at Sylvania and had a bad feeling, so I slowed down and there it was.I think its one of the last vehilce mounted ones left in Sydney, the RTA taking it all over, but they are never mobile, though the technology does exist for it.I.B.

Not sure why they haven't updated yet. Mustn't have enough kilometers or costs too much to do the conversion into a new car.

And it is still an AU cause it does not have the K's and holds the device which is expensive to convert over to a newer vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was either laser beam which works as you described, or doppler effect used by radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was either laser beam which works as you described, or doppler effect used by radar.yeh I would have thought it would use the Doppler effect to measure speed??simply measuring the time to cut the bars would be way to inaccurateI.e. a 20 foot limo travelling at 200kph would cut the 'bars' for the same timeframe as a 10foot car travelling at 100..ORthe plane on the treadmill would never pass thru the bars because it sits f*$cking still !!!!!!
