Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 16y 8m 19d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted 20/07/10 03:01 PM Share Posted 20/07/10 03:01 PM I've got an idea...Spray paint cans... Beenies... and a night where an 'unknown' group of people test there artistic skills out on these things...Da Gurly and I had a camera right out the front of our driveway (Castle Hill) and I had always planned on seeing if my pitching arm was still any good... not to sure why I never did test it out... But I will confirm that it was taking out once or twice while we were living there by drivers...Save lives, or just another pole for people to crash into on stupid bends and dumb locations...Oxy flame should cut one of these down pretty quickly...What you think would happen if all the Territory's one night had slashed tyres and painted windows/cameras? Im sure if a car drove past slow enough and a few paint filled water bombs balloons where thrown, the would surly up the thing out of commission for a few hours...Repeated over and over and over again - maybe someone would get the picture one day - red paint maybe? (blood colour after all)... I think if there was a petition sent around for some 'real' research into road safety and speeding/fines etc rather then money grabbing - almost every Aussie ver the age of 16 would sign, and one could only hope and assume people power would have people stand up and take a serious look. Like all the recent reports recommend - serious driver education is more important then money grabbing...Serious question to ask yourself..Done getting a fine "REALLY" stock you from speeding? Or just piss you off?Be honest...Why is it you 'REALLY' speed?Lack of focus?Unknown speed limit?Cos you are late?Get stress out of your system?Enjoyment/adrenalin?

But seriously what would happen if you run into one of these territorys. Im just waiting to see trucks taking them out...As dumb it sounds, theres dumb people out there that would do itthis one was manned.. by a big fella smashing down some KK's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now the latest trick is completely un-signed to help save a few more lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People would drive past and chuck things out the windows of their moving cars and hit the vans. One van even had some dudes unleash on it with a BB gun and smash all the windows! Another one had a dude get out with a baseball bat, smash the window and try and break the camera and the operator! It calmed down in the last few years but. Wonder if NSW will go through a phase of people smashing them up. Hope so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone down here drives around looking out for them. So if there is ever a van or something similar broken down or parked on the side of the road, every man and his dog starts slamming the brakes on! Then you drive past and find out it is only some plumber talking on his mobile phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 8m 21d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 21/07/10 01:47 AM Share Posted 21/07/10 01:47 AM I do not know how they changed the law in NSW, as the Scamera cars were all monitored by police. Now they are monitored by employees of Redflex, who also is contracted to provide the scamera cars and processing of the pictures.As they are only handing out warning letters, we should see who can get the highest speed (joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
