That sucks Wilko. that's 2 peeps in a few weeks :/

Would a radar detector have helped? Or was the copper shoooting a gun from rear? 

Can you apply for E plates or double or nothing (is that a thing over there?)....Or that doesn't work for hoon law?

Radar detectors are of little use these days.  It's all laser now, which is precise and instant.  The radar detector will go apesh*t, but it's too late.  

I've got a Valentine One in my taxi.  It usually gives me a little bit of warning about front-facing cameras, but only a couple of seconds.  For rear-facing cameras there is no prior warning, but it's useful having the V1 go nuts because then I know that I've just passed a camera.  I remember that location for next time.

For double-or-nothing, that's for demerit points suspensions only.  

For court-ordered suspensions, life gets difficult.  You can apply for an extraordinary licence but you have to wait several weeks before applying, and then wait for a court date.  

The gadget to have these days is a laser jamming system.  Not cheap - around two grand upwards for something that works.  

For fixed-location cameras, get a TomTom 730 and bring it to me to set up.  I've got the camera locations saved, and my TomTom makes various warning sounds whenever I get near a fixed-location camera.  Very useful.

Edit: what barnz said above...pretty sure someone got in trouble here for that laser jammer...might have been kjoy? Don't recall the outcome though

Yeh I bought a sh*tty radar dectector (RX65 which guy said was recalibrated last month)....so far just likes to beep at every traffic camera (and the usual petrol station, etc).

Still haven't tested it properly past an actual laser....he said it will give a little warning, but not enough if you're hell hooning lol but yeh as you said Phil, no rear warning....personally...since they are legal still in WA (I think?) It kinda makes the car look a little undercover cop....people seem to move out the way a lot more now hahahah

Oh and I will legit take you up on that offer one day Phil....loaded up tomtom sounds sick lol

Yeah I got laser'd... He was parked in the median on a slight bend, he got me oncoming from 480 metres

No extraordinary license in VIC

I'll just see what happens when I go to court, could be months before that happens though
