On the median strip?? doesn't that come under "obtaining evidence illegally" these days as their vehicle was not parked legally??
I remember seeing that former cop on the news/current affair and this was one of the ways out of a speeding offence........i could be mistaken or they may have just changed the rules since then.

now let me see....
the last time I got caught was for 117 in an 80 zone test driving a Brock Blue Meanie
...in 1984 and the nice policeman made it 109
so
guess that gives me a few lives

4 demerit points (but on double demerits here if I get caught doing 15kms or more over the limit again)
Still paying for my little Good Friday indiscretion!

I seem to get them 1 at a time until a few months ago when I got a 3 pointer after a policeman decided to tailgate me in his v8

Actually, you don't lose points. You gain them... But that's besides the point.
You may be very suprised to learn that Ive lost, err, gained, none.

12 months ago I would have been boasting about having no demerit points on my licence. I'd gone 4 years without a ticket. Then earlier this year I was going somewhere in the city and was a little lost, to aid me all the road names in Melbourne are written on postage stamps and hidden up buildings and light poles. Anyhoo, I got pinged by a red light camera 1 second after it changed - guess I was looking for a street sign, or I had pulled across the line to be safe in front of cars. I didn't bother contest it as running a red is one of my pet hates and it would be hypocritical.
Then a couple of months ago I got busted 4km over in the rabbit warren close to home - in my van. 1 point, $142 fine.
So now I have 4 points, the most I have ever had on my licence in 17 years.
