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.

Still paying for my little Good Friday indiscretion! :x

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.

i've got 9 left so that means the last time i flagged at oran park was pulled over for speeding as i over took an unmarked in a 70 zone who was only doing 60 so i went around him doing 92 and his only question was "didn't you see me" my reply was "do you always drive like an old woman at a christening" hence loosing 3 points :supz: iamwithstupid.gif :kuda:

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. :twisted:
