Hi everyone
The other day I was riding to work on my wife's zzr 250 doing 60 down behind umina golf course and there was a bloody cop hiding behind a parked car with a speed gun, You like those ones that clock brick walls doing 7kph.
Anyway are they legally aloud to hide behind parked cars?

Choose your turf wisely mate!!! I can't understand people got done on the highways... you know there will be law enforcement there!!
But that road to jindivik... well you gotta be extremely unlucky to see mr. policemen there
Better yet a track day cost $125.. now that's much less than the cheapest fine!

I got one for $125 for doing 106 in a 100kmph zone.... so its about the same as the cheapest fine.

Javaman wouldnt get caught speeding, he has to slow down to reach for the water bottle, while trying to keep the camera mounted properly!!

Allowed to hide? Are you kidding? In VIC you'd be lucky to find a cop car that
wasn't obscured in some way. Not that it matters these days - by the time you see them they already have your speed.

... while trying to get the front wheel up at the same time too
... that's why I don't do those kind of things on the highway/suburban ... As Stereo mentioned ... what does 6kph worth in terms of fun
Give us a stretch of back road anytime and we'll do 200+ happily
This is just my fantasy though (your honour).

Speed gun don't take photos! They have to go after you to hand out fine (I think)...
