With the police breaking their own rules, a oxly highway patrol car stopped a bike near Glenn Innes doing around the 160 mark and guess who it was ?Yep a law abiding senior sergeant police officer (off duty),from where i am not sure but he did get his licence suspended apparently

This is guy is a manipulative dick. He makes references to raised speed limits and how the road reduced, but fails to mention that those speed limits are still lower than in Australia, also fails to forget that car safety has increased which, that rescue services and hospital treatment has also improved, funnilyy enough around the world we have seen a reduction in fatalities (who would have thought!) But he forgets to mention that as a percentage the number of accidents has not decreased and that serious injuries has increased.
To use his own words, using statistical data to suit his own argument. The data is available from most state authorities.
If you do a search on the radar technology used in NSW you will also see what he is saying is misleading. The road side and hand held radars/ cameras will pick up the largest object, not the fastest necessarily and there are guidelines from the manufacturer about the use.
This is all public information if you want to look for it
