We passed one in Morley Saturday arvo

See you there today hopefully

I think we've done well to survive this long since the Police went digital. I fully expected it to die soon after.

If I read that article correctly I think it will fail. Cars coming up the on-ramp are already at a disadvantage because their lane is about to end and they are supposed to be matching the speed of the traffic on the motorway. They should have the right of way over cars already on the motorway (IMO)....
