I like it...mate and I decided we won't be pulled up by anything other than that

just cause we wanna have a look

Disclaimer because someone is gonna say something: yes only joking there, if we get pulled over we will pull over!

I don't see what's new about having the WAPOL crest on the bonnet. I've seen a number of TE vehicles with it on there.

I remember the days when we lived out in the country, and every white car we saw (which wasn't many where we were) were considered to be unmarked police... Long gone are those days. I'm pretty sure there are at least one of every colour out there now...

As for putting out the signs before multanova's, I disagree with that plan. It takes away the uncertainty of having a camera/hand held 'just around the corner' all the time. That's how I drive, and it keeps my mind on what speed I'm doing. We all know people are going to slow down when they see one of those signs, and then speed up again once they've passed the camera. So why bother?? Don't see the point to be honest!

Because it may change the perception of revenue raising, and if they were smart they would set up another a bit further down the road. The cops need to be acountable for their actions as well as the public, and the only way they can do that is to not hide behind trees hills ect. I think it is the best plan they have had yet. At the end of the day the best deterent for speed is an obvious presence of police. The more people see the police the less they will speed.

The maximum distance between the sign and the camera is 5K's, if they get someone speeding to slow down for 5 K's then that's better than having them speed those 5 K's and get caught, sucks to be them if there's a cop car driving past them afterwards that catches them, or some cops doing laser work

But there's no reason why they can't just put the signs out and no camera. I believe they also said only some cameras would have that sign and not all.
