I think she was going 30ish in a 50 zone
ha, that happened to me recently. I was driving a mate's car and trailer because he'd been drinking. I haven't driven a manual for years, and I forgot how to do a handbrake start on an incline. So, this dickhead was right on my arse and I thought I was gunna roll back into him.Idiots who sit right up your ass when your stopped on a steep hill. Gives you no room to move when you take off.
I give you people who speed knowing a fixed camera is ahead, jam on the brakes, and mess with the flow of traffic.
Was driving down Warrigal Rd just past Holmesglen where the speed limit is 40kph during the week but 60kph on Sundays, Was doing about 55kph just past the lights when this off duty policeman came up behind me and flashed his lights. Stopped in Harvey Norman so that the traffic wouldnt get held up and he comes up to me and asks me what the speed limit is. I say 60kph on Sundays, he goes off at me and says no its not its 40kph every day of the week....
I expect to get a ticket which i would have contested in a flash but he says "i don't give tickets i just hate when people speed, its not about the money its about lives" and i got a 10 minute lecture about speeding . So to get him off my back i just agree with him and he lets me go.
What gets me is that he stopped me for the wrong reasons to tell me i could kill someone when i was going 55kph in a 60 zone. Was very weird.
no i didnt think of it.Did you get his number plate or name? He should be reported
its 100 percent different on Sundays, I drive this road every day. It was made 40kph purely for revenue reasons about 5 years ago after being 60kph, It was 70kph about 20 years ago. There is a TAFE where they changed itI've never heard of a road with different speed limits for weekends. School zones in the morning and arvo but that's it.

Wasn't doubting you, just don't have any in Perth. Don't think I've seen it anywhere else either, wonder if any other cities do it.its 100 percent different on Sundays, I drive this road every day.

notice how it says Mon to Sat....
Never seen it in Adelaide either, seems strange to have 2 different speeds limits for different daysWasn't doubting you, just don't have any in Perth. Don't think I've seen it anywhere else either, wonder if any other cities do ot.
How the hell do people manage that.
How do you explain that to the insurance company?on the phone
I was there tonight and saw the flash of teh speed camera
Yeah, that's odd by that coppa.Was driving down Warrigal Rd just past Holmesglen where the speed limit is 40kph during the week but 60kph on Sundays, Was doing about 55kph just past the lights when this off duty policeman came up behind me and flashed his lights.

i did!! he went off at me lolYeah, that's odd by that coppa.
I'd assume most drivers would be well aware of the limits there, and especially a cop, because the speed camera is so infamous for nabbing people going down the steep-ish hill. I checked it out the other night going in both directions. That photo of the sign is current, and the illuminated sign would most likely have been visible from the Harvey Norman car park, so, had it occurred to you, you could've said, "hey, copper, the farkin lit-up sign there says '60'"
Dob him in at his local station.i did!! he went off at me lol
I wonder if he didn't give you a ticket because he realised half way through his lecture that he farked upi did!! he went off at me lol
