    ...you're sure of a big surprise between Mylor and Echunga.

    Waz had told me about this one but I saw it for myself today while I was out for a spin - in the wife's MX5 fortunately.

    I say it's unAustralian. I think I'll get some disposable signs made up that say "SMILE" and keep them in the boot for times when I feel I must exhort my fellow citizens to be friendlier. Something that would slip over a white post easily.

    Anyway, nice top down spin in the misting rain apart from that. :)

    That is a cute car mate. I saw one or two on the GC while I was there. Some guy was flying past us in one actually. He looked gay though. :):)

    http://www.police.sa.gov.au/sapol/road_safety/speed_camera_locations/country_speed_camera_locations.jsp

    The problem its not all of them listed, but its a help.

    Some nice *anti* speed camera photos on this site, but the letter re speeding ticke,t takes the cake [he beat the rap too]

    Regular listed camera locations always have a Speed Cameras Save Lives sign after you have gone through. These stealth cameras don't. So you don't even know you have been stung till the notice (or copper) arrives. Not on.

    Ouch.. that's a confirmed camera? did you peer in and see a lens?

    Unbelievable if that's the case.. I've seen pics of hidden stuff on US sites but didn't know we had stooped soooo low here..

    So sad when licence pass tests are so low (I should know, my eldest just got his P plates.. no indictement on him, he's got good aptitude and attitude.. but they don't even test if he can hit the brakes in emergency stop!!)

    If you get caught breaking up a camera on a pole you're toast.. but surely they won't be so hard if you,.. err.. should accidently reverse and knock someone's bin over so foolishly left by the roadside there.. even a slight nudge might leave it pointing to somewhere innocent instead..

    Volunteers for putting on really thick japanese style glasses and doing some reverse park testing with L-plater? You can never tell what such practice may hit..

    I'm sure we can all kick the tin for said volunteer's costs in case..

    i guess that's why the 4WD is in the background of the first pic - to keep an eye on things?

    Hmm, where can you hire one of those green waste collection trucks from......

    Organise a special collection from Mylor on Sunday. As the camera is getting crushed, and its supervisor is bashing on the drivers' door glass, driver holds up a sign that says:

    "The operator of the machinery has been instructed not to communicate with the public, please address any queries to our website at www.carefactorzero.com"
