What Police Presence ???

Police presence would lead to people slowing down and then the speed cameras would catch less people, hence decreased govt revenue.

I travelled the pacific highway on Wednesday last week from Sydney to Woolgoolgaand saw 5 police vehicles actively patrolling. Only two were the standard white set up. The others were a bright Orange colour, a Black one and a green one. In the past week I have also come across a Blue one that patrols north of Coffs Harbour to at least Grafton.

Although the previous weekend I drove up and back from Sydney and Woolgoolga and saw none, so it is a bit of luck of the drawer.

Everyone knows the police all take their holidays before Christmas/New Year so they can be on patrol when all the idots are really loose on the roads.

Its also cheaper to put a trailer on the side of the road than have a patrol car cruising up and down the freeway.

Police do not take their holidays before christmas....

I drove Sydney - Tamworth - Pt Mac - Forster - Central Coast - Sydney last week...and saw about 10 Police cars.

Either you drive with your eyes closed, or the cop car was 2 km behind, or in front of you. They are always there mate, just sometimes a little in front or behind...goes to reason.

I saw 3 going over the Moonee bridge, both marked and unmarked and you would never have picked the unmarked one except he had someone stopped with the red/blues going !!!

Doesn't matter what they do they are always damned...too many and people whinge about being booked, or not enough and people complain ?????

The most appropriate person to lodeg a (formal) complaint with is the Local Area Commander. You will get a reply.

Oldbaz,
The cops are around, they just leave good citizens like you alone. If you're feeling left out, try putting your foot down.

They are spending Xmas on the far north coast roads.

Its the ones you dont see you should worry aobut.

Drove trailers for 8 odd yrs, and many trips never SAW a cop, but they are hiding there in the swill .. LMAO!

They are out and about:

Talk about being in unmarked patrol cars, saw two in EA falcon sedan the other day. It might pay not to look out for the latest and greatest.

You travelled on the wrong day. The bloke across the road counted 10 between Lake Munmorah & Gosford today.

Hmmm... Last Sunday I drove from MEL to ADL and whilst unusually, there was only one Vic Cop to be seen (I swear they breed on the Western Highway), there were about eight SAPOL cars and bikes from the border to the city...

Andrew who is just entertained watching for them, whilst crawling along in the 1HZ

Sorry Chaps,
The less visible the cops are the better [and safer].

eg: your happily cruising along, not a care in the world when suddenly you spot one.
- you drop the phone out of sight,
- put your smoke in the ashtray,
- throw the half eaten burger to one side,
- sling your seatbelt on,
- drift back over to the left side of the road,
- check the speedo,
- then when you see the white of his eyes...pretend you havent
noticed him.

All this has to happen within 2.5 seconds otherwise your a gon'er.

Get rid of them and let us manics drive in peace, I say....LOL.

Cheers.....Lionel.
