In the good old days , 70 80 , having a Vector would shave easily any speed trap.
Now it is a Armada of devices to control everybody , it is a matter of years before we will have obligatory Gps based car to report to the Master Central . This is Speed Land Security , speed is becoming a major crime , perhaps worse than drug trafficking ... :roll:
All this ''safety'' to probably died in an atomic attack or a stupid cancer :shock:
I know the zombie like state. For me its like 8 hours of driving and only 1 coffee in the day...
I was heading back to the cottage on sat night. (I forgot some important stuff here in T.O.) So on the way back I get off the 401 east bound at wooler rd and am doing between 130 and hit 150km in an 80 zone. I was about to go around a kinda sharp turn so I slowed it down to 125ish and half way through the turn I got hit with K-band and hlaf sec later the cop passed me going the opposite direction. The worst part was I just muted the alert like it was nothing and then when i relized it was a cop I said my o-shoots.
thankfully the cop did not turn around.
Over here theres a whole heap of new laws coming into effect shortly other States have had some of these for a while:Quote:

If you don't stop and are chased by Police, mandatory jail periods.
If you are caught speeding 40+ over the limit twice in 12 months, you lose your car to the State.
Talk about Big Brother :roll: :roll:
I can see the old satellite tracking in all vehicles coming in the near future which will make all of our toys useless.
damn, lose your car??????? F that!
Yeah pretty harsh huh!!!!!!Quote:

I wouldn't mind a new CBR1000RR but they're $18000 AU + on roads, I'm not that rich at the moment :cry: :cry:
So do they keep the car? I mean forever? What if you have like a couple of cars, each time you get caught in a different car. What car will they take then?
I can't see how a gov't can take a car for that. I mean, what if you have a $100K car?????????????????//
Do the crime, do the time.
U.S. government regularly seize assets, including cars, boats, houses of criminals.
OK, speeding is not a capital offense, but it is still an offense, especially for excessive speeds.
I'm not condoning with the seizure of a car because the owner was speeding, but those choose to speed excessively can't say they were't forewarned.
Excellent point, that's how I got nailed not paying attention.Quote:

As GPS is currently configured your on board box is receive only. There is no way in hell the system will allow transmission from receivers. Possibly they could link through cell phone type networks but this is also easy to jam with very little power.
By 40 km/h? That's pretty excessively inexcessive.Quote:
