it remains to be seen whether the $35/ticket onslaught will be able to get me out of bed earlier, in order to compete for the limited free parking in the morning.

im really jewish but i love my sleep, so it should be an interesting battle.


I've got $10 on sleep, right here. Anyone want to give me some odds on this?

Go Queensland!

You haven't seen anything until you visit Victoria. We got "safety" cameras in your face everywhere you drive.

We have 176 in NSW. I go past like half of them. Interesting thing is that I keep seeing more of them burned to a crisp, most recently the one up the road from me

They aren't really that bad because you know where they are and the GPS tells you where the rest are. What is annoying are the 40km/h school zones. What's even more annoying is that I actually think they are a good idea, I just hate going through them. God damn

I don't recall seeing automated speed cameras in america but I'm sure they exist.

A lot of the speeding ticketing is done by cops in cars who gun you and then pursue you till you pull over which takes no longer than 30 seconds if you aren't in the mood to pull an OJ speed chase.

Red light cameras are getting more frequent but some cities have taken them off because they don't generate enough revenue.


In France automated speed cameras are the norm, with these signs announcing them:



"FOR YOUR SECURITY, AUTOMATED CONTROL".
The camera is usually 10 to 30 seconds afterwards (obviously depending on the speed at which you are travelling).
You occasionally have cop cars, with one doing the gunning and one further done the road signalling you to pull over if you were gunned earlier. On the highway there are some Subarus that can go on high speed pursuiits:




In Switzerland you have small signs that mark "Radar"

Since we're mentioning the police, NSW must have the coolest looking police cars in the world. God damn do the new Commodores look sexy

we do have speed cameras and radar in my area, but also do have cops who love to hide behind a bush or under the bridge.

No speed cameras in California, but we do have red light cameras. My best friend lives in Arizona and they have cars with a 4ft pole with a camera on top. They are speed cameras. They put them all over. No one is usually in the car.

The German autobahn has no set speed limit and knowing that I'd imagine many people (not just Americans) would take that as a sign that they can go 100+ mph (or 203847103894 km/h for you metric people). This article is set to remind them that despite the fact that the autobahn has no speed limit, many highways do and if you ignore them you'll get busted regardless of there not being a visible police officer.

Some parts of the Autobahn (or as us English speakers better know it as a freeway) do have speed limits.

Right. But I'm sure there are a lot of people that have heard that "the autobahn has no speed limit" and figure, fuck it I'll just tear down here as fast as I can.
