Default New Police Speed Tracking Device!!!! A Plane!!

Yep the coppers have decided they want to go back to the old VASCAR system...

Basically they paint white lines on the road every 500mtrs and a plane picks a car and follows it...times it from 1 white spot to the other and calculates it speed, if your speeding then he radios to a cop car and he nails you!


To be honest i think the government should invest in more police on the road instead of hiding them in the air!! the more highway cars u see on the road the less likley you are to speed!

They tried this about 20 years ago and it lasted 6 months as it was too expensive to run so lets see how it goes this time.


The current locations where the white lines on the road are:

M4 Motorway between Northern rd Penrith and Mamre rd St Marys

Hume highway between Douglas Park and Marulan

So if you see a plane in the air around those locations you know they are watching you!
