Went to dinner last night and came across two of these
They are small portable speed cameras which advise you of your speed when you exead the limit. Both were in 40-50Klms hour spots.
I did not see any cops with them but always expect them PLease
Why am I putting this in Mini CHat..Well its the easiest way to check your speedo calabration

agree with gafmo these are a great idear.
I rang up police and vic roads too find my closest one so i could check my
speedeo readings when i got my 13's put on and my new speedeo too
they found me one in vermont but this was years ago say two years maybe.

They have them on trailers in Melbourne they park on the roadside. They show your speed on approach and a smiley face if you are under the limit, a sad face if you are over. Pretty funky.

Last time I saw one it was conveniently placed on a short strech of road with a roundabout at either end. So I went past several times to check my speed-by-tacho-in-4th gear figures. (My speedo is way out!)

Follwed a cop car through one once. It stayed on a sad face the whole time - 75 in a 60 zone and the cop didn't slow.

i have seen heaps of them around here, i think the local cops own one and take it out every now and then. tried to see how slow i could go thru it one night, the lowest reading i got was 13. and a smiley face this was at about 1 am

Yeh they have some in WA. the police have a largish one they put on the freeway roadworks often and a few small yellow ones around school zones...i wonder when theyll start to put small hidden cameras in them to pick up speeding motorists....
