Yes, That's the Question that the Navigator and myself are slightly confused about and it's something you can not argue about when two of the finest have you bailed up, The only thing we did different was use the phone maps to to see where we were as there was a detour which got us lost .But there was no one behind us no cameras no trip wire I am thinking maybe a drone because they knew exactly where I was ???

Who are them blokes after? Yea you guessed it was me 😞 He says G'day we have following you for awhile you were doing this speed , I agree they were all cool but no one was following me and the came from the other way, Plod has got a new toy. Any ways home safe , Car went great oil pressure was really good with 5w 50 oil , Buy the bit paper in my hand it went a bit too good rained like a basstard all the way Let’s clarify something, did they wave you down to stop or did they turn around and follow you, did they actually write you a ticket, if so what was the wording.

Yeah I will clarify it for you 3 points and 385$ and Plod came from the other direction sirens lights going as I said thought they were After some one else and on seeing Plod in the distance the anchor was heaved out but too late "And he said we been following you for some time" Fu#k news to me.! When I saw them about 2ks down the road I was on the gas but pulled the ol girl up damn quick ,Plod also indicated it was me that they wanted stop. And every one knows Plod is always right. 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911rox Posted 12December, 2023 Report Share Posted 12December, 2023 My guess is radar in the bushes (like in Healesville) or chopper... Both techniques have been used down Great Ocean road way in the past. Radar was very common, they would sit high, get a reading or two and call ahead for the intercept. tomo and Yeatesy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted 12December, 2023 Author Report Share Posted 12December, 2023 Might Have been a radar I missed, fairly sure there was no chopper, But I was on un common length of road at the time but mostly grazing paddocks not unless they have Cow cam. 😉 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911rox Posted 12December, 2023 Report Share Posted 12December, 2023 On the bright side: (i) you had a good drive and (ii) it was a fine and not a suspension... Win Win! I've probably funded an actual police car over the years with fines and suspensions, lol Yeatesy and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,All great theories, But Plod did say " we have been following you for some now and your average speed has been blahblah" It's the following bit that confuses me. Just wondering if they have some new tech.? As you say probably camera /radar Plod mixed up the words, On the ticket there is some scribble followed by the no 85.

Looks like West Coast has pretty narrow disabled parking.........they are twice as wide up in the big smoke. Hope the knees are behaving themselves, driving is good for blood circulation! tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
