I was walking along St Kilda Rd this morning and saw a chick on a bike being issued a ticket by a motorcycle police officer. She had been pulled over right in front of the Melburnian and I can only assume that she turned left into the St Kilda Rd bike lane from the side street next the the Melburnian and failed to stop at the stop sign. I was hoping that she might get caught at the lights near the Arts Centre so that I could ask her what she got booked for but I lucked out.
Anyone in here know who she is and what she was booked for??

There's been a bit of a ``crackdown'' in the CBD recently. I had a gal come into work who'd been booked in the CBD for rolling over the line while stoped at a red light.
And one of the no helmet loonies I know has been booked 3 times in the last month!
Cheers

Well I hope there's a "crackdown" on all the _hundreds_ of motorists who do the same thing every day!! Not to mention the _thousands of 'right-turn red' runners_ all over the city, every day!!

Just like the crackdown along St Kilda Rd before/during/after the Comms Games last year.

and the pedestrians crossing against the light at every intersection and pedestrian crossing in the CBD. Especially @ Flinders Street Station.

Yes everybody who breaks every law should be booked everytime (not just having a go at you here Phillip). And we should have a police force of 100,000 to achieve this. Or they can do the various blitzes to raise some of these things in the public consciousness and hopefully the message sticks.

What! The police treat motorist and bicyclist equally!

Good Lord no. There's much more money to be made from motorists, and you don't need any expensive personal interaction. Flash for cash and your points are in the mail.
They actually have to stop and talk to a cyclist, handwrite a ticket, get the details entered into the computer back in the office. How inefficient is that?

Bicycle registration and numberplates is the obvious answer, but how to mount the front one for forward facing speed cameras?

When I was a teenager I paid rego, 2/6 or 25 cents in todays terminology, more than a week's pocket money. The single plate was mounted on the crossbar. The only cameras around were Box Brownies.

Did you have to stand still for a few seconds so the speed camera shots wouldn't be blurry?

You don't remember amphometers?

Are they those things they used to lay at fixed distances across the road?

Yup, they had to divert the traffic for a half hour while they set them up. Before that you had a copper in the witness box who would say "Your Honour, I estimated the defendant's speed to be 82 mph, based on my 22 years of guessing this stuff".
