Yesterday I went for a bike ride and noticed a policeman standing behind a police car with a speed gun. They were parked at the bus stop on Reynolds Road near Blackburn Road Templestowe.
The problem I see with this approach is the police were checking speeding drivers on a very hilly road at the bottom of a long hill. A spot that would be incredibly easy for people to exceed the speed limit by a small amount for a short period of time.
I can't help feeling this form of policing our roads won't be well accepted by the general public.
I recall a time when it was suggested people weren't booked in such places (going down hills) but it appears those times have passed.
