That may be so.. and I in no way condone illegal or dangerous public speeding.. but 400m, hiding behind a bridge? They aren't trying to save lives.. they are trying to raise money.
If they were trying to save lives and get people to slow down, they would do what NSW has done.. fixed speed cameras with 3 warning signs. Anyone who does get caught.. wasn't paying enough attention and shouldn't be speeding anyway or.. was going *WAAAY* too fast and couldn't slow down in time.. either way, they deserve a ticket.
A more effective way to slow people down is to have fixed radars that fire away randomly all over dangerous and hot spots.. that way people with radar detectors will slow down.. and usually they are the ones speeding. You would have to randomise it though so that people don't just ignore them
Just my thoughts anyway...
