Default New vehicle warning

I dont know whether this is old news or not, its not to me anyways, while driving, Ive always kept an eye out for speed traps...whether this be seeing the camera, the yellow sign, or even that white car thats always next to them..... those days are gone, passed a camera today, and its the 2nd time ive seen this, they are now also using silver 4WD (-I think its either a Toyota or Nissan)
but yeah, looks like the they have changed some of the cars they are using, so if you rely on spotting a white vehicle on the side of the road, watch out.

I have had my licence for 5 years now and I only have one fine for going 8kph over in a 60 zone.

Since then I always use my peripheral vision to keep an eye on what happening on the side of the road further up. Passed by many speed cameras and since then not one ticket.

I always slow down when I see something out of the ordinary on the side of the road.

theyve been using them for over the last year or two now, just so happens the majority of them happen to be white mazdas. I;ve seen them in commodores too.

Get a radar and keep your eyes on the road instead

If you drive on the same roads all the time you get used to where they put the cameras anyway. So you know where to slow down. So I guess just drive the speed limit on roads you've never been on before. ah...! what am i saying? thats so boring!!!!
