I love people who just walk onto Pedestrian Crossings as if they have a right to expect traffic to instantly stop.

There is no privacy in public. Rear facing cameras work very well for obvious reasons.
Photo evidence is very well received and yes it does have gps, speed, time and date, and in colour. The lens is separated from the recorder with a mini sd. Great investment for public minded persons.
Police are always calling for dash cam evidence of collisions or red light runners. You need to get yourself one.

Bazz, as I said, different states, different laws, unfortunately it causes no end of trouble and egregious expense.
Spare a thought for the poor trucky or East/West drivers.
Issy, oh I love them, and then you have to sit there while they go into a raving rant frenzy, along with all the expletives.
I got out of the car to shirt front this Richard cranium once, many years ago.
He ran away.
Go figure?
For those of you who suffer negative emotions at the thought or sight of someone driving a Rolls or Bentley, DON'T!
Years ago this drunken, possibly homeless guy, stumbles onto the road, I'm driving one of my Rollers, had to brake very hard and quick to avoid hitting him.
In hindsight, I wish I had.
As he's slowly making his way across the road directly in front of me, he gets to the curb, turns around and spits at me/the car luckily it had no legs, so it never made it to the car.
I was that angry, as soon as I could turn around, I did, with the intent of bowling this piece of sh!t over.
In hindsight, it was lucky for me, he disappeared down some alley or hole or whatever.
So yes, it has always amazed me as to the mentality and cognisant ability of the lawmakers, when they politicise laws instead of using logic.
I've always maintained and still stand by the belief that, the road is for cars, and cars take priority whilst on them.
Footpaths are for people and any other form of mobility and so the people are the priority, and cars give way to them.
That not only seems fair, but also logical.

Altrav,

There is some hope, but not much.

From the NSW Rules for Pedestrians

"236
Pedestrians not to cause a traffic hazard or obstruction
(1) A pedestrian must not cause a traffic hazard by moving into the path of a driver.
Maximum penalty—20 penalty units."

I've driven a few Rolls over the years, once drove a twenty's Phantom 1 tourer from Sydney to Melbourne on a delivery trip, marvellous car and top gear all the way, except for one or two hills when I selected third as a precaution

I regularly drive a London-Edinborough model in India when I visit my Muslim Mate, his father was a sporting driver and bought it in the twenties from another Maharajah.
My mate keeps it for me to use, so in a way it's "My Car"!!

Issy, good for you, and lucky you!

Come on Paul, now you are getting insulting.

150km/hr indeed. I don't use those puny European things, it is MILES/hour, & miles only for me.

The last time I was knowingly timed it was only 130 Miles/Hour down Conrod in the Holden Dealers Team Monaro in 1968.

A little earlier that year it was 180 Miles/Hour over the same flying eighth in the Formula 1 Brabham Repco.

Having driven some real cars, I'm not interested in driving a bit over the road speed limits, I just want to be allowed to make reasonable progress, however Kilometers/Hour humph, beneath my dignity.
