You shouldn't be able to get away with doing 100 in 50 zones I've seen a marked police car flooring it in a suburban street last time we had long weekend double demerit they shouldn't get away doing 100km/h because it's dangerous or because u wouldn't dare doing it urself? 100km/h in 50 (suburban) zone is a bit over the top as 100km/h with people around is a bit dangerous, but this is what's going to happen if you have 50km/h limit on main roads, and people will get away with it, u know they would HA ! ! About three weeks ago I saw a squad car (marked SS, lights flashing admittedly) doing 120km/h ish in heavy traffic, just after dark on Burwood Road, Glenferrie. Traffic was doing 10-40km/h, teh cop was trying to go straight up the middle of the road, pedestrians everywhere. Brake discs glowing RED HOT ! ! I've seen/heard of "hoons" doing stupid stuff, but this was so far beyond a reasonable, risk-taking way to drive it literally dropped my jaw. There'd better have been MULTIPLE lives on the line, coz this dud was putting numerous other motorists AND pedstrians in mortal danger - driving at oncoming traffic and hoping they'll squeeze out of the way. The discs were a dull cherry red BEFORE they had to nearly stop right in front of me (I was a ped on teh sidewalk) - the groan as they started GLOWING was louder than the traffic noise, and I know how far you've got to push commo brakes to get that noise at that volume - I can assure you this guy had NOTHING left!! AND I GET FINED for cruising 20km/h over the limit on a deserted 2-lane dual-carriage highway on a crystal clear night??? I don't care WHAT training they get - flashing lights aren't a freakin' halo of invincibility ! It just takes one car to change lanes without checking their mirrors properly, and BINGO! Carnage . .
