Seen many coppers?

I never see many around were i live even when double demerits rolls around.
I only ever see the regular patrols by the paddie wagons but its rare to see speed traps here in Newy. The breath testing is usually in the same spots.
I suppose its different to Sydney.

In 3rd?
it would be revving pretty high and definatly using teh fuel.
i keep the revs as low as possible.
3rd has always been for me 40kmh, then 4th is 50kmh, then 5th is 50-60kmh. That the lowest i run in each gear. but thats on a flat road.

saw many cops last night.... at one service station (kariong) i was filling up fuel, one marked cop car was there and the cops were having a chat, another marked cop car pulled up shortly afterwards and parked and started having a chat, and then an unmarked cop car pulled up and started filling up fuel too!
all in a few minutes!
They were all XR8 series II as well... not a bad looking car really

hehe, crusing along the m4 today (working on a sunday, what is the world coming to?!?) I saw some tool in a ute lose half his license at the fixed speed cameras there. also saw no fewer than 4 cop cars during my travels today (including a lot of bikes, I think today and yesterday I've seen more cop bikes than the rest of my life put together)

The boys in blue have had the radar out on my street every day of the double-demerits so far (though I haven't checked today).
So if you're driving on Vardy's rd, be careful!
