subject: Is it Legal ?

Brenton, at 23:54 on Wed, Mar 22 1995, you wrote to Bill Grimsley ...

BG> Dunno about NSW, but up here it's illegal to do that (as one 
BG> local station found to their dismay a couple of years ago).

BV> I was quite stunned when I heard it. Sure is a good way to 
BV> increase the ratings though :)

Sure is (until they're put off air, of course).

BV> Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it an offence for a driver of a vehicle 
BV> to warn another vehicle that there is a speed trap ahead?

BG> Yep, but it's not an offence to "test" your headlights occasionally.

BV> Yeah, but I don't think I'd bother with that line. I'd just cop it.

Why cop a fine when you can just as easily tell him to FOAD though?

BV> FWIW, I will warn on-coming traffic if there is a radar trap in their 
BV> direction of traffic flow, but I won't warn them if it is a RBT.

Yeah, same here.  I hate revenue-raising radar traps, but not quite as much
as I absolutely loathe drunk drivers, the cunts.  NFSE.

BG> There is a pub on the Cunningham Hwy at Goodna, ..[chomp]..
BG> Took the coppers ages to suss that one out too.  |-)

BV> I like that. I'll bet it did wonders for his patronage too :)

It's been the busiest pub in that area for years.  Can't imagine why.  |-)

BV> BTW, it's been a long time since I've listened to Mike Carlton.
BV> Boy, is he one _sick_ puppy :)

BG> Was he still pissed?

BV> Sounded sober to me.

With Mike Carlton, that means very little.  |-)

Regards, Bill
