Hi all,

is this a mobile speed camera system...? or is this a team of traffic cops that pull u over to check ur vehicle...?

Thanks

Aa ha!

Vehicle & Operator Services Agency

I just called the local police station

...and they told me.. it's not a mobile speed trap.. it's basically spot checks on vehicles to check their road-worthiness.
