Drove from Byron to Sydney yesterday, first day of the NSW school holidays - roads were moving OK but Highway Patrol was everywhere. I’d estimate I saw around 30 marked cars, some hiding in the shadows. I might well have missed a few better hidden, and unmarked.

In addition, one of those cars was a Volvo XC60 - silver with a light bar, but without the fluoro markings, just the blue badging down the side. Technically marked, but not easy to spot, spotted around Hexham.

Trip not helped by speed limit changing frequently for roadworks.

Use cruise control, and keep ‘em peeled!

And double demerits from midnight Thursday. I was thinking of taking the bike up north but being on Ps I’m restricted to 90. I like to think that’d be unlikely to flag and I could sit at 110 but not sure if that’s misplaced confidence.

And it’ll be fking hot.
I’d not chance it.

Watch for roadworks. The Pac Hwy upgrades mean there are so many roadwork zones, some down to 60 or even 40 if crews are close to the traffic.

Oh, and have a fun trip!

Also worth remembering that in NSW the point-to-point speed cameras are for >4.5t only...

Anyway, made it past a load of hidden HWP and other cameras for another couple of fun laps - had the Lib and the Golf this time...
