just got home today after spending easter in gympie, have seen that qld unfortunately had 7 people killed over the easter period. now like many of you, i heard all week in the lead up to easter about the "BLITZ" the police were going to have on the roads over the easter period.
my question is, why is it when i leave brisbane on thursday afternoon at 2.45 p.m from the southside of brisbane, and drive the 200 klms north to gympie, why did i only see one speed camera in the entire trip (not including the fixed camera at burpengary). i did see a highway patrol car and 2 police bikes parked in a service station as i drove into gympie, it was dinner time so i assume thats what they were there for, but surely i should see more of a police presence on a trip of that distance on that first arvo of the easter break.
last year i did the same trip leaving brisbane at 7.00 p.m on the thursday night and didn't see any police about either. is this police blitz just a media beat up or what?
