- 0:31Speaker 2: like I don't the roads were just a tiny bit
- 0:35Speaker 2: slippery because it had been you know.
- 0:37Speaker 3: A little drizzly, and it's just.

- 0:43Speaker 2: What's all the silly cliches about better late than you
- 0:46Speaker 2: know late.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Better than what was better than five minutes late than
- 0:50Speaker 1: dead on time? Exactly exactly, that is how the saying goes.
- 0:54Speaker 2: So the number of drivers caught speeding on our freeways
- 0:56Speaker 2: has more than trebled in the past year, despite but
- 1:00Speaker 2: road safety warnings as the state's horror road toll climbs.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Now we've all seen on Perth now and other you
- 1:07Speaker 2: know local sites. How every day there seems to be oh,
- 1:11Speaker 2: you know, this bit of the Mitchell's closed because there's
- 1:13Speaker 2: been an accident.
- 1:14Speaker 1: All this closed.
- 1:16Speaker 3: It seems to be a daily occurrence.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Now it's it's either that these these people are out
- 1:22Speaker 2: there reporting on it, because then you know they're constantly
- 1:24Speaker 2: reporting on something, or it is happening more because it's nuts.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Well, they're putting us so many more cameras in, like
- 1:31Speaker 1: the fixed cameras, because at the time that you and
- 1:35Speaker 1: I are coming in, Yes, I'm seeing a lot of speeding.
- 1:39Speaker 3: You do you are on the freeway.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I am on the freeway, and there's a lot of
- 1:42Speaker 1: people who are obviously late for the job.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Yes, at that time of the morning.
- 1:48Speaker 1: They've got to make the airport. Yeah, there's a lot
- 1:50Speaker 1: of that. And of course they think, well there's not
- 1:52Speaker 1: there's not a lot of coppers around, and they don't
- 1:54Speaker 1: have the you know, the little white van with the
- 1:58Speaker 1: tint window that is parked facing backwards towards coming traffic.
- 2:03Speaker 3: I've been done by the white van before where you
- 2:06Speaker 3: least expected. But y's a lot of fixed cameras now.
- 2:08Speaker 1: New one on the Mitchell just I think at the
- 2:11Speaker 1: Vincent Street exit now.
- 2:13Speaker 2: And even though you know in the back of your
- 2:15Speaker 2: mind they're there, you do forget.
- 2:18Speaker 1: I don't, don't you?
- 2:19Speaker 3: Well these not that one obviously.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Do I know that that one's still fresh in my mind.
- 2:23Speaker 2: So one one hundred and fourteen, four hundred and eighty
- 2:27Speaker 2: three drivers were captured going above the limit over the
- 2:31Speaker 2: past year, sixteen percent more than the twelve months prior.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Yep, that's that's a lot.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Well, they're just able to catch them because they're running
- 2:39Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day and they're getting them for
- 2:41Speaker 1: all sorts of things seat belts, mobile phones. This is
- 2:44Speaker 1: the thing that unlike the little white van, this camera
- 2:47Speaker 1: can see everything. Yeah, yeah, you can see everything. What
- 2:52Speaker 1: do you think, what do I think? Yeah? Are you
- 2:54Speaker 1: for them?
- 2:55Speaker 3: I think the cameras.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Yeah, the fixed cameras, the II cameras.
- 2:59Speaker 2: As long as they work right, because you know, you've
- 3:02Speaker 2: said a WoT of these cases where people have got
- 3:04Speaker 2: their seat belt on and the camera just doesn't quite
- 3:07Speaker 2: see what is, you know, in front of their face.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Just it has to be correct.
- 3:13Speaker 1: The speeding one has, I guess it's hard to deny
- 3:15Speaker 1: though when that. You know, if you're flying through at
- 3:18Speaker 1: twenty k's over the speed limit and it catches you,
- 3:22Speaker 1: you know you want to you want to roll the dice. Baby.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Do you think the speed limit is too low?
- 3:30Speaker 1: Do you get a hundred on the freeways?
- 3:31Speaker 3: We will go a bit faster.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I think one hundred on the freeway is fine.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yeah, don't think we could do maybe one hundred and ten,
- 3:38Speaker 2: not through not through the narrows.
- 3:40Speaker 1: But not true.
- 3:43Speaker 3: But maybe you know, I mean.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Our cars are are well equipped for well some are.
- 3:48Speaker 3: But the thing is, as long as everyone.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Drives yours does everything I do.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I do think that the biggest problem on the road
- 3:55Speaker 2: is distraction more than I think distraction.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Is the worst, which is why they can after me checking.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Your mobile phone even I just mean just being away
- 4:03Speaker 2: with the you know, wow, that's.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Just personal retractsibility. I mean, you get behind the wheel,
- 4:08Speaker 1: you've got to concentrate. And this talk not in this
- 4:12Speaker 1: article that we're reading here, but I heard some talk
- 4:14Speaker 1: that they were thinking of putting these AI cameras in
- 4:17Speaker 1: school zones as well, because I see a lot of
- 4:20Speaker 1: clowns going through school zone.
- 4:23Speaker 3: School zones around me.
- 4:24Speaker 1: They really get under my skin.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Quite a few school zones around me, and everyone does
- 4:29Speaker 2: seem to do the right.
- 4:30Speaker 1: You obviously live in a far far better area than
- 4:32Speaker 1: I actually, so I have no sympathy for them.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Sympathy for those those people.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Slow down kids around and all that kind of stuff. Yea.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Anyway, careful on the freeway this morning, Yes, because you're not.
- 4:47Speaker 2: You're sharing it with a lot of other people. That's
- 4:49Speaker 2: rus is also the thing, don't be selfish.
- 4:52Speaker 1: And if you are going to go slow
- 4:55Speaker 3: Slow either, that's that could be just aft.
