Hello fellow motorists
Well Friday 28th Jan was my first day this year "on station" at the school zone at kogarah and I must admit I did feel a bit foolish crossing the road in my santa suit to get to my spot.
But after I easily managed to slow traffic down to the legal 40 klm, something that the RTA with all their signs ,road markings and speed cameras has trouble doing,I felt a lot less self conscious.
Slowing the cars down made it so much safer for the children.
By coincidence there was a photographer there from the telegrah and a camera man from channel 10.
Although they both did use me,they were there not for School zone santa, but because these are the biggest money making speed cameras in NSW ($6.5 million in 12 months, 2003/2004)and to see mutiple camera flashs with cars and their unsuspecting drivers in the foreground always makes a news filler.
Back on Monday,unless the RTA installs "flashing lights"over the weekend.
