delight of having their every move watched by the Safe-T-Corn system. Similar to the UK's SPECS speed cameras but rather more inquisitive, SafeT-Cam automatically monitors truck journey times and checks for valid road tax. Exceed your minimum allowable time by as little as two minutes and the full machinery of the law grinds into action. Penalties start with a warning letter that you're being watched and the imposition of penalty points—four transgressions in three years and you're off NSW roads. Our Aussie churns are not taking this lying down, however. Tactics to avoid detection include tailgating to hide registration plates, driving without lights and passing the cameras on the opposite carriageway or hard shoulder. However, many off these tactics are futile, as the cameras are now good enough to identify offenders through the pattern of stone chips on air cleaners and even the shape of exhaust stains on bodywork. Next time you feel harassed by the cameras on the A68, remember there's always someone worse off.
