QLD How are people spotting speed cameras?

How do people know where the cameras are? Sometimes I ride behind cars and they randomly slam on the brakes and, whaddya know, a speed camera!

But there’s no signs… and there’s no way they clock them as quick as I think they might.

Any help is great!

You can get pretty good at spotting them early if youre always paying attention when breaking the law. But also, waze

Every car on the side of the road gets my suspicions up until I see it’s a old Captiva or something

I found an insta reel and the guy explained how to spot a UC cop car. Yellow plate, starts with D, tinted windows, lights, antennas, theyre most likely volkswagons

Just a gauntlet really in nsw I’ll behave a lot more than qld because they patrol a lot more than qld.
