They can't. No proper identification via the rider but mostly because the person sitting in the van isn't even a police officer. Pretty sure the only police identification they have are to access police stations and said related areas. If there is a copper with a radar gun well then your nicked
Not a good appearance by BQ at all, unless it was edited to look that way.
I haven't seen BQ do a good interview in god knows how long. They either seem like they/make cyclists look like they are better than everyone else or they just aren't saying enough....
I couldn't help but giggle quite a lot at that video. Riders at Southbank going 3 times the limit.... oooooooooooooooooooo. I do 3 times the limit just climbing up that bridge outside Griffith. For christ sake runners at 6am break that stupid speed limit! I hope Ch7 set up a camera on that Bridge on Waterworks road. It always keeps flashing at me to slow down for some reason despite freewheeling from the kink before the school. God knows why its a 40kph limit while the outbound lanes are 60
And lol at those guys trying to set off the camera. I remember trying to do that back in High School (before I was even legally allowed to drive) on my BMX god knows how many times. I remember that I even considered kitting up in full moto gear and trying to set some off. Boys will be boys
