| Cops hiding spots
Hey guys, I got pulled over about a week ago on Blanshard and ticketed for driving 18 km/h on top off the speed limit.. i was going with the traffic flow at around 2 pm.
The cars in front of me were driving a little faster then I was, but they didn't get pulled over. My friends said I got pulled over because my car kindda sticks out in the traffic (black on chrome)..
Anyways, in this thread I just want to know if you guys know more spots where the cops usually hide with the speed gun.
Here are the spots where I usually see them at:
- In the middle of the highway 17 (trying to get both side of the road)
- On Douglas at the Ford Suburban Highway (At late night)
- On Blandshard (from downtown towards walmart at the light before mayfair mall),this is where I got the ticket..
I know that we shouldn't speed. But I think this would be a good heads up to avoid getting a stupid ticket like I did..
So if you know more spots, please post them..

I've noticed they're being lazy/always using the same spots as much anymore on the highway, and they're getting much more creative (hiding behind posts on the overpass etc..)

i drive the 17 everyday to work from victoria for the last 6 years
typical places i will see cops north bound..
-in front of police/ fire station .where vernon becomes patbay
-center divider where mckenzie merges on
-quadra over pass
south bound.
-royal oak overpass , this one is sneaky and very frequent.
-center divider , after you pass the mckenzie overpass

Sometimes I see one or two hiding in the Telus parking lot at Quadra Mckenzie looking for speeders / yellow light runners.

Its victoria, you'd get a ticket going 5 km/h over the limit. Theres no crime for them to fight.

One of the best cop hiding places is right out in the open, in a mundane unmarked vehicle! I got busted while going 100 in a 60 zone. Fortunately, he was a nice guy and let me off with a warning!
