Oi!!  Speeders  NO!!!!!


Some times you can catch some really irresponsible people out on the river,   this area has a 8kt limit and plenty of canoes and paddle boards use the area,   I missed carching him pass the paddle boards due to his speed.


Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

Inconsiderate behaviour
You need a Number Plate recognition camera on the drone (ANPR)

Remarkable shot DA.    Gives a great perspective of the area.  Shame about the speeder.  We have our share over here also.  It takes an accident for boat speeders to figure out they can't stop as fast in a boat as a car does.  I do love it when the Marine Patrol is out and writing tickets.  I'm told it is a considerable fine and large enough to ruin the boaters day out on the water.

Not to mention the potential erosion damage from the wake hitting the banks. Thanks for sharing this image.

They teach paddle boarding and canoeing up that small piece of creek,   can you imagine If he came round the corner and found 12 paddle boarders there.

That small section is often used to teach canoes and paddle boarders,   Im sure he would struggle to stop if he came round the corner and found a group of them there.

Doesn't bear thinking about. Can he be reported? And to whom?  The River Police?

You can only hope he got it irretrievably stuck on a mud-bank

And cracked the hull in the process,   maybe he found the small bridge he was speeding towards and hit it.

No doubt about that becoming dangerous really quickly.  Powered boats can't stop fast and canoes can't get out of the way quickly, definitely a disaster just waiting to happen.

It gets quite narrow up there so hopefully he broke his boat on something.

Good picture, bad behaviour. While I do like the feeling of acceleration and going fast, I do realize there are times and occasions where there is no place for that.

Absolutely HGDC84.    He was so close the main river he would have had a lot more room there for it.

Sometimes I can't help but just wonder how lazy people can be. Such as not going to that wider river or not taking their trash to a trashbin that is located almost next to them. What once infuriated me was that a group of teens threw their empty soda and energy drink cans on a floor of a shopping mall, instead of taking them to a bottle and can recycling machine located in the same shopping mall, located practically on the very same corridor they were. They would have even received money for it, as in Finland those who return the empty bottles and cans to the machine are paid a bottle deposit through a receipt they can claim at the cash registers for money.

I did give them a couple of chosen words for feedback

Yes, it's a very good incentive for making people recycle more. I think this system should be broadened to other kinds of recyclable items too. Could help the littering problem. :-)

We are quite lucky here as the council will collect bottles,  plastic, metal etc for recycling. Its the soft plastics that are not really being dealt with yet.
