Probably had a patrol car waiting down the road to pull people over (not that I know the roads in Adelaide).

Might be a blitz on at that part of town at the moment.
Bloke I work with said his wife watched a plod lurking on foot at brighton rd/jetty road lights watching drivers stopped at the intersection. Plenty of drivers got a tap on the window from plod & directed offendors to park around corner. The offendors were then fined for used their mobile fones.

If there is bushland nearby they may be targeting speeding and unregistered off road bikes. Seen this in WA some years ago; chasing kids on unregistered trail bikes in bushland and adjacent cycle paths on hired quads.

No nothing like that there.

Was it a 'marked' quad?
I remember about 8 years back seeing the driver of a Merc get pulled over on King William St for talking on his mobile - pulled over by a dark blue road-trail bike with dark LEDs that blended into the rest of the bike and could only be seen when lit up. |

I saw a green P plater in a shagged out Nissen Ute punt an M6 Bimmer up the kyber this morning, but that was in Brisbane.

Shire officers with cameras on quad bikes doing footpath surveys perhaps.
