College of Surgeons trauma committee chairman Dr John Crozier­ says all that needs for this to happen is the turning of a switch.

The cameras work by measuring the time it takes to drive between two points and then calculating the average speed of the vehicle. If that’s higher than the speed limit for the length of road, the driver will cop a bluey in the mail for speeding.

But, taking the highway cameras just out of Bathurst between Raglan and Meadow Flat as an example, 30 seconds would be the difference between being booked for speeding or getting through on time.

The cameras are 25km apart and with an average of 100km/h, which is the speed limit on that section of road, the time allowed would be 15 minutes. If your elapsed time is only 30 seconds quicker, taking 14 minutes 30 seconds, your average speed jumps to nearly 104km/h and you’re busted.

Cover the distance 30 seconds slower in 15 minutes 30 seconds and your average drops back to a smidgen over 96kmh, meaning you’re safe. Sixty seconds slower and your average drops to 94km/h.

The TrainLink bus does it just under 17 minutes which is a 90km/h average but only two minutes faster would put it over 100km/h. Driving a modern car at normal highway speeds while trying to keep your average on time to within a 30-second window would be like driving a stage in a timed car rally. You can imagine heading off to Sydney with a stopwatch or rally computer to comply with these things!

The Macquarie Dictionary's word of the year is milkshake duck, defined as a person or thing that’s seemingly innocent but then found to be questionable.

Maybe a football star who’s briefly idolised on the internet but

brought down when it’s discovered he’s in trouble with the cops. So, have we any milkshake ducks in Orange?

Also being used as a verb, what about the never-ending saga of the long-awaited public toilets in Robertson Park the council promoted with several flash designs but then milkshake ducked both proposals for being too expensive. And there’s the airport industrial site. A promise of 600-plus jobs being generated but milkshake ducked by the new council after intense lobbying by Spring Hill people.

It’s certainly a word that fits here.

Emojis were used in 2.3 trillion mobile messages last year with the number one spot going to the tears of joy emoji with the red heart and loudly crying face rounding out the top three.

And dozens of new emoji are planned this year including a redhead, kangaroo and a bagel.

Orange should hop on the wagon and become the first town in the world to have its own emoji to spell out our sentiments.

Because we’re the roundabout capital of Australia, probably the world, one of the emoji could be a roundabout.

A cow sitting on a zebra crossing would represent the straggling pedestrians on the Anson St crossing while a train with bits falling off would be a link to our worn-out XPTs that we want the government to replace.

So just think of the publicity our own emoji could generate for us.
