Point-to point cameras. A new threat!

[Donunder]

Oops, my mistake. Sorry to all NSW people.
These cameras are on the Hume apparently, but not (or should that be --not yet?) on the M7.
I saw a letter on this subject in a magazine recently and fired off a post without doing the necessary research.
I googled "NSW M7 point to point cameras", and the whole BS hoax was revealed. Let's hope it remains a hoax in those states where the relentless revenue grabbing hasn't quite reached the depths the poor Victorians have to suffer.
Apologies. Back to a two day trip to the Nats!

Don.

Still you have to remember that there are 13 fixed speed cameras between Surfers and Sydney on the trip south.

Got done a while back doing 69 kph in a 70 kph zone and queried the fine and it was droped. Tke csmera opperator should have twiged that something was wrong as he must have been getting every one that passed his camera. I wonder how many just payed up without thinking about the fine. Hope he got his a$$ kicked.

Here is my letter of protest, Herd nothing more about it.

To Whom It May Concern:
Re Penalty notice Obligation No 0513876043
We wish to dispute this penalty notice as no offence took place at the time date and place as listed on the penalty notice.
As we are regular travellers of this rout we are well aware of the speed limits through the town of Trafalgar in Victoria.
This is a four lane highway with two lanes going east and two lanes going west.
At 8:58am on the day in question we were travelling east towards Taralgon where the speed limits go from 110kph down to 80kph then down to 70kph then up to 90kph then back to 110kph at no time along that road through Trafalgar does the speed limit drop below 70kph in the east bound lanes.

However the speed limit does drop to 60kph through the town of Trafalgar in the westerly direction heading toward Melbourne.
Maybe your camera operator was not aware that the speed limits are different on the east and west sides of the highway.
I have videoed the road clearly showing the posted speed limit signs and will present this as evidence to the magistrate should this matter have to go to court.
Hoping this matter can be resolved without any further aggravation,
Yours truly,

Bryan Wilson

I just want to scream!!!! You are absolutely right, there were probably hundreds of people who just paid the fine without a second thought. Perhaps they thought it said they were doing 79 in a 70 zone and just thought it was a typo.... there are lots of people out there who "wouldn't want to fuss about it" and would just pay anything....

I wonder how many hunderds of thousands of dollars the respective governments make out of these so called "mistakes"????

I reckon I got done tonight on the way home from work. Went through an intersection (that I go through everyday by the way) and was day dreaming and I saw 2 flashes in my rear vision mirror.

I reckon 70 in a 60 zone 2 points and lots of $$. sucks. Just had to tell someone.
