Are speed cameras out of control

Now that is nothing more than a revenue getter. I'll prepared to be convinced otherwise.......

There was a motorist lobby to change the speed to 110kph and the Government Minister argued that it would be dangerous - read we would miss out on fines/income.

The Australian Design Rules allow for a 10% variation in speedometers, yet the Governmenet gives f@*ck all variation other than the 3% due to camera error. Now you see it is only revenue raising.

Mmmm don't me get me started on the fuel tax..

And just thinking about Cops/Police there will not be too many left in Victoria after this current Chief Commissioner finishes.....

Cheers

I would like to take this opportunity of thanking Victoria for taking Christine Nixon off us.

About the only thing she done of note while she was here was to permit the gay and lesbian police to march in the Gay Mardi Gras whilst they were on duty. What an initiative.

I wonder if she has made an arrest since she's been in Victoria because she never made one in NSW.

Thanks again Victoria and we don't want her back.
