Hi all...
My girlfriend has just came back from a return drive to Melbourne - from Perth. It was a good drive she reckons, until we received a speed camera fine yesterday. The fine is $146.00 for doing 106km in a 100km zone. It was on Dadswells Bridge. I cant believe the penalty for this! In W.A a patrol car will just flash it lights if you are over the limit by under 10km/h. And its only a $50 fine if done by a camera. I'm surprised that you Victorians even have a licence at all with such harsh penalties! What would the fine be if she was doing over the 10km's??? A speed measuring device has a tolerance of -/+ 3km, according to Australian tests Ive read on the net. Add this 3km/h figure difference to a speedometer which could be out at least 4km/h and your done for speeding! I cant believe you Victorians are even still on the road!!! - Poor Buggers.
