Speed cameras arent for revenue

"dont speed and you wont pay the fine"....right.... I better not see you whining about getting a fine on that day you happen to concentrate more on the road than your speedo.

Yet another of the brainwashed masses.

Agreed. It's getting beyond a joke at how many people say "don't speed and you won't get caught", but then they suddenly forget about the dozens of cases where 1000s of motorists were doing the correct speed limit but got pinged because the cameras were faulty. Several high profile cases only came to light after many people complained. The Government kept saying the cameras were fine. It's a shame that it comes to that when you were clearly in the right.

Then the company I work for must think they are a government department. Idiots get promoted out of the way into high paying positions with company cars and if you are actually good at your job or care you get everything dumped on you till you get so annoyed you leave.
I'm sure my company must get some sort of government incentive to hire people who have an IQ smaller than their show size.
Or maybe its just a Perth thing.

You don't happen to work for EnergyAustralia do you??


Whats going to happen when everyone gives up smoking because they can't afford to, or its become "illegal" to do so, taxes on everything else will go through the roof

Would like to find out the breakdown of drivers caught in these speed cameras as far as young blokes hooning past them, not realising they are there, or older drivers that have crept over by a couple of klms, thats how i was done one night going home from tafe, with me brain still overloaded from the class, normally at this speed camera people slow down just before and speed up after it, so to me its only reducing the speed on this road for about 200 metres. On another topic in this thread about driver education, to me this has to come from the home, these advanced driver courses encourage younger drivers to be better than the rest, have one of them at my work leaving rubber out the driveway every second day, lucky its in an industrial area so no kids get run down, finally i think kevins not there for the dough his misses is not short of a quid, its the glory, his side kicks maybe.
