I disagree with the "speed camera don't stop people speeding" arguement.
When I first got my license I tended to go over the limit a fair bit. After 2 years driving I had lost about 6 points, I was driving down south one long weekend (double demerits) and got flashed doing 90 in what I thought was a 60 zone and quickly realised that I might well have just lost my license. I turned out to be an 80 zone and I was doing 89, so I kept my license and haven't had a ticket since (I still speed when overtaking on a country road, but that is about it). As an aside, they have started putting "Are you speeding?" signs in front of camera around Perth. They still hide the cameras, and they put the signs up where there aren't camera, obviously a cheap way to get people to slow down a bit. |
