Their greed is now absolute. Several months ago they increased the fines for driving unregistered/uninsured. Just happened to coincide with the introduction of these new number plate recognition cameras AND the abolition of registration labels. The obvious intention being to fine the people who neglect to renew their rego. A-holes!!! Just makes it a bit easier to forget seeing there is no label to show the expiry date.




Rocket.

I personally got hooked because the rego had expired on one of my cars, as a result of these cameras. ($800 or so) Yes, the fine hurt, but it's my fault, so I copped it on the chin. No point b1tching about it.

Another little issue about no rego labels. I work in the motor industry, which requires me driving someone elses car. Because there is no rego labels on cars, we have to get the customer to sign a piece of paper, allowing us to drive them. If we don't and the cars unregistered, we cop the fine .

So yes a PITA for everyone concerned, but even if you throw the tossers out of office as a result, the next lot isn't going to reverse the decision. (ie tax).
So we've just got to live with it

Yeah well... i have been actively trying to do that for several weeks with varying success. A couple of weeks ago i saw on the news that the speed camera would be positioned on main north rd para hills west the next day. Drove to work with one eye on the speedo. Wouldn`t you know it - the sneaky b@stards had the car backed right in behind the trees - very well hidden. You could not see it until you were right on it. 80k zone. Looked down and sure enough - doing 84klm/hr. Shyte! Still waiting to see if i receive fine number 3 for the month.

Try and keep your speedo under 50 or under 40 in the respective zones. Not easy. Take your eye off the speedo for a second or so and you are over.

Did i mention they are greedy a-hole SOB`s.

And no, i am not a maniac. Middle aged respectable citizen. Can`t wait to retire and get the hell out of this shytehole police state.
