I also agree... more emphasis on Driver Training and less on Revenue Raising

I've not done the sums on this and it is a purely Victorian domestic matter.

As you have concerns and genuine fears about this, why not take the time to 'write' (not email) a letter outlining them and asking that he address those concerns.

I am serious here, do so.

I note from my recent request for donation from the Bracks Roadside Cash Register Department that the tolerance has been quietly reduced to 2 km/h so that it now matches the margin of error allowed by a hand held unit operated by a roadside collector.

So obviosuly they do listen after receiving complaints about the anomaly - and in their usual generous fashion they decided to drop the higher one to the lower rather than the other way round.

I just feel so special living in such a caring State, where my duly elected representatives care about my well being so much, that it brings a tear to my eyes and I get all emotional.

Oh, Bracksy is gone now, for GOOD. Having been done by a speed camera on Sat night at the bottom of the hill where i believe i wouldnt have not been more than perhaps 3-4km/h over the limit is the last straw.

To make matters worse, i found out they have made it legal to place the cameras on the base of hills, which is absolute bullsh1t.

How else can they keep the revenue flowing? Its theft, there is no other excuse, simple theft.

I'm with you Fairmont - Doyle must continue on this and develop more open,'smart' allowances, the dead serious bull-ИИИИ that comes out of Victoria is appalling, neigh - a national embarrassment, and I get to fend much of it off here in NSW.

bracksy IS a national embarassment, he has a 1 track mind- REVENUE, the australian standard for speedo accuracy is +/- 10% and thats straight out of the factory! so when my XD is now 27 years old and i dont think ford would have been too worried back then about accuracy, some could be 10 or even 15 % out, that, to me is scary...being a p-plater with only 5 points.
im gonna do my best to send bracksy into his $100,000 a year retirement this year.

But since we have no unions left, if we don't kick up a fuss, government will continue to walk over us.
Party can only get rid of someone if someone capable steps to the plate. If there is anyone capable, they may be wiser to wait in the wings until his party actually has a chance at the polls.

Libs are far more anti union.

Hidden cameras are revenue raisers without doubt, the state under the old libs sold off its sources of revenue (SEC, G&F etc).

Yeah this other guy is your answer.
