Imagine if Victoria had the latest and greatest in speeding camera technology, .000000000000000000001 over the speed limit and thats 12 demerrit points, car taken for 3 months and house burned down.

And yeah, the nanny state is a joke for speed camera's. We get shafted by cops spending hours waiting to catch someone speed but do basically nothing about the multitude of people getting stabbed or bashed every week. |

I drove around the country in 2005 and couldn't believe the number of fixed camera's that had 2 or 3 big warning signs that they were ahead and yet following a few cars in different spots I was amazed at how many people still got done.

Apparently he was doing 120 in a 90 zone in a 35 y.o landcruiser towing 2 tonne of furniture. No fines in 30 years... They just say pay it or else.

ok that was ADR18/00, the 10% rule from which was superceeded by ADR18/03 in 2006 apparently, see page 2:
http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/rsc...nstruments.pdf so they are made by law to over-read only now, by up to a theoretical 16km/h at an indicated 100! crazy. it's an interesting read, but make sure you put on your pyjamas before attempting it.

Another reason why Vic needs to be isolated from the rest of Australia.
Next step in the Vic road safety plan is you’ll need a induction and be VOC’d for the car you’re driving and need a JHA & Take 5 for the journey hahaha

Thanks for supporting my argument Prof!
If you get caught speeding in Victoria then you deserve it, if you believe you don't deserve it, then take it to Court, not the Ford Forums. _2:

What if she was doing 99 in a 100 zone, but the speedo is out 10% the other way..... That would see the road speed being close to 109 - more than enough to get busted by fixed cameras in most states. Quote:
As for speeding fines being "deserved"... well that is a totally different conversation that would see this thread closed for sure. But I'll simply say that we would disagree on the subject by the sounds of things. :

Yep that’s right, not isolated enough to keep us safe from Victoria. I feel the O/P will agree.

You get caught breaking the speed limit you get fined.
Is it really such a difficult concept?

What a great thing it would be if everyone concentrated on driving instead of on the speedometer :

I was just flicking through an old wheels magazine - July 1967, and came across an interesting article "The Suicidal Sixties" which lamented the introduction of blanket 60mph speed limits in NSW. NSW was one of the first states to introduce the blanket limit, with wheels predicting the other states will almost certainly follow suit - with the exception of Victoria, "which has firmly set its face against an outright speed limit"
Back then there was a "'driver onus' limit of 50mph, under which you may be charged with driving dangerously if doing more than that speed, and the onus is on you to prove you were driving safely", a situation which Victoria "considers ideal" How things have changed!! Now from what I can tell Victoria is the most overpoliced state in the country for speed. Think I was born too late.... |
