If speeding fines are only going to increase by 5% which generated $291 mil in 2009, that would mean it will only add an extra $14 mil... So how could 5% add an extra $137 mil to revenue unless fines will increase?

I heard Eric Roozendahl say in an interview this morning that fines are going to increase. Best thing we can do is allow a little more time for our journeys and make sure we don't speed. I know it is an incredibly hard thing to do, I'm going to have to watch everything I do.
Further, if I have a nose to tail accident as a result of speedo gazing then I will send the bill to the RTA and the NSW legislature. Unsatisfactory response and I'll lodge my claim in local court to recover damages, costs and demorrage. Worked on the councils, hopefully it will work against those who have legislated that we spend more time watching our speedo's than the environment in which we travel; a reprehensible and blatant endangerment of motorists in the name of government revenue streams, and the latest budgetary forecasts released yesterday reveal how the punishment is about revenue and not at all about safety.

This can't be good.
I didn't realise I woke up in Victoria. This government has to go.

Hopefully this news will get a bit more publicity. This is getting ridiculous!
How can they possibly let mobile speed camera's out onto the roads. These have absolutely nothing to do with detering speeders and dangerous drivers, they have no place on our roads from a safety point of view and something should be done to remove them.. Why do NSWalians continue to keep voting in Labor governments!! Why won't the rest of us learn!!

Until people learn to stop thinking "their" party will do better (or whoever), nothing will ever change. Voting someone else in does not stop the rot.

Every year they put out a figure for fine revenue and it increases each year.
So this is nothing new. |

The QLD coppers refer to speeding fines as 'voluntary taxes'.
Also, in b4 'don't want a fine, don't speed zomg'

So now we wait for SA, WA, NT and TAS to admit whilst having a seperate thread for each one and we'll have a complete set.
It's all been said before in 2 threads over the last fews months do we really need to go over it again? |

The moment that they factored in speeding fines into the budget, they lost all credibility in suggesting speed cameras weren't about revenue raising.
One thing I do welcome is number plate reading, particularly if they're coupled with mobile police who can pick up unregistered, stolen, questionable vehicles. Have seen how they're effectively used in the UK on various cop reality TV shows and I'd like to see them used here in the same manner. |

And the usual standard moronic responce from you too... to a comment which wasnt even directed at yourself. I have NOT ONCE said who I vote for, and you know why... WHO REALLY FRIGGING CARES! Your assumptions are typical of a narrowmind person with blinkers on, unable to fathem the idea that a person who hates political parties is obviously a labour party supporter, a socialist or a commie... Please add some other pathetic insult like you usually do.

It appears we are more interested in a political slanging match than another speed camera thread number 521.
Closed. Want to speed and not get caught come to the Ford Forum Drag Nats. no speeding on the return though or Russellw will zap you with his speed camera..
