The amount of money wasted on speed cameras is out of proportion to other road safety measures...

They've been putting them here in early morning when its pitch black and during night already.
It made me laugh, I was cruising to work, before daylight and it was like night time, so basically everyone needed lights on. I was leading, there where probably a good 10+ cars behind me, including my old man going to his work, anyways I turned on my highbeams and driving lights and unintentionally completely lit up a mobile speed camera car hiding there. The old man had a good laugh about it when we got home. |

I read that as saying "we have noticed that we don't do enough revenue raising at night to cover all of our overspending screw ups, so its about time we tapped the motorists for more cash".

Just think of the money wasted on this (in wages also). Night-time rates + penalties for someone sitting in the car.
Then look at those who have real jobs and only earn $15 an hour or think of all the hospital beds you could buy with the wages of camera operators each year.

They found a gap in the market. They are setting up cameras at night to improve there profits like any good business would.
Oh wait, I mean safety yeah I feel safer already. The drunk guy coming towards me or the guy who is falling asleep at the wheel wil only have a head on with me at the speed limit. YAY Let's put it this way. I drive on Friday or Saturday nights 3 times a month. Last time I came across an RBT would of been the 10th December 2010 at 1:30am Last edited by Ben73; 01-09-2011 at 04:02 AM. |

Yes all Very true gentleman, i live in the North East of Vic and work in the South West, so that means a 5hour drive every second weekend (10days on 4 Days off), some nights its just me and the truck drivers which are apparently 100kph speed limited so that must mean my speado is waaay out as i have had them overtake me at 115kph before, and then theres the car full of drunks/idiots/hero's that think because i am driving a XR8 i would like to race them, and sadly they are not all Holden drivers
