New Mobile Speed Cameras fine 6 cars per SECOND
Budget papers reveal that revenue from fines will almost double from $295 million in 2008-09 to $570 million in 2011-12.
“Fine revenue is estimated to increase by $137 million during 2010-11, with a mobile speed camera program and a five per cent increase in speeding fines,” the Budget says.
Drivers will not be warned before driving into the mobile speed camera’s zone. A small sign on the vehicle reads: “Safe speed check”. Another sign placed at the roadside will inform motorists: “Your speed has been checked.”
Enough said.

Everyone I speak to, in the course of my employment as a truck driver, all agree that speed cameras are only revenue raisers.
I’m amazed to the facts that most people I speak to are afraid to fight for their rights and dispute the fraudulent fines.
We need to educate the people of Australia to resist the corrupt government and organisation’s which issue the fines.
Perhaps a mandate should be organised for people to sign, then the people might have a chance to remove the illegal revenue raising devices.

Hi I would like to know how can I get my car back on the road. They said that I was driving my car but I was never stopped or did not even see a cop car weather unmarked or anything else, as I was not driving as I have had a new shoulder replacement and can’t drive, It is my left arm and that is what I change the gears with.
