But if revenue from road fines drop's 20% that's the equivalent of all the MP's salary's.
Might have a bit of trouble digging that out from under the couch cushions.
Just a thought.

Well just got my one in the mail. Doing 58kph in a 50kph zone 2 weeks back in an area I cant even remember being in.Only a lousy $30 and to any idiot that says suck it up, already paid!But none the less, annoying. I had no idea they had dropped the tolerance, not that I care, I still drive everywhere with the 10k allowance in mind. If I recieve another fine, I'll just pay it again. Not going to change my driving habbits. So I guess the revenue gathering is working.

Don't worry the "suck it up" brigade will no doubt be getting their's at some point too (if not already). You probably won't hear about it though.
That's the beauty of their marketing, they have tried to make it socially unacceptable to complain. and its worked on a few feeble minds too!

There's a shipload of difference between a crime and an offence.

Its O.K johnf_456 I was just having a bit of good humoured fun with you. I will leave you be now, I have tried the T Shirt on and its just not my style.
So you have never had a parking ticket or a speeding ticket or any type of traffic violation offence in your whole life! You have never committed any offences or any crimes or any indiscretions of any sort in your whole entire life! Oh to be you, coz what a perfect little world you must live in. Even if it is all inside your own head. :-)
johnf_456,

Nope, no speeding tickets, no traffic tickets, no parking ticket, no police record. Oh and I am far from perfect no one is.

perfect example of why speed cameras dont work. You didnt know you had done wrong and consequently went and did it again twice.
Thats like Police catching a murder on camera then sending an infringement notice in the post, meanwhile the guy went and murdered two other people. Speed cameras do not change behavior like a patrol car will.
I bet that if it was a cop that got you first time then you wouldnt have gone over the limit those other two times

Just do some cash jobs to the value of 3x that cost and you'll be even again. Don't let them have their cake AND eat it.

Me either, but not because they're illegal.

I know a way to avoid getting speeding tickets. Drive around at 40kph, you have your 10kph tolerance and in theory, you should never ever get a ticket!
Only problem is, if it catches on the cops will get start getting you for driving too slow - revenue must be made somehow!
