Plan B Forum

Soon the ACT will receive its first set of Point to Point speed cameras.

You would think that the Government had just legislated for all to drive at 20 kilometres under the speed limit the way some pork chops are carrying on about it.

One reason that is often given for instilling mechanisms to encourage people to stick to the speed limit, or below, by the Government is 'road safety'.

Those that are againt the devices just scream out that it is a cunning 'revenue raising' plan.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if those that bleat 'revenue raising' decided to stick it to the Government and refuse to line the coffers with their hard earned cash simply stuck to the speed limit or below?

Surely that is the best form of attack over something that will not be removed?

Me? I'll stick to the speed limit or below. (Mind you, it does help that I rarely, if ever, drive the section of road that the cameras have been installed along.)

Communist, totalitarian, nanny-state-ism !

I'll buy the road safety argument once they start putting emphasis on all the low revenue but dangerous laws that are broken constantly in full view of police.

How about implementing this method. the City of Rochester MI had a constant problem with Speeding on a local residential rated road (due to Oakland counties insane road planning but that's another rant) the speed trapped it for years. Planing a cop there did little good because it would take 24/7 surveillance (which they tried) only to learn that it was creating a greater road hazard. Do you know how how they eventually fixed the problem? A speed camera. But not a speed camera that gives out tickets one that broadcasts back to the driver how fast they are going as a gentle reminder to slow down. no one is getting fined no one is making revenue but the street is much safer.

The solution to revenue cameras is a good rifle.
