...those Queensland cops are not to bright..

We have a major six lane freeway linking Melbourne to Geelong and they have cameras on a number of bridges.

They book at 103kph. Actual is 106kph with a 3kph variation due to camera innacuracy.

Now that is nothing more than a revenue getter. I'll prepared to be convinced otherwise.......

There was a motorist lobby to change the speed to 110kph and the Government Minister argued that it would be dangerous - read we would miss out on fines/income.

The Australian Design Rules allow for a 10% variation in speedometers, yet the Governmenet gives f@*ck all variation other than the 3% due to camera error. Now you see it is only revenue raising.

Mmmm don't me get me started on the fuel tax..

And just thinking about Cops/Police there will not be too many left in Victoria after this current Chief Commissioner finishes.....

Cheers
