Hmm lets have a think.
Government decreases points taken for minor offences. Hmm sounds good.. but wait, they increase the fines..
The government has simply deployed a method of penalizing people more often and masking it by allowing them to keep their licence for longer. Before a maximum of 4 low range speeding offences and your licence is gone, now you can get fined up to 12 times for speeding before your licence is suspended. Essentially their just milking out every single dollar they can get.
Its all about revenue raising, they dont give a f*ck about your safety or well being. And lets face it, even if the new accident figures for next year come out with 2-3 less casualties than the years when mobile camera's where not enforced, it just gives the f*ckwits justification to continue what their doing.
