Speed Cameras in Vic

Put it back into the F*cking roads! They are a f*cking wreck!!!

That costs too much in the short term, but would otherwise be the intelligent and long-sighted approach now wouldn't it

To be honest, people winge and winge for tax cuts, but i'd rather be paying a few extra bucks of tax rather than have to put up with this crap.

I think if the people of melbourne were actualy seeing a result in all these fees then it might quench some of the fury but I think a lot of it is uesd where we dont so much see it eg. hospitals etc. Still with the amount of money they are making off EVERYTHING I'm sure the quality of our roads could be a LOT better. A perfect example is the Ansett ticket levy! What a crock of sh*t, none of the workers have even seen that money! Yeah good one Bracks! ahh done. lol.

not only are the tolerances reduced, but the penalties are increased. for example, i was done for 92km/h in an 80 zone on lysterfield road. fair enough i deserved a ticket, but THREE DEMERIT POINTS wtf?! the fine was $200, which i also think is a little excessive, but its the demerit points that really piss me off. I've had my license 4 months and i'm already a quarter of the way to losing it

etc

New

Speed Less than 10 KM/H $125.00 1 Demerit Point

*** Note LESS THAN 10KM that means 1KM/H!!!!***

Speed by 10 KM/H or more but Less than 25 KM/H $200.00 3 Demerit Points

Speed by 25 KM/H or more but Less than 35 KM/H $265.00 4 Demerit Points Plus 1 Month Licence Suspension

Speed by 35 KM/H or more but Less than 45 KM/H $360.00 6 Demerit Points Plus 6 Month Licence Suspension

Speed by 45 KM/H or more $430.00 8 Demerit Points Plus 12 Month Licence Suspension

Factory speedometers are always inaccurate in favour of a higher measured speed. ie speedo =100, you're probably doing 94 or so. But you'll never be doing 100+ As such the governent has decided that speedos are now accurate enough. The old 3km/h or 3% leniance is no more!

Anyone know the demerit points lost?, cheers Clint

You will not lose any points off your SA licence. All you need to do is pay the fine. The points will be recorded at Vic Roads for three years in the chance that you may move to Victoria.
