Maybe I'll stand for parliament one day..."I drive myself to work" could be a platform ;)

The pricks just rely on scaring the mums and dads with taking a few bucks of child support off them and who cares about road safety and revenue. If someone actually made a platform of proper safety management and driver education it would be a shoe in but since they make it about other s**t then the elections are more and more about who is going to screw the health/school/welfare system less.

I'd like to see a proper referendum on attitudes toward road safety policy and see where that goes.......

business should make more noise as every dollar that speed cameras takes off people is a dollar less that they have to spend on luxuries that the pollies certainly do not do without.

Here's an angle. Older/cheaper cars are likely to have a less accurate speedo (I'm a mechanical Engineer and mechanic OK) and are more likely to be pinged in the 3kmh tolerance. Who owns the cheaper cars??? The less well to do!! Which sector of the community is paying the most in speeding revenue??? I bet the poor are because they cannot afford the legals or the expert engineering advice (I DO NOT pay speeding fines, It's a matter of knowledge and understanding). And the govt are just continuously bleeding the little guys dry and wondering why personal debt is spiralling out of control.

OK rant over, but this is a real hatred of mine.
