StevieF8 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The Kwinana Freeway, WA installed a new camera on the freeway. Fines issued during the first month of operation - July 12 to August 12, 2012: Under 9km/h: 2620 Between 10-19km/h: 857 Between 20-29km/h: 92 Between 30-39km/h: 20 More than 41km/h: 8 Source: WA Police Where is most of the money made? I have no problem if you’re going 110+ in a 100 zone, but up to 110 is ridiculous and nothing more than a money maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Les Patterson Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Do they have that variable speed limit near schools there, depending on the time of day? If speeding was such an issue in these areas, then a fixed speed camera should be installed. What I think you'll find is most of them are on the freeways, which gets the most traffic and where people are more likely to speed...therefore making the most money. your location says UK....WTF should it matter to you ????

Love Shoes Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I have no problem if you’re going 110+ in a 100 zone, but up to 110 is ridiculous and nothing more than a money maker Speed cameras make more money / revenue than catching criminals, they don't get to cash in the checks for catching the &*^% who stole your car or broke into your house or stole your Mum's purse, or smashed the front of your house up, but they do get paid for doling out speeding fines ...... I will keep on whinging about the bright yellow Mazda here in town, its sneaky and not good practice, and makes a mockery of the whole idea of deterrents ..... But I suppose with the revenue raised by this sneaky car they can afford to drive around in style ... why they can't have a white or black car is a complete mystery to me, that would fit in much better than a bright yellow sports car, I know I will see it tomorrow, apparently they have UTE's too ... because my neighbour got pulled by a copper in one ....

Guest chris955 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Yes the vast majority fined for doing a speed noone with half a brain would consider excessive on a freeway. Imagine the drop in revenue if there was more commonsense used ? The Kwinana Freeway, WA installed a new camera on the freeway.

StevieF8 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 It seems to becoming a regular theme on here unfortunately. Given that this is a migration forum, where people are looking for information on Oz, then I thought it might have been obvious why it mattered to people in the UK, what goes on over there....or is not that simple?

Sir Les Patterson Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Because it does.... Didn't realise I had to get permission of you, to have an opinion on Oz. But why...why should it matter either to you or Boa what happens with speed zones around schools or any other place......I don't live in the UK and consequently couldn't give a bugger what you people do with anything in your country......so why should it concern you with what goes on here.

Love Shoes Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 homewardbound you win... Imo it isn't a case of winners or losers .... but an exchange of views ... personally I think it is sometimes better to agree to disagree than have a heart attack :wink: but look at this the legal speed limit around this bend is 70 km/h which IMO is crazy, I have driven on tracks took bends at ridiculous speeds, but my trusty Toyota wouldn't like it very much if I executed this bend at 70 km/h .... yet the powers that be think its safe, so I won't argue with them, but in the same vein the same powers to be will issue speeding tickets for doing 103 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on an empty motorway or dual carriageway. I think it's this sort of madness that incites rage .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Exactly, it is nothing to do with winning or losing, it is different opinions. Everything doesnt have to be a competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
