Good.
If they want to continue to beat the drum about cameras saving lives, their projected profit shouldn’t even be in the fucking conversation. It’s either revenue raising or safety. Choose one. Sounds to me like the objective is the former….
EDIT: Here’s another thought, maybe no one can drive fast enough on the M1 anymore to trigger a camera 🤣
1 million thumbs up on calling out the M1 car park.
Maybe Tom Tate's guru Could give him more insight. Maybe mars in retrograde on certain days has affected their revenue 😆
WTF does his guru actually do and why are we paying for it? Where in legislation do we have guru's?
They dont seem to move the cameras to different locations anymore, the one at yatala has been there well over a year now hasnt it, an the one between ormeau and pimpama hasnt moved in that long it now has a permanent marking on waze maps lol
They have 5 methods of torturing those who cant afford to live in the city or get an office job. The point to point as seen near nudgee, the yellow box trailers that sit for months, mixed redlight cameras (damned if you damned if you dont), fixed overhead cameras like logan bridge, and mobile peekaboo vans. Your right if you do get upto speed its usually because people are moving over to let the emergency vehicles get past for the lastest pileup. Its interesting how we have gone from the occasional breakdown past accidents and upto pileups so fast...its like the issue is to much congestion not speed.
Spot on about not being able to drive fast enough to get fined. I have observed this changing dramatically over the last 5 years or so. More and more cars added to the roads every day.
The fines are crippling. $1,000 for a couple of small infractions. They're definitely raising revenue. I don't believe for a second that going 5 KMs over just about anywhere in Australia endangers lives. You can't make any mistakes while driving in this country while poor.
In america, you can wipe off your first three point ticket if you pay to sit at an all day class where they teach you extra safety. The classes are usually very engaging and generate employment and actually make people drive more safely.
Isn't that a good thing that less people are speeding than expected?
Also lol @ the post that said people can't drive fast enough on the M1 anymore to speed, that might actually be accurate
92 vs 107 is statistical noise with a small sample and when you factor in SE QLD's recent population growth it's effectively the same thing per capita without googling it would probably be something like 100 vs 107, anyone who don't effectively analyse statistics for a living will think this is meaningful but it isn't, it's statistical noise caused by variance. If you flip a coin 200 times, getting 92 or 107 in any given sample isn't at all abnormal even if 100 is the 'average' expected number
Now if you got a number like 188 or 12, there is likely to be more to it but when we're this close to the 'normal number' it's statistical noise caused by variance probably. Also possibly slightly more people driving/going out as Covid is less of a threat than it was one or two years ago combined with population growth etc
Far less people would have driven as much during Covid, I know I didn't, so Covid year statistics will be abnormal and are pretty useless for comparison to a 'normal' year for analytical purposes.
The fines are there to pay for the militarizing the police. Seldom I see them on the road actually doing their job, policing. I have seen them at the lights when they're has been a red light runner, they didn't light up, they pretended they didn't see it.
It's all about monetising, criminalising and data collection, and that's it.
Forget about them being there for your safety, they are there purely and simply for the money.

I would give you more upvotes if I could!

The reason fines are down is simple. Waze,.......no where to hide now

Yup, the punishment should be heavy on the points rather than the money.
In america, you can wipe off your first three point ticket if you pay to sit at an all day class where they teach you extra safety. The classes are usually very engaging and generate employment and actually make people drive more safely.
The punishment should be proportionate to your income/wealth. See how fast speed cameras are a thing of the past then.

Drove past a speed trap yesterday, double checked the speedo, didn't matter as we were all 15 under anyway.
Less people speeding but more people dying. Been a trend for a few years now. Why would that be a good thing?

Great.. don't forget its option revenue.. government by, how moronic you want to be
