Police presence in the hills every weekend rules hills cruises out so you have the targa areas past Toodyay or down towards Dwellingup dams areas. No police / public out there but the majority of car enthusiasts would see that as too much effort!Hoon laws are going to increase. IE if your a hoon law virgin, instead of getting the car impounded for 48hrs, it will now be a week. Goes on from there. Keep in mind you have to pay for storage so the longer its in the compound, the more it costs to get it out. Clever isnt it!Feebs is a perfect example of how this could go pear shaped. Imagine if they seized her car for what her BF did. She'd be out of a car for a week. Perths public transport system isn't that great so imagine trying to get to work / important appointments etcOf course the fines / points will increase to. The gumbyment KNOW there's money in Perth so why not grab some more of it. Hot the motorists in the hip pocket and a nice warm and fuzzy media campaign so joe public (the voters!) think they are making the streets safer.About time we get rid of people like Grant Dorrington and start looking at the REAL problems on our roads.That said, seatbelt fines will increase heavily AFAIK. My 21 year old best mate was killed in a car that had an accident at 60kms. Everyone else in the car walked away fine but he wasnt wearing a seatbelt..Next time you see kids jumping around the back of a car clearly not wearing a belt, record it on your phone and hand it in the the cops and make them do something about it!D congrats on the car but u really dont want black hahahaSpend hours washing them and 2min later your hard work is wasted! Still when they are clean they look mickey mouse!!unfortunately without the invention of Idiotic Driving Cameras, Drink Driving Cameras and Non-Seat belt cameras the tossers in charge of the road safety council will never shift their focus away from targeting speeding and/or Hoon related driving incidents.Doing 5 over is hardly dangerous given todays cars and the draconian mind numbing limits in place, but its so easy to chuck speed cameras everywhere and ping joe public for creeping over the limit goind down a hill.If those other cash printing cameras were invented I guaran-fucken-tee you would hear a lot less about the speed issue and the fatality rate would halve.

They have to keep putting the fines up because they are issuing less, and need to keep the money rolling in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got done in my dads commo a while ago when I looked down after being flashed and hitting the brakes I was doing 110 but the camera only clocked me doing 97 soooo we might be lucky and get away with a few less k's. started saving already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
