That is a joke! The statistic that most amazed me was that the growth in revenue in Victoria from traffic fines has grown 430% since 2000. Gone from 99 million to 430 in less than 3 years. Something to be proud of. The government is addicted to this just as they are to gambling, and in the Federal Governments case, tobacco taxes.

Then we would be too busy to notice the speed signs and they would get even more money :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
