RTA plans 40 more mobile speed cameras for NSW

November 1st, 2010

The RTA and mobile speed camera contractors are about to launch 40 more covert speed cameras in NSW. This is a massive increase on the $2.1 million Redflex contract currently underway, which only operates six mobile camera cars.

I just read that, turns out the RTA and his b*tch Redflex are planning to shaft more drivers in the arse again.

Redflex is listed on the ASX and their share price is bound to go up. Instead of making a dirty profit, I propose that every working Australia contribute $20 to buy out the company so it can be dismantled.

The scary thing is what is to stop the government handing out other law enforcement to a more private companies.

This speed camera malarkey is getting out of hand, and only going to get worse if a company is in charge. To be in business means they have to earn a profit, how is NSW going to say this is not revenue raising.

WTF do they do now.... :fool:

Camera detection of unauthorised vehicles FAQs

"To make our roads safer for everyone, vehicles detected by an enforcement camera can also be checked for valid registration and CTP insurance. Fines may apply.

What is an unauthorised vehicle

An unauthorised vehicle is a vehicle without current registration. This can mean that the vehicle also has no CTP insurance. Driving an unauthorised vehicle is illegal and potentially dangerous.

Why is it important to ensure vehicles are registered

Registered operators have an obligation to ensure their vehicles are registered and roadworthy.

Driving an unregistered vehicle can have very serious implications for the vehicle owner and pose a serious risk to the wider community as unregistered vehicles are less likely to have had a safety inspection.

Additionally, if a driver has an at fault accident in an unregistered vehicle the driver or last registered operator could be held personally liable for compensation to any person injured."

For a start, maybe a more visible police presence might go some way towards reducing the road-rage that so many of us experience with that cholesterol of our nation's arteries - caravans.
