Well, I thought the lunatic Bracks government couldnt possibly screw Victorian drivers over anymore, in step local councils.

Local councils, have now applied to the government, to have their own radars and speed cameras, to raise revenue in there own municipalities.

I can only assume from this that we will now face speed cameras (hidden of course) and radars in nook and cranny they can think of.

Its becoming outright bloody depressing living in this state.

Why doesn't this suprise me ?
There really is no end to these money hungry pricks .

I was sitting at the lights last night and looked up to see
the speed camera.

I thought to myself, if these pricks don't stop with this campaign
targeting the motorist, people are going to get pissed
off. It would be very easy to get a small ladder and
a black spray can, and spray accross the lenses of such cameras and fixed speed cameras....

Well yes it would, and just as easy to end up in court too, with a lovely fine, and anything else they can think of at the time I bet.

But its all getting ridiculous, but its not revenue raising remmeber, I think I will limit my car to 50klms an hour now, before they make it law.

Horse and buggy would have to go faster, maybe I will just buy a Model-T. Why do I feel we are going backwards not forwards.

Its suprising to see even the radars a rampant where i live... its on the oustkirts of Melbourne! Its getting insane.

A lot of my fellow Victorians are partly to blame for all this........they voted these morons back in!!! Haven't you learnt your lesson already people???

The increases in cameras and radars are a blatant attempt to raise money and hide the fact that Labor (as usual) have blown every cent of the surplus that Jeff created and now we are being made to suffer for this.

I agree totally marine1

We need Jeff back

I'll agree also!
I made a point to place the Bracks government last on each ballot paper when I voted last, but to little avail...

We sure do, he got us out of debt, even though it was due to the opening of the casino which also steals out money hehe... i never vote labor, they have the worst policies. The opposition leader of the state wanted, if voted in, to have a 10% le-way of the speed limit, so 50-55, 60-66, 70-77 etc etc. Thats a brighter idea ey
