Brack$ is at it again. Having learned nothing from their previous speed camera debacle on the Western Ring road, drivers are now disputing $peed camera fine$ at the Forsyth Road overpass location on the Prince's Highway / Geelong road at Hoppers Crossing.
This particular highway allegedly has up to 8 or so speed cameras along it's entire length but only this odd one seems to be causing heartache with drivers. People are setting cruise controls at 100 kph, driving past the 8 or so cameras & getting fined by ONE of them.
The police response has been fairly typical claiming that this particular camera has been verified & re checked & have put the onus on drivers to prove that their speedos are accurate.
They are even offering a get out of gaol free card to anyone who can prove their speedos are under reading. How re-assuring.
If not already the case, I'd like to see an INDEPENDENT technical observer co supervise the checking & re calibration of these camera's to re- assure us that eveything is fair & above board. Maybe our motoring organisations could fund the observer ?
Anyone using that road going to the GOR would be well advised to pass THAT camera with 90 on the clock to be sure.
And if that's not enough for you, Brack$ has just announced plan$ to in$tal an extra 21 Gat$o radar ba$ed $peed cam'$ on the We$tern Ring road, but mind you, I haven't heard of crashing, carnage or fatalities on that road at all
Guess we 've got to pay for the CommGames some how
Be careful out there.......the Hit Man might get you
