My apologies officer I must have taken my eyes off the speedo for a second to glance at the road.
Hi Craig,Macquarie Bank has bought this off the Government, so they have all the resources to chase you for 1k over. 380 million I read somewhere they paid for it.
Yes this makes me angry, the NSW government contracts Redflex a private company from the United States, for controlling their mobile speed cameras, this company has major banks in Australia like the NAB and Macquarie buying Redflex shares.Before the East Link freeway was open in Victoria, the government had already done budget forecast on the revenue generated from the speed cameras. So they take this income into their running budget, not their surplus !!All a very lucrative business with deceitful overtonesYou are correct
Wow commonsense prevails, there should be more Ministers like Mr Stoner
He's the member in the Coffs Harbour electorate near us. He's been fighting to have the Pathetic Highway upgraded for many many years, a big campaigner for road safety. Like most of us on the north coast, he has had friends and family Killed on this section of highway and now he has the chance to do something about it.Well done I reckon.
We bought a new car, a Fiesta and we noticed that the speedo was out.When checking with te TomTom it is showing 5 kms more then actual speed.I contacted the dealer and they told me "It is within the legal limits. Saves you paying for fines"He even said that the GPS is wrong as well and his explanation was that when you see a street on the GPS it is not in the same location as the real world.I told him that that was the map, not the GPS system.So now we are adding 5 kms on the speedo and we are doing the correct speed.Very annoying.
To be specific: when the speedo says 50, our actual speed is 45Speedo 90, actual 85Speedo 110, actual 105.So it is overreading, telling us we are 5 kms faster then we actually do.That's why we add 5 kms on the speedo reading to match the actual speed.
