    This bullshit is not about SAFETY it never was and never has been, DUI's, seatbelt laws, etc all that shit is just for $$$$$.
    That's how it is here. They can say any old shit & do to pull you over with every intention of giving you a breathaliser.

    The other thing is hiding behind bushes with a speed gun, they're supposed to be visible but not the 3 piles of shyte that had nothing better to do last saturday afternoon.
    Is it any wonder people hate them

    Diz - it is the norm here and it did get media attention when it was introduced. People are just used to being shat on.
    For a very very very short time here in Australia, they were implementing fixed speed camera's hidden inside garbage bins on the side's of roads... hidded, ready to catch people speeding and send you a fine in the mail... There was such an uproar that the didn't go ahead with it...

    But they still have camera's hidden on the front of unmarked parked cars which catch person after person after person doing about 2 mph over the speed limit, with $150 fine... I mean, f'n 2 mph over the limit.. Your speedo could be out that much.. And does 2mph make ANY difference at all to safety? In fact, it's safer to pay full attention to what is going on out of your front window, than to keep checking you're speed hasn't crept 2mph over the limit....
    It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.. and if that went back into better roads, safety, safety technology, families of victims of drunk drivers, etc etc then I wouldn't have such a problem... But it goes into the political coffers to be used for $100,000 a weekend retreats for politicians...

    Yeah it's the norm over here, although i've been driving for 2 years and have not been breathalized and only been in the car once when the driver has been. I hate drink drivers though, selfish people putting innocent lives at risk. I tell this to my friends too who too frequently DUI, more often under the influence more than just alcohol.
