Victorian police warn drivers of speed cameras as part of wide-ranging industrial action

Oh, so it’s not about safety…

Flashing lights on all speed cameras as a permanent feature would be a far better option if the intent is to actually get people to slow down.

The locations, and potential locations for mobile cameras, are already published.

Every time I have been stung by a speeding fine, it is was because I wasn’t paying attention to my surroundings and driving. I admit that and accept the consequences of my lack of attention while driving.

If you see a cheap, crappy SUV on the side of the road, pay attention to your speed. If the contractor in a Craptiva or Haval sting you, it is your own fault. They are very visible. If the cheap, crappy SUV has broken down, you probably want to slow down anyway because anyone stupid enough to buy one probably doesn’t have much road sense.

Yeah, what else can we get if we paid them even less?

I’d say traffic calming measures are the only right option for getting people to slow down.
