Another revenue grab

[Swoop]

A foot, located over the numberplate, solves the issue quite nicely.

As soon as the general public agree to a huge rise in tax rates, road user charges fees, petrol tax, and GST.

Are you ready?

How long until highway quality is improved enough that speed limits can be raised to 120km/h?

-15yrs and counting

[vinducati]

I also look forward to having improved highways.
This will mean higher taxes.
Would you be happy to pay higher taxes?
Probably not.
I don't disagree that the whole idea of that fining people rather than educating people and improving roads is not the way to go.
However, better roads cost money.
So we have to get used to speed camera's being a part of life.
Yes I think they should be signposted and put at blackspots ,not perfectly safe roads, but,
if you want to go fast. really fast, go to a trackday.
If you want to ride on the road do so, but don't moan if you get a ticket, it's the law.
Tough facing the truth isn't it.

[James Deuce]

Bah. Stay off the friggin motorways. Go really fast for 20 minutes, then stop for a coffee before you get to the next camera. Apply some creativity to your personal solution.

BLASPHEMY!

If we did not oppose laws where would we be today? Women wouldn't be able to vote. We would still be allowed slaves. Sodomy would be illegal. Homosexuality would be illegal. Blacks sharing restrooms and bus seats with whites would be lynched.

Now the speeders are the oppressed people of this country! For how much longer shall the bureaucracy stifle the speeders?! For how much longer shall they be punished for merely exceeding an abstract velocity figure, and not be praised for pure common sense velocity choices?!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

[Berries]

I wouldn't worry. All the ones they put in in my home town were forward facing so that they could also ID the driver if any arguments ensued. If everyone wears hi-viz and a white helmet they wont be able to track us at all.

[vinducati]

What he said.
What about a place in the country like The Isle of Man, with no limits.
I suggest Central Otago.

So when... uh... I go from office to clients, East Tamaki to city, I should stop somewhere? When in the country I like to do 400km ish before stopping... if I can...

[Brian d marge]

"In the year ended June 2010, police issued more than 457,000 speed-camera-infringement notices."

How many licence holders in NZ?

When the law dissagrees with the majority of the country you've gota at least wonder why, eh?

This is the second time I have agreed with you

please try and not make it a third ,

Stephen

[Brian d marge]

Its all about safer journeys folk ....

and everything will be fine Thx1138 , if you would just take your pill


Stephen

What WILL it take before NZ stops rolling over and does SOMETHING ......

Yes. Work/Life balance Shirley!

Had to laugh at this one. How much good does grizzling on KB actually do? Unless you address the issue through your MP or maybe the Minister, your opposition to the law via KB is simply whinging.

Yeah, whinger. So there.

Don't hold your breath, Obiwan.

I shall whine wherever I see fit good sir. Whining in any public forum can help your viewpoint if others agree. When the masses move as one it is far more powerful than one MP campaigning. I think the greatest testament against current speed enforcement is the fact there were nearly half a million breaches of the law (that were caught). Now if that isn't a rebellion I don't know what is.

Some countries have speed limits that make far more sense.

France eg. 110 (100 in rain)-expressways
130 (110 in rain)-motorways

In this country if I go 120 on the motorway on a nice sunny day, I'm very dangerous. But if I go around a '55 recommended corner' at 100 in the rain, I am in no breach of any law as long as I don't lose traction. 'SAFETY IS OUR GOAL'

Actually out of western countries New Zealand has one of the lowest motorway speeds, with most European countries having 130 or 120. It's a surprise they don't all die everyday.
