    And you wouldn't want to eat PR, even if she was baked in a pie...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    ...and that had resulted in fewer fatal and serious injury crashes
    This is what grinds my gears...

    Bikers don't contribute to their own downfall, it's a known KB fact.

    Paula Rose is the police person in charge of slowing everybody down.... but clearly failing with her own colleagues.

    every-time a press release is about around speed, read between the lines and it'll always be about the money, they will never make a direct comparison between reduction in speed to lower fatalities, failures and successes are both scarecrow'd to push the agenda.
    I believe they themselves no-longer believe the propaganda they push just by reading the carefully worded sentences & paragraphs they write in these press releases, I think all of them are fully aware & under no illusion that this is nothing more than a scam. They know it has nothing to do with safety, look no further than they're carefully written PR's to see that. But there is still alot of ignorant public unable to read between the lines to see what's really being said that this propaganda still works for & thus they are able to continue their extortion unabated.
    Tho I feel more people are starting to wake up to the truth looking at the change in publics reactions to these sort of announcements over the time the speed scams been running.

    I still can't see what the problem is.

    How many travel under 110 now? and how many travel faster than that?

    I know to most it won't make the slightest difference.

    Speaking for myself, it's not per se enforcement that troubles me. It's selective enforcement that troubles me. Ms Rose seems to be quite untroubled by the fact that half of police people ticketed for speeding in the end were not legally sanctioned; she certainly doesn't extend - nor does she wish to extend - that or any degree of tolerance to her taxpaying employers.

    More significantly, why pick on speeding (only) for this degree of zero tolerance. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask why we don't get the same high-intensity low-tolerance enforcement approach to child abuse cases, serious assaults, and let's not forget that plague upon the employed public, burglaries. Drive at 106 km/h past a police car on the open road, or call the police to your just-burgled home, and see in which situation the police respond quickly, or indeed at all...

    Just tell 'em you have a gun...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Which problem? That the average speed is down, that the number of speed tickets issued is still increasing, or that 'they' claim the lower death/injury rate is all because of slower speeds?

    Or the thief is a "boyracer" & "speeding" you'll probably get the fastest response you've ever seen in your life, followed by one of the biggest fines you've seen in your life as they try & recoup the lost (false) profit out of you
