well the positive of the potential new system is that if you get a one off speed fine and you learn your lesson ,you wont be hit as hard in the pocket as you would now eh

True, but if you do it a second time, it wont take very much to loose your licence, they should have just decreased the price, not increase the demerits aswell.

Homo's!

Tui?

Ah i remember those signs lol, or how they said they would never hide them, yet they seem to find just the right spots that you cant see them until your only around 10 metres away from them :P

Its not in yet, but there still wont be any demerits on speed camera fines, due to the fact they cant prove who the driver is.

oh give that a few years, it will get to the point that if it snaps you it sends a kill command to your bike/car you will then get out and give a blood sample they will fine you on the spot and you cant leave until you pay LOL

More reason to have a flip up number plate

There was a guy we will call Cager. He was broke but got flashed by a camera on a straight between Hokitika and Greymouth while speeding to get to his second of 2 jobs (boss was going to cut his hours to next to nothing if he was late) . He was terrified as he couldnt afford a ticket. This is back when speed cameras only ticketed the top percentage of drivers.
Another guy we will call biker realized he was in trouble, and since he had to get his proddy racebike home to Greymouth anyhow he decided to help cager out. He did several high speed passes of said camera (operator was in passenger seat with pillow asleep as he usually was) and got home without killing a bus full or orphans or any kittens.
Cager never got any ticket, to this day nobody knows if the passes by the bike running a license plate that previously belonged to a farm registered TF125 Mudbug had anything to do with it.

Everyone lived happily ever after and never did anything naughty ever again

The end

lol they may want a sperm sample too so they better put some hottie cop chicks in the cop car to do the job. Know they may not put an actual cop chick but a girl in the adult profession(coz its legal now) will do just fine. I bet thta will increase speeding dou lol.

How the hell can 38 riders not see a speed camera van?? Maybe tucked down behind their opaque colour matched screens??

I would say they can see it, but theres a limit on how much speed you can scrub off at short notice.

Hard to believe in this day and age so many would have so much complete disreguard for the law.

How is it that speeding is the main cause of accidents and yet 38 bikes can get caught without a single incident?

And your point is? You do have a point don't you?

Oh, of course, they weren't smart or observant enough to see the camera van.

Your other point was that the other vehicles that the camera van man caught speeding were 11 cars, 4 trucks and 2 buses. And they didn't cause any accidents either...do you see the trend developing?
