i've been hearing a bit lately about and increase in the cost of speeding fines... when did it happen, how much have they gone to???can anyone spread a bit of light on this??? Links or anything???
And just to open a can of worms, is it seen as revenue raising???

thanks

Dont speed and you dont have to worry about it, I think they should double the fines.

NSW and VIC make WA look like a charity.

Couldn't agree more.

In NSW they have giant signs that tell you that there's a fixed speed camera up ahead, and people STILL get done by em! :o
