moo4AGZETA22 Regular Location: Tasmania Registered: April 2003	Re: Revenue Raising (Part 2) Thu, 02 October 2003 03:47 Tassie has had red light/speed cameras for a while now. Around 9 months to a year I think. Interesting to see that Victoria has much higher speed camera "fines". The low fines for running stop signs and not wearing a seat belt are a reflection of the amount of revenue the government can make from these fines. I had a bit of a discussion with one of old economics lecturers about speed cameras being a "user pays" form of taxation. I thought it could be classed as an inverse wealth tax ie if you are wealthy there is a higher probability that you will have a car that will either pull up really quickly, or have the grunt to get through the intersection quickly. Flame on!!! The red light/speed cameras are scary because you are wary of the concentration and distance of the person behind you. There are a lot of tailgaters in Tassie, and we have the oldest fleet of cars in Aussie. I have been hit in my Celica from behind whilst doing about 10 km/h and she was doing 60. The cop reckoned she was doing more, but there was no skid marks! Her "excuse was that she didn't see my brake lights. My tail lights were tested be the officer at the accident scene, and they worked fine... I get a stiff neck and left shoulder whenever it gets cold . Justin [Report message to a moderator]
