you drive down a road and a child jumps out the road, doesn't matter if you were driving 20km/h - 200km/h the child is dead if you hit it, and if you were paying attention (and wasn't trying to look at your speedo), either you would've swerve, and if you couldn't swerve in time, that means there no time WHATSOEVER to try and slow down, the child is DEAD, which is unless you're travelling < 10km/h... so don't let your emotion take over your analysising skills..

Documented pedestrian accidents all shows no braking response from driver, and most of these pedestrians are drunks which they must be, to jump out the road. And whose parents would let their child play on the roads? You think this is a playground? There's parks and backgrounds to play in, but I think in actual fact there aren't any children killed on the road, which means the parents are doing their job fine...

so you agree that they are actually raising revenue? If they want to raise revenue, they do it by documented tax, not by ripping extra money from fines, by which 95%+ of those penalised were a good driver to start with anyway..

OK
A: I know of 5 people( that I actually know) in the last 8 years that I have lived in Sydney that have been hit by cars travelling at the right speed and servived. one of them being a 2 yr old child.

ALso it is clearly obvious that you do not have children.
It is not a matter of letting them play on roads, but how many children do as the are told 24/7???? Not one.. it is not in their nature. and considering I have a 2 yr old that has been brought up in this club and thinks that cars or cool and great to play with, he has no fear of the road what so ever, so just getting him to the park is sometimes a life altering experence.
Children are unpredictable and they don't carry big neon signs telling people what they are about to do next.

yes I do beleive that the fines are revenue raising, but if you get off your high horse and thing about where that money does actually go in some ways it is actually good for the country.

Hell to too long ago I got a rather nasty fine which i would not of got if the clock in my car was at the right time and not 5 minutes fast. 58 in a 40 zone 9:28 am. Road is normally a 60 zone outside school hours and I had 2 mins and I would of been doing under the speed limit. but hey almost $400 and 3 point later. but hell.. in the end it was my fault.

Point is if you don't want to pay the fine then don't do the crime.
