A.C.A.B has been posted a fine for speeding past a Police speed camera, he was caught in a residential zone speeding 15kms over the zones limit of 50km. The fine was for $80.00 NZ dollars. This is the first such ticket for over 18 months. I intend to pay the fine immediately to not incur late penalty's.
Stationary speed cameras are a major revenue for the NZ Government. Millions of dollars are paid towards fines every year. Police who issue the tickets maintain it is done in turn to keep the speed of motorists down. Research has proved this is somewhat flawed if it did have a high reduction in getting drivers speed down why do motorists spend millions of dollars on these type of offences. Another observation or question of mine with the ever increasing cost of registering a motor vehicle in NZ with the government saying it is needed for providing roads, ACC etc why does the millions in fines address this.
Myself or A.C.A.B hopes of no further tickets for at least another 18 months.
