Well I have to say that the times I got pinged I knew I was speeding,so I did not contest the fines,my bad luck. Was I speeding dangerously , no ... 3 lane highway at 11.45 pm ,not a car within hundreds of meters . Revenue raising -definitely.
I know the police are frustrated as I am with the killing of our young people in particular,but fining people out of a license does not fix the underlying problem of lack of experience,driving to conditions,poor habits and the knowledge that advanced driving courses give you. A course like Ian Luffs in Sydney is a real eye opener to many people experienced and inexperienced. It is a car safety message focusing on anticipation,spacial awareness,peripheral vision,common sense,and ultimately car control. Everyone,young and old should do these courses ,I have done three now and you learn or re-skill every time. I know my son will do one once he has his P's.
