About 4 years ago, when I lived in Mill Park. I commuted to Brooklyn daily and was one of those unlucky one's to be happy snapped for no good reason. 3 times over 4 weeks, for a total of $375 and 3 points. I had all counts reversed and monies refunded. But I waited almost 12 months for my money, and no interest. Imagine if they had to wait 12 months. What a farce. :

Just an update on this...

This morning on the drive to work, I noticed that there were workmen installing what appeared to be new cameras in the city bound Western HWY exit of the Ring Road.

Not that you should be speeding anyway....... :P
