The 10% tolerance was put to the state gov... Bracksy's reply " We don't give a toss"

That's what the mongrels tried to tell us (scare tactics) but I don't believe it to be the case. When it was reported sometime later that they were issuing fines with such a low tolerance they shrugged their shoulders said "yeah" but we're not telling what the tolerance. Remember the speed on the ticket is after the tolerance has been removed so a ticket issued for 64 would have the vehicle clocked at min of 67 (3kph federal tolerance) plus whatever the state tolerance is. Vic used to be
3 plus 10% now it's 3 plus we don't know. What is it in SA ?

yeh steve bloody bracks.
90%+ of cars from new actually read more than what your doing so even though adr allows for 10% our mate steve said stiff .you do 3 yes 3 ks over and your gone.we have just had all the fixed cammeras removed from work because they were found to be faulty.as mad dog said they tell us 3ks over but apparently its a little more(they wont tell us).
but if you dont speed you dont need to worry lol.
ps i just seen your head..... you really need a head job boy its a shocker lololololol.
pps there is no duck.hes gone for good(with lemon sauce)

i would have thought that if the ADR syas that a speedo must be within 10% of actual and real/true speed then they (the camera's /radar) must have a 10% tolerance??
i suggest that that is the case here in SA but I often hear of lees an that in Vic?

As i understand it, the 3 kph tolerance was put forward by the vic gov, but has never been officially passed by the parliment, Still they try to shaft us all the time. There has been a huge increase in the number of mobile camera units out and about since the ring road cameras were shut down.. WARNING there is a new speed camera mounted on the hume fwy southbound at Wallan..
WARNING 2 the police have a new type of vehicle working the ring road, it is a purple ss with no markings on the front and hidden lights at the front, but with small side stickers and lights at the rear.. Made for sneaking up behind us.. Mongrels

Ok now i know this is going to cause quite a few dramas... but everyone's entitled to their own little opinion and this is just mine...

Why do people make such a big deal about the "TOLERANCE" thing??
I'm not sure about other states... but over in WA it's usually about 7-9kms over before you will get pinged... but really... should you be speeding in the first place?
Everyone jumps on the bandwagon when someone is killed on our roads and they all make a big song and dance about it, but just as soon, they jump back in their cars and think.. well it's not going to happen to me and off they go.. doing their own little 5 or 6 k's over the limit...

The "limit" is there for a reason... usually it's because the powers that be have decided that is the "safe" speed limit for that road... but then you get these people who really dont give a toss about laws like that because they think they can handle their cars and it'll never happen to them...

I think it's time for a wake up call for lots of people out there on our roads ... if you speed... expect to have to pay for the ticket... People need to start taking responsibility for their actions and stop blaming the government and or their departments for their own !$@$ ups...

Well thats my little rant over and done with .. hope everyone had a safe weekend :D
