Speed camera tolerances reduced to zero March 25th, 2011
"We’re sure loads of motorists will be distressed by the move. A senior police officer even expressed concerns in the Fairfax report, saying that motorists who simply changed their tyres to a larger tread depth – putting off the original speedo calibration – might start getting fined for speeding just a few kilometres over the limit even though the speedo appears to be displaying a legal speed."

Does this mean that even normal wear of your tyres will get you fined, even thou they are still legal?
Obviously the State is broke.
There is no safety benefit with this blatant grab for cash.

"So far no date has been announced when this tolerance change will take place – if any announcement will even be made"
So one day you'll be fine the next you will be FINED.

Note; In NSW the RTA doesn't have to put these kinda things before parliament, they are a law unto themselves.
BTW, they have 300 mobile speed cameras planned.
