Police have more important things to do than deal with trivial bullshit from people who think the road rules don't apply to them, of which they are there to protect people I might add. Examples of real Police work- scraping dead kids off train tracks, preventing burglaries, arresting sexual offenders, trying to console people who are losing their shit at having lost family members to road accidents. But hey you just keep bitching about your $30 ticket your wife and daughter wont own up to if it makes you feel better. Rant over.

If you read the post properly before going off on your rant you might have noticed that he said they don't know who was driving because they shared the driving on the trip and don't know who was in which seat wherever the camera happened to be. If he genuinely doesn't know he is obviously unable to do the police's job for them, and cannot name a guilty party without lying to the authorities (which is apparently illegal).

It would be nice if the police bureaucracy allocated more officers time to those more important things instead of sitting beside the road with a camera to penalise generally law-abiding people for trivial infractions weeks after the event. It may not do anything for road safety but hey, it makes the quota (sorry its 'performance target' now isn't it) look better right?

Don't need too pay or more importantly have the unjust infringement on my record common sense and justice prevailed.

Can someone advise me how I can keep track of three vehicles with multiple legal drivers even when I am not around, what if they don't fill in a log just take it legally remember I am in the other side of the country on occasion.

I can assure you all I would be the fist to present the speeder with their prize and perhaps after a repeat performance revoke the use of the vehicle.

Should I lie and pay to make it go away?

Should I accept multiple infringements recorded against me that I lied to accept?

Does the actual speeder learn anything?

Are these cameras fit for purpose?
