The revenue take is are much higher that for those on flat roads - period!! Basic principle of car control, have a hill in front take foot off right pedal and place right foot in a position to cover and depress brake pedal when required (Note the bit when required). Alternatively think in advance and reduce speed, kind of thing that is important when driving a truck down a hill, not talking the dinky toys I am refering to those your Car Licence does not cover. Second point is if you can not see a Fixed mounted pole and know it is there then what you going to do if something unexpected comes at you from the side of the road? You deserve that camera fine if those two tasks are difficult especially when its a fixed mounted camera.	coldfront (15814)

Distance perception a common affliction not just based on certain ethnic backgrounds. It works on the racetrack but not very good on the open road. The funny thing is those muppets end up this time of year coming down mountain roads covered with ice and snow thinking the brakes will save them.	coldfront (15814)

So on that basis how do you know the reading is accurate? Thats all that is important on the facts once thats cleared up some one can pay the bill if there is any. In my view you are basing your argument on technicality of evidence. Were you in the drivers seat? Did you speed? You said it was incorrect on both counts then you said you "may" of been in due care with the seller selling it? Which is it? I been driving for since 1995 and I had no ticket ever, surely cannot be that hard. Money issue or otherwise. Instead of issuing fines is there a better method? I like to hear it. If you abolish fines would education work? Do we introduced community service instead of fines? Take their cars away?	Nomad (952)

The funny thing is those muppets end up this time of year coming down mountain roads covered with ice and snow thinking the brakes will save them. thats just it, they think the vehicles have great brakes etc but totally forget theres reaction time and you require traction for them to even work ! tailgating is not a distance perception problem. they travel perfect distance when ever they go past a cop. they know they can get away with harassment because yet again cops don't do any enforcement.	tweak'e (69)
