Reports    
AAMI Annual Road Safety Index September 2005 Report Speed cameras – fighting a losing battle? Most drivers (61 per cent) say that the position of speed cameras is often obvious and predictable. One-third (35 per cent) also say they flash their lights to warn other drivers if they see a speed camera, and 60 per cent believe speeding fines are mainly a revenueraising exercise. Half of drivers (51 per cent) say they do not trust the accuracy of speed cameras. This was highest in Melbourne (60 per cent) where speed camera faults have resulted in refunds to thousands of drivers on major metropolitan roads.
Auditor General Victoria Victoria’s speed enforcement program July 2006 Report

  • the program has been effective in reducing speeding and road trauma
  • the program is focused on reducing risks rather than raising revenue
  • there are adequate quality assurance measures to ensure accurate and effective speed detection
  • the penalty system is effective.

Dr Dennis Jensen MP,
First Speech To Parliament
2004

 Speech On the subject of raising revenue, state governments have become so greedy that they blithely ignore simple fairness in enforcing speed limits that are quite often not set on a scientific basis but established from simple guesswork or, worse, with a view to maximising revenue from speed enforcement. Speedometer accuracy is legislated to be within 10 per cent by Australian design regulation 18, yet in many cases this is ignored in the threshold that is used to enforce speed limits.
