| « FAULTY SPEED CAMERA AT KOGARAH | GOOD BYE CHANNEL TEN » |
JUST THE TWO OF US (AT THE MOMENT)
Another day at the office and a very busy one. Last thursday was too ,we might have to call it "mad Thursday"
I slowed at least 200 cars (for the childrens safety)and my mate Jeff who was monitoring the peak side would've helped a few.
I read in the local Leader today that the kogarah MP Ms Burton still wants the speed cameras moved and to take away the school zone
I don't agree.
It does get very busy with school children when the bulk of them go into school and when they leave.
To have cars travelling at 60 klms when the kids all come out would be very dangerous,unless a safety fence is built along the eastern footpath.
There needs to be Flashing Lights and shorten the school zone time to suit the conditions. It's simple when the lights are flashing ,that means the speed limit is 40 klms and when the lights are on, that means the speed cameras are on.
Brain dead drivers will still speed and we don't need tham on the road. You can't put brains into statues.
Here am I in a full Santa suit holding up a huge sign, flailing my arm like a "goose" and some still speed past.
I like the statement today ,by Mr Willougby from the RTA trying to explain that one of the speed cameras on the Spit hill was only faulty when buses went past. Good one Paul. My next sleigh won't be a bus.
Why only buses, what about a truck or a pantech or don't those drivers have proof of innocence and they just have to cough up.
It's a telling sign, comarade, when a union,in this case The Rail, bus and Tram union come out and embarress a state labor government.
How's the M5 East going? Wasn't there a warranty? When it's handed back to the people,by the now operators, imagine the money it'll cost the taxpayer to get it all fixed up.
One question. If nearly halving the fine for speeding will make drivers slow down, would you have less illegal guns on the street if you nearly halve the penalties?
Install flashing lights at appropriate variable speed zones ,triple the number of Highway Patrol ,make the extra cars unmarked, book the bad guys and girls and leave the good drivers alone.
