Our wonderful State Premier (equivalent of Governor in US) has announced major reforms to the traffic infringements and penalties system in QLD, AUSTRALIA, including fixed speed cameras installed on bridges and overpasses on major roads and highways. Double demerit points and fines if you are caught twice in 12 months doing 30 klms over the limit, confiscation of your vehicle for repeat Drink Driving offences, and impounding of vehicles for 'hoons' and loud stereos.
What a load of crock!!!!!!!!
Some of these reforms are justified like the Drink Driving, but fixed speed cameras on bridges and overpasses are just plain revenue raising.
I know guys who have spent 10k-15k on their stereo systems and now if they have them turned up too loud they can have their cars impounded!!!
The laws don't actually state if they are even safe if the vehicle is being driven or not, so basically if the boys are parked somewhere with the tunes turned up they can lose their cars.
BIG BROTHER GONE MAD???????????????????????????????????????????????
