JOIN THE MASS RALLY AGAINST UNFAIR SPEED CAMERA TOLERANCES
October 29th 2006
On Sunday October 29th a mass protest rally will be held in Melbourne city centre to demand at least
10% tolerance, before speeding fines are issued by
speed cameras.
11am, CNR SWANSTON & BOURKE ST
Motorists should not be fined for speeds of only 3 km/h over the posted limit ? this is impractical, unreasonable and unfairly penalises motorists who are rightly paying more attention to the road than to their speedo. In addition, many vehicles were manufactured to Australian Design Rules only requiring a plus or minus 10% accuracy in their speedos.
Other states have more reasonable tolerances to allow for these factors.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1. Attend the protest rally.
2. Tell your friends and co-workers about the rally ? the more publicity, the better. Email all your contacts about this protest and ask them to email theirs. Help it to snowball.
3. Involve everyone ? this is a fight for fair treatment of all road users, whether they are motoring enthusiasts, commuters, truckies, pensioners or students. Photo-copy and distribute this.
4. Email us at the email address below to inform us that you will attend the protest and to receive further updates.
