And if you do manage to hit anything in the process, rest assured that GovCo will publicise that you're a repeat offender and MORE restrictions are needed. At the same time thanking you for your continual donations...

Good on the NSW cops for opposing it, no Vic cops would have the balls to make such comments. Daryl

The NSW RTA has long been a law unto itself populated with unelected bureaucrats who pass these laws with apparently no effective and moderating ministerial control.

In this case I'd bet it was pushed by politicians wanting to improve the budget position. When they look south and see that Vic is raising double the revenue from camera fines they want a slice of the action and even better if they can convince the punters that its for their own good. The bastards want to give their victims a warm fussy feeling about being so safe whilst raping their wallets. Daryl
