Speed camera statistics prove that speed cameras scare the pants off Western Australian drivers and caused a huge reduction in speeding drivers since 1992. However, this hasn't resulted in a reduction in road deaths. This phenomenon is being repeated all around the world.
Yes a 46% reduction in speeding - Was there a corresponding reduction in the road deaths in this state of Australia? Absolutely not! So speed is the major cause of deaths on our roads? Think again!

What on earth is wrong with Victorians allowing a State Government to do what they are doing to the general population? A small Australian state with 5 million residents, where 2.86 million warrants and Court orders exist for unpaid speed camera fines and tollway fines. Are Victorians so distracted with football that there civil liberties no longer matter? WAKE-UP!!!
The down side of nabbing the majority of drivers with a speeding fine is the inevitable rise in disqualified drivers and a steady rise in the road toll.
Concern has been raised by both supporters and opponents of speed cameras that the exponential growth in speeding offences detected will lead to a large increase in the number of people disqualified from driving, which causes severe economic consequences for those involved and may also encourage unlicensed (and therefore uninsured) driving.
Come to Victoria - The Speed Camera Mugging State of Australia. "If you come to our state with a drivers licence, we'll make sure you leave without one."
