Staggering fines generated by new speed camera in the M8 Tunnel Motor Torque with David Berthon

I use the new Westconnex M8 tunnel on a regular basis, with a new 90km/hourlimit a great piece of road infrastructure, expensive yes but a real time saver.Surprising news this week – a new speed camera installed in May in the M8tunnel at Newtown heading southbound has generated more than $1.3 milliondollars in fines in its first month of operation from 1622 infringements. It appearsmost of the drivers caught speeding were using business-registered vehicles –camera detected fines issued to companies can be five times the amount paid byan individual, the company required to nominate the driver responsible within aspecified time – if they nominate the driver the fine reduces to the applicableindividual amount. With the tunnel speed indicated at 200 metre intervals itsstaggering that so many drivers throw caution to the wind. I’m David Berthon
