Victorian Government's speed camera cash cows
Keith Moor From: Herald Sun August 18, 2011 12:00AM
MORE than 1.3 million motorists paid almost $250 million in speed and red light camera fines in the past year.
That boosted State Government coffers by $475 for every minute of 2010-11.
Figures obtained by the Herald Sun reveal most motorists were fined for doing less than 10km/h over the limit.
By far the biggest revenue raisers of all 435 traffic cameras in Victoria were the four speed cameras mounted on the Melbourne-bound side of Forsyth Rd bridge on the Princes Freeway at Hop-pers Crossing.
They collected $4.14 million from 24,410 motorists.
The second biggest earners were the cameras mounted across three lanes of the Frankston Freeway off-ramp at the intersection of Dandenong-Frankston Rd.
They snapped 16,425 motorists, who paid $3.19 million in fines.
