50 zone speeding cost drivers thousands

Monitoring of 50km/h zones has intensified. The RACT said people were feeling the pain."Our members are telling us they're being caught in 50km/h zones for very low-level speeding offences," Mr Taskunas said. "We're talking about speed zones that have been lowered in the South by 10km/h in and around the city and the suburbs." Low-level fines were particularly infuriating for many drivers, Mr Taskunas said, because they did not consider their speeds dangerous. "The fact is speeding offences now carry a minimum of two demerit points, so P-platers caught a few kilometres over in a 50km/h zone twice, lose their licence," he said.

"We support high-visibility policing over cameras and the fact is a few kilometres does make a difference and drivers have to slow down and obey the law." TAS police  association president Randolph Wierenga said. "But at the end of the day if you don't like speeding fines, don't speed."
