Melbourne is, once you drive further out into the country, the bulls**ttery gradually disappears the further you get. The place is literally carpeted in speed cameras with revenue raising-oriented zero tolerance road laws with ridiculously high fines, justified under the old "saving lives" mantra. The socialist left govt even has their own propaganda "cameras save lives" website: Speed Camera Myths and Facts - Cameras Save Lives to justify their self-sanctioned theft. Victoria has pioneered this cancer under a previous leftist govt, and has now spread nationwide in various levels of bulls**ttery. Melbourne has more speed cameras than every other AUstralian city combined.
The freeways are almost permanently under construction, infact one major freeway was upgraded not 3 years ago, now they are upgrading it again!!! So you are stuck with traffic, reduced speed limits and all the other frustration that road works create. On the same freeway, the speed limit for trucks was reduced for no good reason, when it was perfectly fine and safe for the last 4 ****en decades. Now it's apparently not, as the gubbermunt propaganda spiel have decided.
There is always ridiculous chopping and changing of speed limits, and ever more reductions creeping in, with justifications like keeping pedestrians "safe" while their ****en heads are buried in their phones.
The drivers themselves are completely ****en retarded (but that applies here aswell, and by extension Australia), there is a massive population of indians and asians in their Corollas and Camrys that drive like snails, and drivers in general tend to go below the speed limits and watch their speedo instead of the road because they are afraid of getting caught by the cash cams.
I didnt see this because when I replied I left the tab open and forgot about it. What you say might be true about the speed cameras but you need to stop with this "socialist left" bullsh*t, it's overexaggerating.
I hate the speed cameras though, you can't focus on the road because the margin for error is so low like I said before.
I HATE red light cameras. Make way for an ambulance at a yellow light and get a f****** $100 ticket. I guess I'm just supposed to let the person die.

I find it incredibly funny how they focus on "speeders" and not the moron driving 20 mph under the speed limit because they're stuck on their phone. Apparently going like 10 mph over the speed limit is the most unsafe thing someone can do.
Such ticketing shouldn't even be allowed, the courts here would probably toss that. I try my hardest to adhere to the speed limits when out of state because of stories such as yours, but I'm not gonna stare at the speedometer the whole way either, that'd be more dangerous than going 5-10mph over the speed limit.
And it's good to know NJ did away with red light cameras, I was there yesterday and had my eyes peeled lol.
Lmao, well we have had an increase in crime from immigrants, which is well documented. I think it's more of an issue that we are welcoming people from another country only for them to turn to crime which is why people are p*ssed off, because we are already flat chat with our own crime problems.
Well it's the opposite here, where all the crazies must've killed each other off in the late 70s-early 90s period, and the new immigrants who took their place are generally peaceful
Long Island and Westchester are the ****tiest places to drive. Cops lurking on every corner, speed cameras, red light cameras, all that bull****. Long Island is ridiculous, it's for people who want to live in the suburbs while paying city taxes and dealing with city traffic. I'd rather move to Northeast Queens if I was those people, Queens has lower taxes and much closer to the city, while still being suburban in nature

Kind of the same in London. Crime decreased a lot after the mid 90s even as the immigrant population exploded. Same across the UK.
And as a general rule, ignoring anything BeerParty posts, or at the very least don't take it seriously. I am 100% certain he suffers from some kind of mental disorder.

Everything I post is fact, you gaybo. I've got no reason to make up s**t, I just post facts as I see them. You don't have to believe it, but you can cram your mental disorder comments right up into your c** dumpster.

Obviously we can't argue against you when you say social democratic politics are ****, because it's undisputable fact.
