Next time when you receive a speed ticket and want to curse the police, be glad that you are not in the state of Victoria, Australia, where:

• speed cameras are everywhere
• there’s only a 3km/h tolerance (over 63km/h in a 60km/h zone and you’re screwed)
• the penalty is the highest in Australia (A$200 for 10km/h over the limit)
• speed cameras are everywhere
• the cameras are unmaintained as nobody knows who’s responsible
• the cameras are malfunctioning intermittently, booking innocent people
• speed cameras are everywhere
• speeding fines are a major revenue source for the government

Have I mentioned that the speed cameras are everywhere around Melbourne?

If you are already in Melbourne, well then, too bad.

Come to think of it, having one camera per kilometre along Route 3 should do wonders to the Hong Kong budget deficit.
