I love his comment, "it's not something that happens often". In other words he's admitting that he frequently does it (speed) but just 'not often'.

Before this turns into a "polly getting caught" bashing, I wonder how many people here instead of just trotting out the usual "revenue raising" mantra, might actually see some benefit in putting pressure on this "insider" to actually bring about a positive result. Rather than just lambast the guy from an annonymous forum (that I would guess he doesn't subscribe to), use the opportunity to lever any sympathy for your cause with the aid of this newly awakened "law breaker"

Is it jut me that thinks it's awfully convenient that Vic has announced it is reviewing ALL of its speed cameras and introducing 'transparency' to the system, just after the Minister was nabbed speeding?
Guess he didn't have any confidence in the accuracy of the 63 reading. |

It will be interesting to see just how third party and non biased this investigation will be. Wonder if they would have the guts to come out and boldly label it a complete revenue raiser for the government if that was the verdict. Can' t wait

Peter Ryan is a actually a pretty decent bloke, one of the few politicians who say it like it is.
What we need is someone this senior to show how stupid and unfair the current system really is.

Re this article on the Herald-Sun website: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vic...-1225997125041
Suspect it was actually a XB GT that he had, not a EB GT since I cannot remember a 2 door 351 EB. |

it was a 60 zone, so 3kmh over!
Plus I really wanted to ring up when he was on the radio saying speeding is dangerous as "around 100 people a year are killed because of speed." Now that is any speed to fast for the conditions (or too fast for the person driving), not actually speeding. I hate that statistical error they never mention! |

I once travelled at 69 on a 60 zone and I’m lucky to be alive. My car could have exploded and killed me, as well as everyone else in the area. ![]()

Doesn't feel good to be a target does it? Stale drivers? Please. To suit some young kid with an EA wagon and his inability to drive you want to remove the entitlement of half the nation to hold a licence? Grow up. As for Peter Ryan, I have to disagree Fullnoise; Peter's an absolute bastard. He is Mr Politically Correct and Mr Softly Softly. Infact, he's so soft that it's a miracle he's managed to sire children. As former police commissioner of NSW, he ruined our once fine police force. Thanks to him and his politician mates, all of the senior and seasoned police left the force, as they watched young idiots just out of Goulburn get promoted before them because they had a university degree in criminology. Further, he set up the Police Integrity Commission, which set about giving criminals an extra option on how to get back on the streets. Whatsmore he's more interested in spinning the message than the actual facts. Mark my words, Victoria will go backwards in law and order thanks to this clown; just like NSW has. Finally, just before the end of his tenure, Peter Ryan was on Holidays when one of his officers was shot and killed. Did he break his holiday to attend the funeral? Nope. Not his job apparently. If you don't believe me on this, ask any NSW police officer who worked under him what they think.
