Victorian record no one wants.

Every year prior to GP I do a drive by down to the island with a Vic Roads bloke, he's saying their maintenance budget hasn't increased in TEN years, any wonder the roads are fubar!!!

That reminds me ... what's with that last stretch of road heading South before you turn off at the big roundabout to go to the Island? I'm sure they've been working on that widening for the last 2 years at least!? are those guys paid by the hour?

NSW Peepes....Just found out we are getting another 40 Mobile speed cameras next Feb !!!!

So I guess - like we see in Victoria (speed camera capital of Australia) - we will see an increase in the number of fatalities as well, great

When are the pollies going to realise that camera's DO NOTHING FOR ROAD SAFETY and we KNOW that.........stop telling us they are doing things they are not

Oh goody freaking gumdrops, just what i asked for for christmas.

They have been well aware since the begining that they do nothing but raise revenue!!!!
A few "ex high ranking" cops have come out and said it t oo
It's a long time since it was government FOR the people...it's government FOR the government now.
Always remember, if a lie is told often enough....it becomes accepted as the t ruth

Paul. i'm sure they are, reality is the Bass highway projects original contractor went arse up, now of course the old contractor has done all the foundation work and the road itself can only be as good as the foundation, my understanding is Vic Roads had a LOT of trouble finding someone to pick up the pieces and as a result no doubt the new contractor has Vic Roads by the short and curlies and is utilising said pressure too.
