10 speed cameras churn out 60,000 fine
The 10 busiest speed camera sites in the country churned out almost 60,000 fines in the past financial year, but police say the number is falling as motorists heed the call to slow down.
National Party law and order spokesman Simon Power is calling for police to assure drivers speed cameras are being used on dangerous roads and not simply for revenue gathering.
The top 10 cameras were in mainly urban areas with high traffic volumes.
Mr Power said he would be seeking information on the crash rates at the locations and the amount of fines the cameras had generated.
