Speed camera complaints continue
Ballina.Info readers continue to tell us about how they were fined for speeding at St Helena, where it is claimed that the speed camera is faulty.
“I have had 2 speeding fines for that area … I’m aware of the limit as I’ve grown up there and often visit,” Andrew Addenbrook wrote.
“One such fine was when I came down for work. My car is not very big and I was carrying a trailer with 1 metre of soil in it. This is impossible to take up a hill such as that at the speeds I’ve been accused of.
“I often need 2nd or 3rd gear. I know I wasn’t speeding and am outraged at the length I have to go to to prove this.”
Given what Andrew has told us, it begs the question: How accurate is the St Helena speed camera?
Ballina.Info has passed on our readers’ comments to Member for Ballina, Don Page, who first raised in public doubts about the camera.
Mr Page’s office has told Ballina.Info that our MP is awaiting a response from the State Roads Minister. We’ll continue to keep our readers informed of any developments.
