But of COURSE they wouldn't do that..... it would mean a lo$$ of revenue.
Traffic infringement fine amounts are carefully weighed up, taking all factors of driver mentality (eg risk taking vs pay packet) into consideration, thereby maximizing monetary gain.

Really?
I'm more swayed towards they choose areas' that have the most usage or greater chance of retrieving revenue for them; if that also happens to be an area that also creates greater public safety then its a double whammy for them.
Either way its win win.
