Cameras Cut Crashes :(

After many months of people complaining about the Eastlink cameras and incorrect fines there seems to be a revival of the topic on Melbourne’s Rant Radio – 3YawN next week (Monday apparently)

Here’s some of what’s been going on recently.

Eastlink Site Certificates have recently been updated on the DoJ website
Sadly there is no new information in the pdfs. Why bother to re-upload the files (with new creation dates) if the certificates are the same?

Direct links (as of 13.09.09)

Remember these sites were last ‘tested’ on August 11 2009

Why cant the information be renewed  little quicker?
Many drivers are relying on this paperwork and delays do nothing to resolve their case.

Information contained is stale
Pdfs were refreshed on the Doj site – 13.09.09
Pdfs modified – 19.08.09

Test dates also vary, note the serials are also changing.

More news and updates after the jump. 

3YawN have people posting comments week upon week and little to no followup
Recently more have come forward, read them all here (all 61 pages)

 ***UPDATE 051009***

Todays saw another update with AM radio 3YawN try to restart the Eastlink Camera issue.

Here is the full audio – http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/AUDIO/051009_Wellingtonreports.wma
and here is the Traffic cop’s response – http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/AUDIO/051009_KenLay.wma

They have also dedicated another new page calling for fined drivers to give some details

Already 6 pages (over 40 comments so far) 

We have again offered information from CamerasCutCrashes and also our forum infrastructure to  build a feedback system for roaduser.
It seems we have been blacklisted by them as our emails are not resonded to.

Our Redlight camera with Lens cap attached made it to the rumour file – http://media.mytalk.com.au/3AW/AUDIO/051009_RumourFile.wma

***UPDATE 171009***

Feeling Jeff’d on Eastlink?

What’s your pet road peeve? I hate the law enforcement agency at the moment as represented by those speed cameras because I’ve lost a great number of points in a relatively short time on what is now called EastLink. I drive with my cruise control on but I’ve been zapped three times. I’m quite sure I haven’t exceeded the limit, so I’ve got to question the accuracy.

 ???

who do we need pinged to get this thing reversed?
