sort of. its the public saying to the SNP fuku if you think your stealth taxing us with speeding fines
the SNP banked on gaining revenue from the avgspeed cams on the M90 for the new bridge but what they never planned on was the public sticking to the limits, same goes for other stealth tax roads and this is why they keep dropping the speed limits on roads that dont need it to try and catch people out, its nothing to do with safety. Edinburgh council sort of admitted that they dropped the speed limits in the centre of town to 20mph and put more cameras up to gain revenue.
just like the 5p plastic bag charge, that is until the public said that it should go to charity and not the public coffers as then it would just be an unfair stealth tax.
