If this is the case, then I wonder why so many people have got away with claiming that speed cameras were just a stealth tax, and more importantly, why these claims were never challenged by those who new better. I've never heard of a tax that costs more to collect than it's actually worth. This is why the dog licence was abolished - it was costing more to administrate it brought in. Perhaps also the radio licence as well - not quite so sure about that. Its quite possible for things like speed cameras to cost a lot but also bring in a lot of money. So motorists who claim them to be a cash cow may be right, but people who say they will save lots of money by abolishing them may also be right. -- John Wright Blasphemy - a victimless crime. |
