Topic: Are speed cameras of benefit to Victorians?
             Victorian motorists have been debating whether or not speed cameras are of benefit to Victoria for a long time now. The issue has been raised once again in the media when people have been fined for going two to three kilometers over the speed limit.

Some feel that they are going to get a fine they can't afford to pay, and some feel scared that they will lose demerit points on their driver's license, "so I better slow down" they say to themselves. These are some good examples that show how these so called "money making machines" are benefiting Victorian citizens. Now, those who get caught speeding are either unaware of the limit, showing off to their peers, or as is typical of today's society, deliberately flouting the law. Cameras act as a deterrent, everyone is aware they are there so it's simple, keep to the speed limit and there shouldn't be a problem. However, if you are caught speeding you only have yourself to blame, not the mischievous camera that clocks you.
