For the first time in Spain, today we will express our disagreement to the radar/laser/ speed detectors and the administration cash collecting policy.

In a move started at a Forum in Internet we will meet this afternoon at a local Mall. We will drive extra slowly through the peripheric drive of the city.

Instead of ammending the extremely dangerous road infrastructure, they continue to collect fines from we poor tax payers, by the most punitive ways.

A photo/radar detector installed in Bilbao, Spain, gets 2.700 fines per month. An entrance to a dangerous tunnel from freeway is the reason. They do not have any intention to change the design for the tunnel but to continue making tons of money. (Calculate 200 Euros per fine, average). This example is valid for the whole 800 radar detectors network in Spain.

Media are covering the event.


I will keep you posted

:thumbsdown:

Kind regards
