``First thing last Monday morning [July 19]

the very first of our new mobile speed cam

eras was installed outside the new Rouse Hill

town centre, which I could quite easily view

from the window of my office,'' he said.

``Since moving into this office almost two

years ago, I can't recall an accident in this

vicinity not one.

``This section of the new Windsor Road

upgrade that we, the residents of Rouse Hill,

paid for through the purchase of our new

homes is a six-lane road with lay-off lanes

for vehicles turning right or left at this point.

``It could easily be the best section of road in

western Sydney.

``Pity we had to wait so long and fight so

hard to get it constructed, especially when we

paid for it.''

Mr Williams said a few years ago the traffic

at 8am would travel ``at the exorbitant speed

of perhaps three kilometres per hour if you

were lucky''.

``It was the worst congested piece of road in

this country.

``There were over 30,000 vehicles using this

section of road each day compared with only

25,000 using the Great Western Highway at

Wentworthville at the time.

``The point is, why the hell is the government locating mobile speed cameras on

roads such as this, instead of putting them on

our rural roads, where in the past two years

we have seen numerous deaths and serious

accidents occur at a prolific rate.''

He said Boundary Road, Box Hill, where a

P-plater was booked travelling at 153km/h

would be one place a mobile camera should

be installed.

``Or Annangrove Road, where a young driver

was killed after hitting a tree, caused by

speeding.

``I am regularly called on to support lower

ing the speed limits on our rural roads

because a few idiots can't drive responsibly

and the good drivers then have to contend

with lower speed limits.

``Why not install mobile speed cameras on

these roads, catch the dopes abusing the

speed limits and leave the rest of us alone,

including the 2000 or so who have already

been caught travelling at five kilometres

above the speed limit at the front of my office

on Windsor Road?

``The answer is because the government,

which has wasted so many billions of our

hard-earned taxpayers' dollars, needs a few

bob to refill its coffers.

``Be warned: slow down and don't contribute a cent.''
