Torrens Creek serious accidents east of Torrens Creek
Dear Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads,
I would like to know in the last 5 years the serious accidents east of Torrens Creek to warrant a speed camera on the edge of town. It detected me doing 90kph in a 60kph zone where as a Melbourne ion I thought I was in the 100kph zone.
Yours faithfully,
Leslie Haighway

Dear Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, I'm very disappointed with your response to the speed camera at Torrens Creek as we all know there have been no serious accidents or deaths to warrant that camera, also putting extra 60kph signs very close to where the camera was shows something not quite right. Me and many other motorists will have to pay the fine because the system is geared for you, it's to expensive to fight it.
Yours faithfully,
Leslie Haighway

Dear Catherine R Troccaz,
Thankyou for your response to my email, I'm still not happy with Tmr's response, as I previously said "if the 60kph sign was there in the first place a great many drivers would have definitely known they were still in the 60kph zone.
I'm waiting now for someone who lives in Queensland to go to court and fight this ( flash for cash) because that's exactly what it is.
Kind regards Les Haighway
Yours sincerely,
Leslie Haighway
