Missy Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have been sent this from a relative in France...>>>The truth about speed camerasBe warned!Few days ago on France 2, this little bit of info came about, which makes one think …On a jolly tone the reporter showed a speed camera somewhere near Clermont-Ferrand, which had been out of action for at least 3 weeks.Why?Because EDF cut off its supply for an unpaid bill! Really funny!!But what is more interesting, as the journalist explained, is that the company which looks after this camera did not pay on time its electricity bill…A company?… running and looking after these cameras?…Is it not the State looking after them?If one thinks of it, it means that people are getting fat on these speed fines drivers have to pay and the money far from going to the Government, which would be a lesser evil, goes in part to some private pocket!One can only suppose that – as no private enterprise is a philanthropic organisation - they are proportionally interested to the profitability of theses cameras.Speculation on the safety of the road system – now that is something new!The government did not tell the public any such thing when it launched its campaign on the many benefits of these cameras…It is not only about safety on the road but also profit! To crown it all, the director of this enterprise is none other than the brother of the minister Gilles de Robien.If this does shock you, do tell your friends, it needs to be known.And if the facts are known, isn’t that in correlation with a sudden stop in the deployment of more of these infamous camerasAfraid of a new scandal ?<<<<<Makes you think!... Now you know...Safe driving!!!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vraititi<P>PSG till I die -fluctuat nec mergitur.<P> Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 If there were to be a scandal in France every time a spot of nepostism or a few lies are uncovered, gosh, the country would be on its knees. For that sort of scandals, consult the informative and humourous Canard Enchaîné and Marianne (both weeklies), both excellent (at small doses), they are full of political and social scandals, outcries and the likes. But the truth of the matter is that corruption is so rife in France that hardly anybody bats an eyelid now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
