Sounds like BS to me...
Firstly, there would've been plenty of discussion and mention in the
media if this was pending.
Secondly, what employee of the 'Ministry of Trans****t' in their right
mind would send such an email, along with personal views such as
"shock some drivers are going to have when they use this roadway for a
week and get a weeks' tickets BOTH WAYS. Of course your license will
also be recalled for 3 months. Now with the new legislation,
fighting a Speed Camera fine is almost impossible."
Nope, it's fake... for now at least!
