So what alternatives do you suggest. Maybe loss of licence?

Likewise you cannot say it isn't "money grabbing" or "revenue raising" . The state governments rely on this income so much that they are now booking people for being 1 km/hr over the limit which is rediculous given the error that speedometers are permitted to have from manufacture. Maybe a three strikes rule before you loose your licence would be a better penalty. Every driver has sped at least once in their driving time, it is a human error thing the government banks on.
I lost respect for the whole safety argument when Victoria Police decided to stop booking people a while back to gain their 19% pay rise, which the Victorian government quickly awarded to start the revenue flowing again
