Speeding Fine help!!!

[Brenton_s15]

Trial, you are obviously a newbie. You must take this matter to court.
Rock up in your scungiest jeans and tell the Judge that you are really sorry.

Don't forget to tell him that you have a lot of remorse and that it wasn't really your fault that the other car you hit was being driven by a legally licensed person who was obeying all of the road rules whilst travelling on the same street as you were when you crashed into it. Remind him that it would be unfair of him to hold you responsible for the behaviour of your two drunk mates, even if you were drunk and they punched the lights out of some innocent bystanders who saw you crash into athe nother car, before you all tried to do a bunko and flee from the scene of the accident.

Don't forget to tell him that your mum is really upset with you and that you dad is pretty angry, and you think you've learnt your lesson. Tell him that your mum and dad just want to move on from this and start their life a new, without this painfull memory coming back to haunt them. Offer to take a 2 year good behaviour bond and a six month susension of your license for committing such a heynas crime. If that fails, you still have a few options ...

Option 1 ... pucker up, bend over and take it like a Man as Gav suggested...
Option 2 ... Tell him that you dad is a cop!
Option 3 ... Tell him that a precedent has been set <link>

Besides, everyone knows that this should really be a family matter

first mistake was admitting ANY liabilty.
If a cop pulls you over and asks you what speed you were doing, it's the speed limit. No matter what he says.
Don't argue but don't accept the fine unless they tell you how they recorded it. Then ask them to show you the recording. If they can.. then you go down.
If they can't/won't then get on the mobile right away and call the cops.
If you call in and tell the chick on the line you suspect your being pulled over by someone pretending to be a cop they will have someone out asap.
If the guy pulling you over is a real cop, well then all of a sudden he's going to have some one watching what he's doing. This will make it harder for him to rape you (but not impossible)

I have been pulled over and had my speed questioned.. the answer is always "speed limit"

Have you actually tried this.........

In answer to the original question. If you are relying on A or B, forget it.

Get a proper traffic lawyer to fight it, but it'll cost you $2K.

Judging by what you've told me, he HAS no evidence and the 140km/h figure was the max speed he reached in order to reach you. Go to court, ask for his video evidence and it'll be dismissed, HOWEVER, you admitted to 15k's over so be prepared to cop that on the chin.

aha this thread is awesome- that's a line and a half;
And the mspaint by wobbly was top notch-- surely we can all contribute further and perhaps make this pool room material :worship:

if your mum is out giving the almighty canary each night you might have just had a bit of karma come back your way though mate :cry:

I did the one full year on 1 point with my car having over 350 ponies at the fly, so i guess you're gonna have to bite the bullet :knock:

EDIT: btw as for fighting it and winning, as someone said get a good traffic solicitor; a mate of mine in brisbane got pulled over after they witnessed him doing 160km/h he deserved to lose his license, but surely got off none the less

[ALLMTR]

The big question is then, will the cop admit to doing 140 in a 70 zone with NO lights and NO sirens on, and NOT being a priority 1 driver?

No no no. The big question is will the magistrate give a flying f*ck about what the cop was doing....

[08ESE]

a mate of mine on a bike has got off 2 times on a FOLLOW SPEED fine. He wrote a letter to the police, complained of the officers attitude ( he isnt allowed to say BULLSHIT ) and that there was no way he was doing the accused speed.

got a letter back saying sorry, and the fine was revoked.

Cops never used to be allowed to do anymore than 40kmh over the limit.... have the rules changed? I doubt it, thats why u got pinned for 110 in a 70 zone..... 70+40=110... i got pulled over doing 180+ in a 100 zone about 12 years ago, i thought the cop was doin me a favor when he put the ticket down to 140..... bullshit.... he was covering his own ass.






I would have given u the benefit of the doubt, untill i saw you were in a VS clubby...... instant guilt when it comes to driving foolishly

:p

Once it hits 4 pages ill do a nice big revised schematic of the situation.

I think a lawyer is going to be the only way to really suss this out

so when the lawyer asks you "how fast were you actually going" - what are you going to say?

[NISMOgemini]

"how fast were you going"
'85ish? (70 zone)'
"bullshit mate, we were doing 140 and you were pulling away from us"
'are you sure? i wasnt really looking at the speedo, just watching the road, i swear i was only doing about 85??'
'step out of the car'

thast where u fucked up.

who in there right mind would say that if they wernt infact doing a massive speed. cos u can sure as hell estimate what your doing with out lookin at the speedo

================================================== ==

side note

That 's because police are 'trained observers'. They are taught how to do these things, we are not. The fact that they can lie or be otherwise wrong is seldom a consideration.

one would think..

my mother unfortunatly is only a newbie too, been in the force about 3 months, and as a result isn't too clued up on the whole process. Im just looking for people who have been through this before.

LOL!

[TRIAL]

that wasn't an exact transcript of my conversation, i actually said

"i have no idea, when i looked at my speedo, it was 85, then i went back to watching the road"

or something along those lines anyway.
