Default First Speeding Ticket

Been in Perth just over 3 weeks now, and wondered why everyone said there was lots of police on the roads and speed camera's everywhere. funnily said to my wife yesterday that they must leave the northern suburbs alone, when today ZAP. Blinding flash on Ocean Reef Road. On the way to pick up our house keys, driving my new car for first time, 2 year old started going through the terrible two's and I'm late. Now just have to wait for the postman to deliver the summons or something , telling me how many points they will give me.

No more laid back approach to this. now i have cruise, I'm going to use it or buy a speed camera detector.

Oh dear Chris........ how much over were you???

They are very sneaky here, especially with the handhelds, a friend was done last week doing 89 in a 70 zone and i had a lucky escape yesterday afternoon when one was lurking behind a bush in Winton Rd, i was saved by the person in front sticking to the speed limit!!

Use the cruise

Lost my license to the dreaded speed cameras; a 3 month ban cured my lead foot!

Lynn,
+90 in a 70 zone. Sasha was not impressed. Hope your well. Thanks for the other week in the park. really helped us settle in. Moving into new house tommorrow, so busy times. just trying to get broadband installed, but its going to take a week or so, so wont be on line until then. Good if we can catch up again.

Careful with the detector, they are illegal in alot of states. You can get into more trouble for this than speeding!

2 points and $150, a slap round the head for being an idiot and a larger than usual shopping bill the next time Sasha hits the shops.... oh and i think after blaming the kids you can forget a fathers day pressie too

Glad you enjoyed the other week, we will be doing it again soon hopefully, i will let Sasha know when!

Leave the driving to us girls from now on we are much more restrained
