speed ticket - no fine
Hi,
Thought I would let you know I got a speeding ticket a $131 fine and 1 point for doing 66 in a 60 zone!
I wrote a letter telling them it had done its job as I always stick to the speed limit now (which I do).
I have received a letter informing me that the fine and point has been dropped.
Well done Australia.

Shall file that bit of info away for a later date, although I am a bit paranoid about not speeding

Let me get this straight - you get done for speeding, you say "sorry guv, I won't do it again. Honest" - and they say "good on ya, no worries, just forget about the fine thingy!"?????
Rock on.

Only about 10k over the limit each time. Wrote a letter saying 'I'm a good boy really' and they let me off one of them. Not both though - booo!They are bloomin' strict though aren't they?! I mean 6km over the limit - that's less than 4mph. Doubt the police over here would bat an eyelid...

Re: speed ticket - no fine
It's the school zones that get me! It's bad enough when you are in a familiar area but in Sydney last week, surrounded by literally hundreds of road signs - bus zones (at certain times only), two and three passenger lanes (certain times only), direction signs, speed limits changing every few yards (sorry, metres) etc etc I drove straght through one at 50kph without even knowing it.
The amount of metal hanging around masquerading as road furniture here is stunning!
