Speeding fines
As well as gas bill, orthodontist bill and a pile of junk today the postman brought a speeding fine!!!!!
Apparently i was doing 69kmh in a 60 zone and now have to pay $131 and have a demerit point.
They are so annoying, hiding behind bushes and parked vans, well they shall wait until the due date for my payment and not get my money a minute sooner than they have to.
Thats my rant for the day over with, good luck fellow drivers

Re: Speeding fines
I feel for you... I got a speeding ticket for doing 69 in a 60 too! 60 just feels soooo slooow... Yes I know that limits are there for a reason before any speed police jump on my back

Do you still have your UK licence??
Hubby got a ticket a few months ago and the cop in the station that I talked to said that as he still has his UK licence they wont follow it up!!
Hubby luckily STILL has his UK licence as he got yet another ticket in the post the other day...64klm in a 60 zone...
Gonna send it back also with his UK licence details on it...
