They are B*******! Just think, you have paid for their doughnuts and coffee!

Yup!

Only yesterday I went and got my Queensland driving licence and altho I've moved home twice since my 1st ( ) speeding fine, I was told it will transfer ...

Along with the other one ...

121kph in a 110kph - $150 and 3 points (I asked about 10% for speedo inacuracy and the copper laughed! ...lol)

140kph in a 110kph - $250 and 4 points (no excuse)

All on for 3 years! ...

NOT proud, and certainly not clever, but both times on an empty (as good as) motorway!

I kinda hoped the moves would lose one of them, but they're linked to the UK driving licence so no getting away.

I need a 'cruise control' ...

I once got done whilst driving bk from the cinema at about 12.30am! It was a 90km zone and i set cruise control to 90'ks and as i was going down a slight dip it sped up a bit! Got done for 97k!

Yes cruise control is a blessing over here, but still think we could cruise a little higher than the present limits over here, you could almost walk to work faster which is why some of us have been caught and are not ashamed to admit it despite the 'holier than thou' element of some fellow posters.

maybe going downhill with the wind behind it!!

You should be safe then as they have a habbit of sitting at top of hills where they know people are having to put a few revs on to get there car up the hill... .

Speeding kills, kill your speed not a child.

There are enough idiot drivers on these shores already without importing more.

Enough idiots, that's for sure.

Children should be taught the danger of crossing the road in front of cars and the resulting damage to themselves like we were years ago.

If you play with cars it's obvious you are going to come off worse.

Did children not get hit by cars years ago

You know this dosen't even warrant an answer because its a pathetic excuse to justify speeding.

WTF are you saying??? If a child gets hit then it is their fault???

(Shakes head in utter disbelief)

My OH just received a notice tonight - $215 and 3 points for going through a red light - 0.9 seconds too late it seems.

He (we) know it was wrong and will pay up but that amount and number of points seems a bit harsh to me! Also crapping myself because I'm pretty certain I've been a bit late through some red lights in the last couple of weeks.

Do all traffic lights have camera's on them? And how many points on your license before you're banned We're not careless drivers, both been driving 15+ years in the UK with no penalty points.

Hello mate it's 12 same as the UK.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope you're well otherwise
