I got nicked for speeding.
 
I got a letter through the door the other day saying i'd been caught speeding. I have been fined a hundred dollars and got one point on my licence.

Whats to stop me putting the point on my UK licence?

It has gone onto your Aus licence, ,based on your rego.
You dont have an option here.

They sure do. And the killer thing about those auto fines in the post is that the soulless ******* cameras do not really discriminate between 9Kph over and 12kph over (the diff between 1 point and 3 points)

At least if you get stopped by a decent constable, they will cut you some slack and write you down for a 1 pointer even if you may have been several over the 10k cutoff. That has happened to me before and it was much appreciated !

My OH did too - 8km's over the speed limit.....

They don't ask for your licence to be sent with the fine do they? So they must record them electronically......
