Re: I got nicked for speeding.
 
guess who sailed straight through EXACTLY the same place again today, and guess who was sitting there with a speed camera?

Yep you guessed it, and guess who'll probably get hit with double points and fine , yep you guessed right again. I wonder how much i'll get fined if i chop the bush down that the sneaky bastards hide behind.

I'm quite annoyed though cos its a 90k zone that drops down to 70, and ya never stomp on ya brakes to get down to 70 do ya, you just take your foot off the accelerator and slow down but these sods nail you just after the 70 sign.

Aaaaaaaarrrrggggghhhhhh, i don't need fines.

No offence obviously but how piggin stupid can one person be :confused: Have you not heard the expression 'once bitten, twice shy'. No probably about it, you will get double points. If you don't need the fines, don't give the police the opportunity to hand them over. Hope you had your seatbelt on, otherwise you can say goodbye to your licence.

yeah thanks guys, I was being very good and as soon as i saw the 70 sign i slowed down but like i said, you don't jam ya brakes on do ya. you just lift off the accelerator and slow to the required speed. The sneaky copper was sitting just after the 70 sign and probably catching everybody.

I mean come on, hands up those who go straight from 90 to 70 in ten feet.

Hi Jazzy,
I got caught speeding a few weeks ago doing 70 in a 60 zone:eek:. Got fined $100 and 1 point. The worse thing is that i'd just done a job at Sov Island and was driving to Runaway Shopping centre to pay the cheque in the bank and got caught:curse:
I heard today that the police have assigned an extra 700 officers to catching speeding motorists over this easter:blink:So be careful everyone.

Considering you've been done once on the same stretch, then I would have thought you, more than most, would have jammed your brakes, especially on a public holiday when there are more police with speed guns out than ever. They were out by Bilinga, unfortunately for them the traffic was heavy enough for everyone to be bumbling along at 40. Must have been bored rigid.

Well as someone who's been done 3 times and either got or lost 10 points, I can sympathise.

I don't go over 115 now, altho will sit in the middle of a sandwich in rush hour at 120.
