If you don't know the story ($1300 ticket thread here) (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=11024&highlight=%241300+ticket) but in my hot little hands I have a cheque for $110 from THE NEW ZEALAND POLICE :rofl: :rofl:

What a weird feeling. :beer:

Anyone know why they have given me money back? I have added up the offences on the ticket.. it was $1300 which I payed the correct amount etc - John suggested it was an 'early payment' bonus.

And uhhh... as if I'm going to enquire about this either :whistle:

Must be because the dollar is doing well against the US again.

Just take the money and run, don't ask questions or you might not like the answers you get.

A friend of mine was caught at 118kays on expressway at Tauranga (80 zone) and it cost him about $400 from memory. He paid up and that was that. 2 months later he got a letter saying that although the area was posted 80kays it was supposed to be posted 100 and they sent him a cheque for the $300 difference and took some of the demerits of his record.

I will be ringing them (took 21 mins last time though :mad: ) but only to check DM's - don't want to arouse any suspicion eh :devil2:

I have pm'd spud and It MIGHT be that they have made 40kmh over the limit $400 instead of $510.... (explains the $110 difference).

I have had a little wee chat with spudchucka and this is how it goes:



Up to 10kph = $30
10 - 15kph = $80
15 - 20kph = $120
20 - 25kph = $170
25 - 30kph = $230
30 - 35kph = $300
35 - 40kph = $400
40 - 45kph = $510
45 - 50kph = $630

The ticket said $510.. the cop was a real noob (eg didn't know about what offences to give me) and probably got it wrong.

It can only be that he thaught 40kmh was $510 instead of $400... that is the only explaination.

All solved now hopefully!

Never drove a cage before I got the bike so I never knew the hidey holes.... of all places it was College hill rd which NOW everyone tells me is a hidey hole for every coppa in the area to (ab)use.

Learn't ma lesson though... :oi-grr:
