The $1300 speeding ticket...

[Lou Girardin]

It's called the shotgun approach and means his hours quota was filled in one stop.
$1300 for chicken shit offences is just plain sickening.
However, the 70km/h limit for learners is absolute, nothing to do with open road or not.
Get a lawyer. It'll be worth a $100 or so to try and get the fines reduced.

Relax

I find Hitchers grammer corrections amusing as does everyone else, its one of those harmless funs that we have every now and again

And you might actually learn some grammar and proper spelling!!

Given this anytime anywhere stuff, that's why I never break the posted speed limit and if I'm unsure of the zone, I always default to a 50km zone speed just to be safe.

When approaching a higher speed zone, I never speed up till after the sign, and likewise when approaching a lower speed zone, I slow down before the sign.

No speeding tickets to-date with my bike or car.

I rang the police today they said the 70kmh will not be dropped unless its an emergency BUT they said its only 50 demerits in total (the 90kmh offence) (demerits is what I'm mainly worrying about), so now its ALL my savings taking the hit heheheh.

Yeah I have decided to just pay up and keep the olds out of it (they will kill me if they find out), I know it is alot but I can just manage... just get it out of the way.
I don't have time for legal fluff etc... not much of a battler (sorry guys ) I want to end this now.

Thanks for all you guys support... it has been wonderful and to anyone else in this situation - good luck and battle it hard!

I think I have learned my lesson ....

An expensive way to learn it but one that had to be learned

Nice attitude, good balance. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
And good work on actually having savings. Keep yer folks out of it unless you can't manage it all yourself - and then pay them back if you have to - cause that's better than letting this shit snowball.
They will respect you more for being up front than they will be down on your 'error'.
If you can handle it all yourself - tell them after you have sorted it anyway. The same will apply.

As Big Dave says, nice attitude. And better luck for the future

Don't speed in 50kph zones. There's too much going on most of the time. Save it for the 'open' open road if you must.

[avgas]

no L plate and exceeding license condiontions are the same fine - so ask for it to be so. If they do you twice for the same thing, its called harassment apparently.
i still think he went a bit awol for your first offence being over $1K.....must have been collection day, i got hit like that.
As for the grammer correction earlier......
Your being just silly, cos she said to me so........................sorry but it did happen.

well. think about it this way....you pay up now. they buy more flash speed detection equipment and more cars and more cops... with YOUR money. And then what is going to happen next time you get pinged?

Oh and the moment you go pay your fine, you will have admitted your libility. There will be no chance of getting your demirit points reduced...

Quote "fueling the cycle"

But for the record, I do believe 90km in a 50 Zone is way too fast....

[mikey]

for my dangerous driving, failign to stop, no licence, no rego, no warrant, speeding over 100 in a 50 zone, an failign to stop again,

(couldn do me for having no L plates or riding after 10pm)
cause i had no lincence

i spoke to my granpa an he says back in my day we walked 5 milesto school anwarmed our feet in cow shit,

then said town is goign off what ius anyone doing on kb?

oh an i got off,

[Posh Tourer :P]

so tell me, why do i ride past a car, but the car passed me?

or even, I passed the car that passed me in the past minute??

When you ride past, you are referring to the relative position and direction of travel of the other car. When the car passed you (or you passed the car, necessitating that you ride past it), you are referring to an action of your own or of the other vehicle. Thus, one is descriptive, and one is an action (adjective and verb??).

[Posh Tourer :P]

Thy request is acknowledged thus...?

Or perhaps thusly?

[Big Dave]

Or perhaps thusly?

indeedy....
