Speed camera photo with another vehicle in it. Can I get off?

[C.Linnell]

Of course! We're bikers!

And proud of it!

But yeah, that's my point. This is just about "how does one get off fines". It's an interesting problem-solving task, and since it's a small fine, messing about has little impact.

The inexpensive fines are worth playing out in my opinion. They are good for trying shit on to see if you can get off it. If it goes all pear-shaped, its still not a lot of money.

Pear shaped ... you mean when ... it ends up in court ... where you're found guilty ... the $30 fine is upped ... plus lawyers fee's and court costs ...

$30 to ... bugger all change from $500 ...

Go for it guys ... its (as DB pointed out) YOUR money ...

I won't pay his fine. I returned both his notices after writing CANCELLED and NO CONTRACT across them. If he tries to approach me again in writing I will revoke all implied consent and forbid him or his agent to approach me in writing or otherwise. If he or his agent attempts to contact me further, I will file a legal document in the courts alleging harassment. He won't win.

Welcome back DB. Since you've been away we've been running very short on ludicrous bush-lawyer advice, thanks for making up for it so quickly.

It hasn't been the same without you buddy.

I must admit, I'm curious as to how it would play out...

[QUOTE=Old Steve;1129999837]January 2nd, I went for a ride around the Rotorua lakes. Mid January, Igot a camera speed ticket for doing 85 in an 80 km/hr zone (4 km/hr tolerance over the holiday period).

Didn't know a Hyo whatever could do 85

I guess I was lucky in that Harley (and my particular Suzuki) seem to have placed the speedo in a place where a mere flick of the eye lets you see where the needle is.

You soon learn where the relevant numbers are so it's just a matter of noticing where the needle is, no need to 'read' the speed.

My bike has this from the factory . A white line at 30mph . Unfortunantly chronometric speedos tend to jump in 5 mph increments lol , especially when its cold .
I can remember when I was in Perth a similar situation on tv . The coppers showed their computer that could sharpen up the image if it was blurry , just like in the movies

What I fail to understand is why is the bike out of focus, but not the car? Surely the camera focal point is where it it gets the reading? In which case, the bike is not the offender.
