$30 speeding infringement notice

[SMOKEU]

I just received a letter from the pigs giving me a $30 infringement notice for going 56kmh in a 50kmh zone. I wasn't aware that I could actually get stung for that. I always travel at that sort of speed in 50kmh areas provided it's safe to do so and have never been caught.

Anyone else here been snapped for that?

I laughed when I saw "Safer communities together" on the bottom of the letter. Like sending someone a $30 speeding tax is really going to make the roads safer...

The letter says the location was on Barrington St "in the vicinity of Cashmere High School" so if you see a camera van there then smash it up.

The limit is 50 so of course you can get done for it muppet ( I may have also got one like that a while back)

I thought that they had an 11kmh tolerance or something like that.

People who speed should be shot for needlessly endangering every other road user in their immediate vicinity.

10% tolerance is more like it.

No, used to be 10km/h but certainly they are toughening up, especially in built up areas and schools are now usually 40km/h during drop-off and pick-up times. You may get away with 4km/h over but don't count on it these days.

I use my GPS for speed and set my cruise control at no more than 104 on the open road. Speedo is about 5km/h out so I asume most driver's speedos are reading about 110 to match my pace. In town I'm all eyes!

I think you'll find that it is a discretionary tolerance up to and including 10km over the limit. It's not a de facto +10 speed limit.

6kmh over the speed limit in good weather conditions on a good road with good visibility shouldn't be a crime. So back the point of my original post, does anyone here know what the actual tolerance for speeding is?

I've seen in the media that on public holidays the speeding tolerance is reduced to 5kmh, but then what is the original tolerance before that?

Nah I got one for the same speed.
The stupid thing (well me really) was I always go reasonably slow down this particular road as 1. there is a primary school & it's close to a sharp corner & 2. there is quite often a cop sitting there waiting to ping ya ( & rightfully so- it's a busy stretch of road)
Somehow my mojo wasn't working that morning.

Lately I have been abused by tail gaters as I legally sit at (or slightly below) the speed limit. So yep those tickets do work

Best official comment has been up to 9km/h on the open road but not always as it is up to the officer to decide, but clear warnings that during long weekends and holidays, 4km/h max. You WILL be ticketed for more than 4km/h over no arguments!

Actually ... if stopped by an officer ... the tolerance is 4km's ...


A speed camera's tolerance is zero.

So what's more dangerous, an SUV driver txting while driving or a motorcyclist going 6kmh over the limit? I'm more likely to fuck myself up than a cager.

There is a 50k zone around where i live that used to be 80k. I would say 80% of people still do 80. Some guy wasn't happy with me doing 60 and was tailgating me so i slowed down to 50 and he overtook me and took a swipe at me with his ute as he passed. Cops used to pull a few people over when the limit changed now there are no cops to be found.
