    It's hard to say in this case as the upper limit for speeding fines is 50ks over and you were 64 ks over ... a hard nosed judge may pull your licence ... or maybe just fine you ...

    Did the popo say why he only gave you "exceeding 100kph? It can also be a bit of a holding one ... while they decide if they want to change it ...

    I'd at least talk to a lawyer ..
    The popo said "I need to consider whether I do you for dangerous driving" but came back 10 mins later going "I'm just going to charge you with exceeding 100kph".

    First cop didn't blue light or chase.
    I stupidly assumed he hadn't seen me.
    I should have hopped off the motorway.

    He was pissed off with me but was a GC. Bike instructor too...

    (Haven't read this or your other thread in full)

    But one would assume if you admitted to the speed on the side of the road, the officer can use this as evidence against you.

    Went with the friendly "fuck - well, if that is what I was doing, all I can do is apologise".

    Agree with these two, it's not like you have committed a murder and there is a shit load of evidence to collate for both defense council and prosecution before the crime goes to trial. It's a traffic infringement, and by the time you get to court, the Judge will have already decided your fine.

    I'm in court for exceeding 100. I'm not being charged with anything else. I was doing 164 on a motorway.
    I don't know much about the legal world but if I was caught doing 164 and was being charged for doing 100 I would turn up at court with a big cheese eating grin, sit down and take it. What I wouldn't do is start a number of conversations on the internet where I admit to doing 164 as I would be a bit worried that when I turn up in court the charges suddenly include the words 'dangerous' and any defence is fucked whether I do it myself or pay for someone as I have already admitted it.

    No doubt senior Police will eventually track down the cop who gave you the ticket, drag him in and discipline him meaning he won't be letting anybody else off in the future either.

    Win win for the internet.

    The judge won't even have to think, pleading guilty to a traffic offense will just result in the default punishment (which is easily available from the govt website). If you're not being charged under the boy racer act, I fail to see why you are selling your bike.
