Is it possible to get out of a speeding ticket with these errors:

[Str8 Jacket]

Working for the MOJ I just have to shut up and pay up. Or lose my job, wish I had a "choice". I just dont get some people though if you were pulled over then you know you got a fine why not just pay it? I mean I know it pisses you off that you got caught but it annoys me when people get of tickets based on "technicalities" when I dont get a choice (for a pull over offence).

[The_Dover]

they're pretty bloody easy for any literate person to fill out

Bingo!

ten fucking characters my arse

[Badcat]

Don't listen to these buffoons who say 'pay the fine'. Allowing police officers to get away with issuing infringement notices with incorrect details on them sets a poor precedent. The forms are there for a reason, and they're pretty bloody easy for any literate person to fill out. If the ticketing officer was so stupid he couldn't read the text in the boxes that said "speed limit", "alleged speed" and "registration", how can you be sure the myopic twit was reading the display on his speed radar properly?

DM is totally right.
they can't enforce with that incorrect notice.
simple as that.

As much as doing 84 kph in a 50 kph zone is stupid (how many of us have never done it, now be honest ) I think you stand a good chance.

As stated prevoius the tickets are so easy to write out an educated monkey could get it right

[MrMelon]

Yeah I reckon you've got a good chance of getting it dropped if you write the PIB a nice polite letter pointing out the errors. If they can't even get the particular's on the ticket right, then perhaps they'll decide the ticket's invalid. Fair's fair. It's not like you've got anything to lose if they tell you to stick it. Just don't let it get to court then start fighting it there cos you'll get shafted.

[spudchucka]

Write a letter, you've got nothing to lose.

[loosebruce]

Chances are that they filled it out incorrectly known you would prolly get off, but it put the shits up you in the first place right? And maybe it's made you think twice about speeding in 50K areas? maybe!
5 more minutes and you were looking at another $400 as well hahahaha.

Loose gravel on Kohi Rd, hmmmmmmmm

Loose gravel on Kohi Rd, hmmmmmmmm

Not really mate... came round there fairly hot the other night at around midnight, almost lost it eh.... wasn't any bloody signs around!

[skidMark]

i now seem to hold up traffic by sitting at 49 kph rather than flying past it...after this i have toned my riding down alot i must admit

[Maha]

Heard on the radio the other day that some bloke got pulled over for speeding and his plate read.....NOPL8T.....which was written correctly in the approriate spot on the ticket, needless to say he did not receive a fine cos, how can a fine be sent out when a computer fails to think like a human..... brilliant................

[SwanTiger]

noting i had to take a corner extremely late because of loose grevel....so had to power hard out of it...thus i was going like hell if i hadn't accelrated out i woulda been sliding down the road on my ass..

Mark, thats not what you told us in the Chat Room.

Just accept it, you were doing a rediculous speed in a RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD with a clearly marked and well known MAXIMUM speed limit of 50 kmp/h. 60 - 65kmp/h is understandable but over 80 kmp/h ...

Just pay the ticket and learn your lesson.

[Zapf]

I just think the officer might be in an alternate state of mind that shift and was incapable of operating equipment (radar / laser) and was demonstrated by their incapability to follow instructions on how to fill in a notice properly....

ermm... might have a case here.

[chickenfunkstar]

I can't see the harm in writing a letter. Don't say about there was loose gravel so you had to go faster though...

Let us know how you get on. I've got off a ticket without spending any money on lawyers. Can be done.

[zeRax]

hope you dont get off it you fuck ;]

[inlinefour]

Just a thought, but did your parents mention personal responsibility to you when you were a young fella? Not trying to be mean, but your fate really is up to you.

Its all about cause and effect. You did the crime and now you need to pay the consequences (the fine). Its time you just take it as a lession in life, change your lifestyle to improve yourself and move on. At least thats what I did when I was your age and got busted for doing a wheelie through town. I knew I did it, so I paid the fine and then used the back roads...
