Non-instant fines

[R6_kid:Me]

How much were you taxed and how far over the speed limit were you? Please only post fines that are not issued road side, and only fines that relate to speeding.

I just got hit for $780 for my 59kmh over jaunt back in November 06.

Just last week ...

$400 for 36km over limit

Weird little bit of road, its in a 50k zone but has a passing lane, which only then becomes a 70 about 100m up the road.

But the thing is, cop didnt get a lock on his radar so he couldnt show me the alleged speed, but he said " i dont have to", and wrote out ticket anyway.

A letter has been written anyway so will see what happens

that was a roadside issue sorry :|

$1000 plus 9 months loss of licence plus $130 court costs, plus $800 work licence, plus $4000 in lawyers fees. for what.. 140km/h over the limit (240 in a 100), anyone would think I was Clint Rickards but he got off.

Total $5930

Do I win a prize?

Edit... I forgot to add that I then (as a result of the above so should count) got done for Driving contrary to a limited licence condition, which landed me 40 hours community service (how do you put a monetary value on that) another $130 court costs, and another $800 lawyer bill. So now its up to $6860.. surely thats a winner?

Ouch thats gotta hurt. Did you get in alot of trouble with St Johns? I have a feeling they wont accept me for 2 years. Or until my fine gets wiped.

does it count Bruce's $150 2nd notice for riding on a slick that he said he didnt get a ticket for that arrived in the post the other day? either he was cheeky and didnt tell me he got a ticket or the cop posted the original ticket instead of giving it on the spot....
cheeky boy!

Hmm maybe you could in memory of Bruce not respond and let them sue him and/or issue a warrant for his arrest etc.
I am sure he of all people would appreciate that after having had a few brushes with the law for riding offences.

It's over 2 years ago now, but I got charged $300 and 40 points for overtaking at 132 in a passing lane, after following a slow-moving, fume-belching 4WD for about 15 minutes. Didn't even see the Polis - he was parked off to the side in a lay-by, and took about 10 km to catch up to me, even though I dropped back to 100km/h as soon as I'd passed the behemoth.
Now - quick quiz:
Which was more of a safety hazard - me overtaking at excessive speed in a passing lane, or a cop car with lights on on a busy road, trying to catch up to me for 10 km?

I know "the law's the law", but given that (once upon a time) the main purpose of the laws were road safety, this is not at all logical.

Couldn't you have just saved yourself a lot of money and said you were guilty - or weren't you?

Nearly - it's all the poo he got into on a bike...

I was thinking of the same thing! lol
I reckon he would have a hell of a laugh about that one!

Couple years back I got done for 73km/h over the limit (state highway, no traffic, good visibility), I got about $650 fines (the minimum for dangerous driving) and 6mths loss of licence. About 10yrs ago I got caught doing in excess of 200km/h (actual speed was clost to 250km/h) but he didn't get a lock on me, was based of his account of doing 200km/h and I was pulling away from him, received closer to $1100 in fines for that one, along with the standard 6mths walking.

Lesson learnt, now I try not to put myself in that position instead have fun below 140km/h through the twisties and the hills. Not to say I'm perfect, just wiser. And I go out to the track to blow the cobwebs out, for $50 for the afternoon its mucho cheaper.

That's just nasty.
I feel OK about my $880 for 166 in a 100. Only got the mandatory 28 days walking at the time of the ticket.
I must have looked like I was doing a safe job of it because the nice policeman didn't tick any of the nasty boxes, like dangerous use, careless use, etc.
How can you ride carelessly at 166km/h? I love my bike and my life so I was concentrating like a motherf$%ker at the time.
