Speeding Tickets - Calling scumdog etc

**Jdogg** · 8th August 2008, 19:04

Hi All,

I was coming back from palmy today, and was getting harassed by some silly driver so I did a quick squirt to get passed (as you do) , and bugger it, a cop got me on laser doing 137ks , Now when he gave me the ticket he said don't look at it now, have a peak when you get home, so I thought great maybe he reduced the speed etc so I get less demerits? BUT when I got home and had a look at the ticket, where you have alleged offense, it had exceeding 100ks and then they are meant to put the fine in opposite this ,but he did not put any fine at all , sooo my question is, since the ticket is incomplete with no fine to pay does this mean the ticket is void, since it is the original I would assume that come 28 days later (or when I send a letter in) there will be no fine to pay therefore no demerit points as how can you enforce payment of a ticket if there is nothing to pay?....Was the copper being a good guy? or did he fuck up??

Any input (apart from the usual slow down rubbish) is much appreciated

i know from personal experience that if the wrong $$ value is put in the box the police infringement bureu wipe the fine, so write in, could be your lucky day pal

Sounds like you just got lucky. Last time I got a ticket with no fee in it it was wiped.

By the way he said not to look at it until you got home it sounds to me like he may have done it on purpose, positive reinforcement and all.

Second that.

Not all cops are bastards... some are good bastards.

Cunning copper , maybe? He's issued the ticket , so it counts for quota. But it's (maybe ?) non enforceable.

He was being a happy policeman. You're lucky man...

His work is done - I'm presuming you rode home on the limit - ie slowed down and in future will nodoubt slow a bit. This I consider good police work if you were not being a dork and endangering others.

A whole different thing if you were doing 87 in a 50 zone eh!

Shit just reading this thread has made me think about my own riding and thinking I'll knock the speed down.

You must give good blowjobs.

Sounds like the worst that could happen is you get convicted of the offence, receive demerit points, but no fine. However that doesn't make sense unless you plead guilty when writing in - and you shouldn't do that. Sounds like a defective ticket - big ups to the cop.

Hopefully it pans out ok, at the end of the day I got one HELL of a fright and it did slow me down I was 100k all the way home, and has made me think of how Ive been driving lately, so mission accomplished. He was a good dude, I hate laser...poor V1 didn't have a chance just nanananana busted
