Don't forget that if you decide to go to court only to lose you will also have to pay court costs just to defend yourself so your $120ish fine doubles pfft.
I got pulled up with my rego out a week and he said just go buy it. Also had a reflector covering the bottom of the Z on my plate, he told me to take it off otherwise it's a $150 fine. Something the previous owner had on there.
Still haven't been let off a speeding ticket though

Got another one, my bro got done for no seatbelt out in the middle of nowhere going between farms in a ute. About a 2 k journey.If he had the ute on e plates he would have been allowed to have no seatbelt but it was registered fully. Funny he doesnt even need a WOF if on e plates so doesnt even need to be safe and yet no seatbelt required copper couldnt see relevance of his argument. Ka ching $150 thanks.

That is because speeding is a compound. You were breaking the rules AND were not observant enough to not get caught AND there was supporting evidence.Don't forget that if you decide to go to court only to lose you will also have to pay court costs just to defend yourself so your $120ish fine doubles pfft.

Speeding is generally a wilful act.
Missing reg by a few days or a badly placed reflector are normally more ignorance type issues. Getting you to do the right thing with a friendly warning achieves more over time than ticketing everyone they talk to.

The one and only purpose of the Rozza is to police the law. They have no mandate to educuate, inform or train, all they do is prosecute lawbreakers. Its the government who set the standard and are the problem. What’s even worse in this case, the Rozza are not even enforcing the law, but traffic regulations. They are the new rat (tax) catchers, once they were the cornerstone of western society now days they provide little more to society than the other animal control officers, building inspectors and parking orifices.
I'm sure the Rozza don't like doing traffic duty but its part of their job these days. IMHO the govt do see the police as an income stream, as the new road tax collectors. I am surprised if there is not some form of push back from the Police about this.
If you want to stuff the system up just challenge every speeding ticket we get in court. Or we can stfu and pay our tax.

Unless you have changed the gearing on your bike (for example the front or rear sprockets) I challenge you to go out there and find a bike or car built in the last 20 years in which the clock is reading low. The manufactures intentionally have them reading high by a small margin.

Got a 2006 Mitsi ute that reads high.

Typical, assume your the one in the right and know enough to judge. God help us...That right there tells me all I need to know about you.

Yes it is, but it is also sometimes safer to do so which is one of the reasons hidden speed cameras should not be used.
If I'm traveling up a motorway and all of the traffic around me is doing 110Km/h I would rather hold my place in the flow of traffic. If the area is being patrolled traffic flows at the posted speed limit.

So you have just proved my point haven't you. If your clocks saying 100Km/h your actually a little under it.
Best Frenemy you could have!
Just sold my 2003 Holden Commodore Ute that read low. Weird, because as far as I knew, things like wheels were all factory. It was about 2-4kph low at any given speed. Re-inforced my opinion of checking every vehicle with GPS to make sure I knew where I stood.

Sorry meant to read low....clock reads a lower speed than the 'your speed' signs indicate.
Que?
Geees you wern't at the front when they were handing out smarts, eh?

With the 0 tolerance, people will be spending plenty of time looking at the sides of the road, parked people-movers, etc, etc. I wonder if there is less speeding but more rear-end accidents because of this?
Imagine being assigned clint rickards to look after your family...
It was obviously a hazardous area. The cop might have done a U-turn in front of you!I got a ticket on a deserted road in outback Mid Canterbury. Ticket was for 96 ks with a bike trailer on.
This was at 6.30am in the morning with not one other car on the road. Actually there was one, the cop car!
Where the hell is the justification with that one???

Yep, same here. I do though keep an eye out for reasons to slow down. Not just power past unmarked vans.
I'd be dead by now if I stuck to a hundred religiously on Auckland motorways. Especially if that was indicated speed.
