dam it. now this is my story.
doing 105 ish down a big steep hill just before the awakino gorge some place starting with M but anyway this hill three lanes down hill anyway saw the 50klms temp for road works but rounded a gentle right and pinged at 81 klms not more than 100m in the zone. $300 plus 40 merit points.
I was real nice to the man but he hit me anyway.
so I recon I was real hard done by this time but is it worth writing to the police and point out the sillyness of it all?
Has anyone here ever got a let off for writing in to the police? if so how did you do it? were you greasing or firm whats the secret?
of shall I just pay up and move on? is a court hearing expensive and how much? If there are any traffic Police listening
F**K UP frankly
I don't think it's worth it. Sometimes shit happens ...
A while ago I was doing 185 klicks to catch my mates - when I realized the car coming towards me was white with blue and yellow stripes ... as I got close he turned his lights on, wagged his finger at me ... turned his lights off and kept going .. another one got me at 114 klicks - did the song and dance and gave me a ticket ..
I figure it balances out ..
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
