Hi all...
My girlfriend is a self confessed speed-a-holic and over a period of 2 weeks (about a month back) she copped 3 speeding tickets from Sydney's wonderful tunnel systems (2 in the Eastern Distributor and one in the Harbour Tunnel).
The speeds broken in all three cases lie in the first two brackets.
I am not happy about this, neither is she... all the fines have now arrived and she is very upset and concerned as she did not know about it until she received the first one and I explained that yes there are cameras in all tunnels!
Anyways, the very last one she received was taken on Good Friday (Double Demerits). Total fine was $200+ and 6 points. She received this fine yesterday through snail mail - letter only, no photo or anything - I'm not very cluey with this as I've never copped anything for speeding etc. etc.
Now she is on Green Ps and is elligible for a full liscence. As of now she has 3 points... if she takes this 6 pointer she will be on negative 3 which means loss of liscence. My question is this - if she goes for her full liscence immediately, will she be in the clear as the 6 points will technically come out of her Ps and not her full (I think the points are charged to the day of the offence).
If anyone has a solution or suggestion, I'd like to hear it please... thanks in advance for your time and brainpower
