Hey guys,
I'm very curious about something... the other night I was on my way to buy a HDD from someone and saw a flash as I went over a traffic light intersection, anyways, I thought I had gone over it as it turned red as I was looking all over for street names as I was not 100% sure where I should be going...
SO, I received a fine today, it's for the same place, but dated before I went out that night to get the HDD. It's for doing 60km/h in what I thought was a 60km/h zone, but it turns out it's 50km/h, and to be absolutely honest I thought it was a 60km/h zone and I can almost swear that I don't see any signage referring to speed limit leading up to that speed camera, but that could just be me, and I may need to take a drive up there to make sure, hence I'm asking here do I have any contest here? Or was I just retarded and not reading the signs 100% like I should, or is there a blanket speed limit for any city-like area?
More specifically, the location of the camera is here (Williams St/Flinders St).
Seeing as I have fine #2 certainly on it's way, that's 6 points - I have no idea about the demerit system as it's not really my intention to ever have deal with it, so how does this work? From what I know, there's a total of 12 maximum demerits, and after that it's license suspension? I obviously have hefty finage to now pay, which is shit enough. How long do demerits last for before they expire?
Thanks for your help, please no sarcasm or griefers, don't really need that right now.
