Nice to hear Alan. As you say there must have been some error if you didn't get the image as I now understand it must be provided....or maybe that's NSW. So confusing, so many anti speed camera campaigns.

I was caught doing alleged 109kph in a 100kph zone on the Westgate Fwy just before Christmas. That was very generously rounded down to 107kph.

For me to do that, I would need a speedo indicated speed of 115kph or slightly over!! I dont mind opening my car up but stuff doing anywhere like that, I go way way out in the middle of nowhere!

Decided to write a polite letter to the issuing officer and received a reply informing me that it was obvious a clear offence had been committed but they would waive the fine and 1 point, so I didnt have to pay.

I still to this day doubt it was me speeding but I didnt get the picture incase it was marked as an admission of guilt.

By all means enforce 40/50kph zones but a freaking 100kph zone on a freeway in broad daylight, good weather, not mega busy and well surfaced.

UK has 10% + 3 tolerance and only puts cameras in areas that are non national speed limit i.e 50mph, 40mph or 30mph zones as it should be IMO. Traffic cops police the speed limited roads

This was my first offence too.

So the moral is, fight it. >_<

A serious reply...I didn't prepare for that one :P

I don't think there's much point in me challenging this...The only thing in my favor is a spotless record prior to this fine....the marked speed was 60km/h by the way...so 1 point and a ~$140 fine...

I'm not saying I was speeding, because I can't remember, but apparently I was....I might consider contesting it in a letter...How did you find the issuing officers mailing address? Is it on the fine? (I haven't had a good look at the fine yet)

Will get you the details later mate but basically there is a link on the fine to the website and a section for making complaints/contesting on the site. I addressed it the officers name on the fine on the actual letter and this GPO box on the envelope.

There is a rumor that first offences are overlooked upon appeal if the speed is low (not sure of cut off point) which was the only reason I contested. I also sent it recorded delivery and offered to attend any station for a character assessment incase they thought I was some hoon.

Spewing I missed out on a cool pic of the Evo from the back though >_<

Took about 2.5 weeks to come through from my date of appeal. I also didnt pay the fine but they stated it would be refunded if I had.

GTRGeoff - I didnt ask for the pic, they said one was available though. :laugh:

Your right Geoff :P

You can ask to see the pic, i think you have to pay though... not sure exactly on the paying point.

nsw u dont from memory, my mum got sent a letter with a pic of a camira with a number plate that wasnt clear at all.. it was going over syd harbour bridge n yet she was in adelaide at the time. i dunno how a mazda6 looks like a camira anyway?

always ask for a pic. it puts pressure on them n if they didnt keep a record of it its their loss n the fine will b dropped

if u have never had a ticket before then yes u can... and u will more then likely get a warning instead.

my boss does it... he got off his last 2 because he had never had any infringements in his life

Have given Dezz some of the details from my letter so hopefully it pays off.

Ash, that is the place, yep. I didnt bother viewing mine though as by the time I had either got down to the building or requested the pic via mail and then appealed, it would have gone over the required payment date.

I got a letter back which was a warning and saying that speed limits are there for a reason (safety not revenue according to the letter!) :P

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
