My First Fine!

[Nima_]

Hey! Guess what, I ran an old lady over, and I got a small fine!

..No, I really got stung for driving my skyline, have to commend the police officer who pulled me over, actually knew his stuff on the R33, smart bloke and well played I must say! He was really polite, and only doing his job, I don't care tbh, it's a 10th of my pay, and he was really nice and we had good old chat, quite a good experience I gotta say, considering I lost $167!

...And then I BUSTED HOME!

[blinko]

Meh i f**ked up my perfect record by coping a 69km in a 60km zone. Ah well

$138 and 3 points

Yeah it's not hard to do, I was sitting on 60k in a 50k zone a couple of months ago JUST down the road from my home. Old habits die hard, stupid 50 zones. Didn't help my brain was on cruise control, you know what it's like driving 50 meters from your house

wow didnt realise people get excited when they get fined, all SAU members be sure to forward your fines to Nima

[Nima_]

Hahaha, no I REALLY hated the fact that I lost money and time, and dignity over it, but meh, I just wanted to share my experience, and lighten things up lol.

WONT DO IT AGAIN SAU SORRY, kidding.

[ctjet]

get used to high powered fines... im on 4 already... 1 speeding and one fine for a canary... rear tyres were chewed hard and i got a fine for having my front left inner tyre bald because of scrubbing... hmm..

Comes to be that the officer who fined me twice for high powered is my cousins 2nd cousin.. haha.. after a few words to him.. all is A.O.K

[eMsta]

3 points for 9 over? It should be 1, i'd contest that

3 points for 9 over? It should be 1, i'd contest that

point structure changed it is also now 25km or over for 1 month suspention

checkout www.vicroads.gov.au

[GTAAAH]

omg are you serious ¬¬, all the fines im recieving here still seem to be 1 point, but that might just be to fill in a field on the corporate fines..

had a look:

Exceed speed limit by 10km/h or more but less than 25km/h = 3 points, so he'd be in the 1 points category

Not much margin for error anymore

so my speedo is going no more than 5km over now

[GTAAAH]

Hmm, they didn't change that to did they? it's still 3 km/h leeway in vic right? ( i know it is in the other states )

[krzysiu]

If it is your first offense, how hard it it to write a letter and get a warning instead?

Anyone done something like that? Or you just went and paid?
