Getting Off A Speeding Fine..

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

OK well then your forgiven

Are you telling me you need to get your speedo calibrated as soon as you drive out of the showroom, dont be ridiculous.

Almost every speedo out of the show room will not be 100% accurate.

Normally the speedo will indicate a speed higher then what you are actually travelling.

I believe it to be a subliminal safety measure.

I have heard this also

It is law that your speedo can be out within 10 percent. I've had a previous car calibrated.

That is half right. Your speedometer can read up to 10% faster than the actual speed but cannot read slower.

mate dont listen to anyone and fight it. court fees are like $50 so who gives a damn if you lose.

youd b suprised how lenient judges can be. and for 3km over the limit, i would be veryyyy suprised if the judge didnt throw it out for u.

friend got caught driving an unregistered car (recieved a $1500 fine), went to court, pleeded a section 10 (i think) and got off without having to pay a cent.

moral of the story $50 court fee is well worth the risk. worsttttt case scenario you wil be down another 50bux.

good luck dude, and im sure youl b fine

No, that is one of the better scenarios. Worst case scenario is that the penalty that can be issued by a court is subtantially higher than that issued by police on the roadside.

Annoy the magistrate with a trivial court appearance and it can turn sour.

Roll the dice.

At the magistrates discretion the fine can be increased.

I know.

its 3km/hr over, which would be wat an 81$ fine?. what the hell r they gonna increase his fine to?

mate personally ide definately argue it, im sure ur more concerned with the points then the actual Fine, so why not argue it

The fine actually can change quite a bit depending on discretion, which depends on the judge.

Not sure if you can find the law online, it will be in law books

I agree with a previous poster, if you go to court its like rolling a dice, if the magistrate is having a good day you'll be fine, if not then it may not end so well...

Old radar guns- law had a 10% leaniency to recorded speed & due to speedo variation of vehicles

New guns are Lidar, use light spectrum analysis to detect speed and have a high degree of accuracy, error margin is less than 5%, 3% I think

The only way around is as previously stated, A Judge in good mood or possibility of the charge becoming a civil matter in which no points are lost but fine increases. Not sure whether this law has been amended, but worth ago-maybe?

In any case speak to a lawyer unless someone on here is a Judge/Lawyer/Police Prosecutor

I would still just pay the fine & take it on the chin as my f*kup as p*ss*ng on the cops will get you nothin but grief-sorry to be blunt
