The Sa Wasteland

[CRoNic...]

pretty much. i think the only reason i got away with only the excess speed charge (and not manner dangerous, speed dangerous, court appearances and whatever the f**k else they thought to throw at me) is because they cant 100% prove i was driving, and i rocked up for an interview or whatever as soon as i possibly could. if i hadve waited for a summons, i probably wouldve been raped.

Yep same. I was done by a camera, got a knock on the door a few weeks later, went down to the shop for a interview but they had about 8 pics of my car but couldn't see who was driving due to the glare on the windscreen from the angle of the car. They could only guess I was driving since I was the owner of the car. But I just co-operated with them which made their job easier, so they let me off much 'easier'.

It's funny actually seeing the picture quality that these radars take... very poor quality. Everything was pixelated to all shit. You could barely even make out my number plate.

I would love to see someone doing a powerskid past a speed camera and getting caught. Be mad repz on ns

prob why they dont give photos anymore, cause then you'd see how dodgy it is.

these days you gota pay fine before seeing the pic aswell which is bs.

not quite.

you can request the proof and then pay the fine. if you get the photo and you can contest it, then you elect to be prosecuted

my photo was actually pretty cool. lol. was probably the clearest speeding photo ive seen.

you still have to pay your fine on its due date wether you get the pic or not, if you dont pay you get slugged with late fee. last 1 i got i requested the pic and it never arrived

if you gota fork out that kinda dollars they could atleast get you a funky action shot for your hard earned money

cat 1. still only a single point. 15-24 is when it starts throwing more points.

[Damo_R34]

yeah your plates are hard to see, could be DONMAR, DONMAN etc. but i guess they go through all possible combinations until vehicle model on the reg system matches the pictured vehicle.

Ah, I never knew how many demerits I lose when I cop a fine - doesnt say anywhere.

[Luke_ENR34]

I lost 3 points when i got done 79k/hr in a 60k zone. Fine was like 300 and something.

[CRoNic...]

It's 6 points when 45k+ over.

So even if you're doing 200 over the limit, you still get 6 points.

[scandyflick]

category 1 (< 15km/h) = 1 point

category 2 (15 - 29 km/h) = 3 points*

category 3 (30 - 44 km/h) = 4 points

category 4 (> 45km/h) = 6 points (and a $564 fine + $30 levy, lol)

*same as failure to stop at a red light.

ive now been fined for everything but a cat 3. not a great record.
