Ever Fought A Speeding Fine In Victoria? Here's My Day In Court:

[Birds]

Alleged refers to benefit of the doubt factor having being applied to the detected speed, to cover variance in speedometers and calibration of measuring equipment. But yes the actual wording "alleged" is because until someone pays the fine, you're considered innocent. Paying the fine is an admission of guilt.

Need to vent.

Keep seeing the ad campaign everywhere "This is why you are photographed when you speed" And it's making me so f*****g angry.

They're either just hypocritical beaurocrats or retarded do gooders. I'm not sure which.

If the only reason we're fined is safety; Police would make their prescense known; Cameras would be painted Hi Vis; and wouldn't be hidden in every dastardly place they can think of. You would be fined on the spot; and not mailed a fine three weeks later as that doesn't deter anyone.

The reason it gets to me so much is because I live here and the fairness of our state is slipping away. It seems to have happened in the last decade.

The majority of people know some of these things it are not right; and yet; it won't be changed. What can you do except vent? And then you get the public transport types talking down to you?

I hate the latest TV campaign trying to tell us how much speed cameras save lives.

So we're now paying to be taught that the things we pay for, to take further money from us, aren't there just to take money from us.

if you were doing 26 over did you lose your license?

The verdict isn't too bad, I'd call that a win for you.

The judge would normally just throw it out under some rediculous reasoning that police are always correct and your guilty....
