The times you've been booked

[Lightning Strike GT]

Got pinged by a speed camera about 4 years ago in Nth NSW for doing 59 in a 60 zone but it was a 40 school zone between 730 am and 930 am school days fair enough it was at 815 am on a friggen Saturday had the time and date stamp on the infringement of the offence (exceed speed limit within variable speed zone - school) sent it the the NSW Police thru my solicitor - never heard any thing after that :

[OLDFORDNUT]

got done after driving 500km down to Stanthorp QLD from Hervey bay and was on return trip,two days ago on Australia Day,tog got me fair and square coming over a rise after passing slower car at 126 in 100 zone,4 points and $250 god those points are gunna hurt.he actually said to me that he could understand if i was doing 118 while passing but not 126,what really ИИИИed me off was the car i won on ebay was a pile of crap,nothing like his description.so waste of time and 1000 km Australia Day trip that has cost dearly.

Been booked once since I started driving in 1998 and I've done over 300,000km of driving since I got my licence so I'm pretty happy with that record

Was caught about 2 weeks after getting my licence doing 73km/h in a 60km/h zone. Left me with 1 point on my P's... Very nervous year that one. Ironically I think that road has now been changed to a 70km/h limit, figures. Anyhow, they haven't caught me since ;)

[MYVYSS]

Been done a few times for 5-8km/h over the limit, but my 2 shameful ones are..

Mucking about one night tramped the go peddle with an unmarked behind me...got me on a radar fair and square 85 in a 60 1 more km/h over and bye bye licence...3 points 165 bucks I think

and my most shamful...(waits to be flamed) 98 in a 50....yeah I know stupid and all...moment of madness. just opened 2nd gear up and was a quick squirt...TMU got me on radar...should have lost the licence for 12 months, took it to court and ended up with 6 months and 220 fine plus about 40 bucks in court costs...I learnt my lesson...I now have only 1 point for the next three years...

[rapidxr6]

In 11years i have contributed zero dollars, but had my fair share of warnings

[snypereb]

98 in a 60 + 6 months loss of licence!!

[gozza]

i had a spout of sporradic and retarded driving after i got my license which resulted in losing 11 points in 6 months
plus a cancelled license for driving with a suspended license...had to go to court

but ever since ive been a granny and i haven't had any infringment in a yr and a half...hehehe my fuel ave speaks for itself

[clontarf_x]

Destroyed my first liscence by speeding, speeding and more speeding (I think about 5 or 6 seperate fines ranging from 5 or 6 to 20 or 30 over the limit) and I think a couple for not displaying P's.

Came off my p.s 1 week after gettign my liscence back (they only suspended, not cancelled, how awesome is that, I was so lucky on that one) and since then I have only received one speeding fine, albeit a very large one. 104 in a 60 zone. another 2km/hr and bye bye second liscence.

That was about a year ago and I haven't been touched since. I blame the upgrade to a sportier car.

[Falcon Freak]

Three speeding fines to date. All have been for doing between 10 to 15km/hr over the posted speed limit. However on one occassion I was actually doing 20km/hr over the speed limit but the nice policeman only marked it as 15km/hr which saved me a couple of demerit points and a few bucks.

I believe in NSW the "law" stipulates that the maximum legal speed in NSW is 110km/h - let me guess, it's not actually legislated in the roads act?

As for me, never been booked, though I do expect "my luck to run out", I'm an advocate of planting the accelerator to the metal when I'm overtaking on broken lines on a straight stretch of road (single vehicle - at worse an HC)- the less time I spend there, the better.

As for my driving record, I don't even want to know about it.

same as qld :ymca:

I thought mine was pretty funny - but you had to know the car.

I got booked when I was on my P's for doing 78k's in a 60 zone in my 1978 Toyota corolla. We figured out by looking at the photo, that it was the peak speed I had reached from a stand still several hundred meters ago. I had dropped my GF off at work, floored it (which is the speed of any modern car taking off at a normal speed) and slowed down. At my peak, the copper took the picture.
