Found this thread Googling for info on speeding fines.
A couple of hours ago I got flashed by a fixed speed/red light camera on Roe Hwy and Kalamunda Rd (WA) doing 40k's above the limit. I've had my license for 5 years and have never gotten any traffic infringements apart from a parking ticket from the City of Perth.
Was just cruising along at 100kph, on the way to grab dinner with the missus and all of a sudden an idiot in a Camry from behind puts on his high beams. I waited for a little, then slowed down to 60kph to let him pass and gave him a courtesy flash. He dipped his headlights and slowed down, so I pass him and he once again turns on his high beams. I sped up to put a little distance between us, and got flashed by the camera doing 120kph. The speed limit of the stretch leading to the lights is 80kph instead of the usual 100kph, which puts me at 40ks over the limit. I didn't get the Camry's rego, but it was a light blue 5th Gen.
Is it worth appealing the fine (when it arrives) or taking the matter to court or am I pretty much SOL? Money is an issue and lawyers aren't cheap, but I don't really fancy being fined $1k either.
