not to be just another "boo hoo i got a speeding fine cause i am a moron who drives like i stole it"

but, just now i was in Bunbury, on the way in i was pulled over by a police man with a wavy red glow stick

(who totally looked like something out of Counterstrike) "we are from the Gang Task Force and you have been pulled over for a random drug and alcohol test" he says

no concern to me, been doing neither - as they were taking a swab an officer came to my car holding a walkie talkie and tells me that they are now going to book me for speeding

i was like "oh man, is it 50 along here, i swear its always been a 60 zone?"

a nerdy looking officer steps up to the car (with this vest that had like SO many pockets it was almost stupid) and shows me some hand held gadget displaying 81km/hr

glaring at me on a big red screen

"you were doing over 80... you are the only car on the road" he says

but i was only doing 60, me thinks

as EVERYONE on here knows there is a fair bit of difference between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour

...maybe 63 if my speedo is out, but 81!? absolute crap

nothing i could do - they book me and my passenger reads that they have only stung me with $150 fine and 2 demerits

count my blessings on a shit situation i guess

PS:

okay maybe a bit of a boo hoo, just feels like i have been screwed because a bunch officers in SWAT gear are bored of a saturday night

I got done for speeding a while back on a hand held, I was so surprised when they flagged me down out a group of cars and showed me a screen that said 81km/h when I was 100% sure I was going 65 in a 70 zone because a car coming the other way flashed me, and I knew exactly where they were (they're at the same spot a few times a week).

I had a chat with the guy and essentially he said it's my word against his in court, and he believes I was going 81 (even though I was behind a bus that would have been going less than 70 too). So I had no choice but to pay up and watch them strip me of another point. :banana:
