Anyone Know Anything About This?

[JunglBoi]

hey guys

just wondering if you guys know anything concerning these few things

firstly heres ther story

i got fined on great wester hwy, between pitt and steele st

i came out onto the street from o/connell st

i got done doing 70 and the zone is 60

the issue i'm having is

there was no signs anywhere up to even past the speed camera to state it was a 60 zone

also i dont know if it matters but from o'connell st to the camera

there are only 2 warning signs

does that make a different that there was only 2 shown and not 3

i'm unsure about that, i think it doesnt matter, but have been told in the past that 3 have to be displayed

and also, how does it work when there is no signage? do you take the speed from the previous street u were travelling? or how does it go

thanks

What was the speed limit in the street you turned off?

You can write to the local commander and cc to state debt recovery about the fine. Give your reasons and ask for leniency in this matter (point out you have no record if thats the case). The arguement they will give is that you should have been doing 50km (being the lowest speed limit) if you didnt know the speed limit at the time. Its stupid but i got done with the same thing except it wasnt by a camera it was by a highway patrol.

Good luck =)

The law in nsw is : any street without a sign stating the speed is a 50km/h zone, doubt you can dodge it by saying there were no speed limit signs, normally though they have a warning sign next to the speed limit...

There is also no actual LAW stating those warning signs for speed cameras have to be there. So you won't get away witht he "But there was only 2 speed warning signs" added to that, nearly every single one I've passed has a speed limit signed tacked onto the side of the speed camera warning one.

Yeah, might be a bit tough getting out of this one. Your only chance, in my view, though slim, would be the leniency case based on a good driving record.
