i just got a speeding ticket and im not 2 happy because im 95% shore that i was doing the speed limit as i passed the speed camera and if i was speeding it would have only been 1-2km/h over. but on the letter i got it says that i was doing 67km/h its only $75 but im still thinking of fighting it.

i would like to know what info i need to fight this in court what type of fees are associated with going to court. and also do i need a lawyer and the cost of that.

also i was changing lains when i got picked up could this effect the reading

any help is greatly appreciated.

and i have searched the forum and i didn't find anything relevant to me

Feel free to fight it. It will cost you too much time, money and effort to win.

If your wheels are bigger than stock or have a different diff. Your speedo could be out. So if you were doing 63km/h and ur speedo is 5% out, then you would really be doing 66.1. Which is pretty close to 67. So its ur call.

$75 no points - big deal.

If there is another vehicle visible in the photo, send it back, if you're the only visible vehicle, just pay it.

You can fork out $xxx to take it to court, and fight it, and sure, maybe you'll win, the WA police will withdraw the fine and cover your legal fees and costs for going to court...that leaves you with the initial consultation with a lawyer...which is alot more than $75.00.

Check the speed limit for that area, and see if there's another vehicle, otherwise just win the battle now and pay the fine.

im fighting because i have been booked incorrectly and if ppl dont stand up 4 them selves then the gov can continue 2 f*** every day drivers like u and me.

and my speedo is not out if any thing it reads higher than what im doing. (i know because i have gone through speed cameras b4 with no problem and also cross referenced with GPS)

just found out about legal aid has any one had any experience with them i might call them 2moro

First step would be to look at the photo, and if you are changing lanes like you said it has been proven that changing lanes at the time does give an incorrect reading. If you are moving closer to the camera it increases the speed & vice versa.

But it in that situation & with no demerits involved if I was you I would only fight it if there is something showing up in the photo (another car within shot or changing lanes), and even then I'd only do it by getting in touch with the issuing officer (to do with speed camera fines, the name on the fine)

have to agree with the rest, if you didn't get any points then like every body else stated its just cheaper paying the fine.. you can go and fight it but will just end up costing more in the long run

Pay the fine and get over it

They have proof you were speeding whereas you have no way to prove that you weren't.

You may have thought you were only 1-2kms over but just a twitch of the throttle on a Skyline will have you increasing by 4kph without knowing it. I know you feel aggrieved but chances are 99% that you were speeding. They normally knock off a few kms so chances are you may have been doing more than they claim

called legal aid and chances are they wont help me because the fine is so low (but i dont give a shit about the fine im pissed at the fact i got picked up) and a real lawyer will cost far 2 much grrrrrrrrrrr F the system i h8 u so bad.

im not going 2 fight it ;) i have no legal knowledge and it cost 2 much 2 get it. i will fight another day maybe when im older and rich :no:

time 2 invest in a radar detecter :banana: any recommendations

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
