Did Anyone Got Speed Fined On The Way To Saunats?

[Jap_star]

my fine was only $153 , thats not even worthy of a fine. at least make it exciting victoria

Andrew, I'd def challenge a 61 or 62 in a 60 zone.................no speedo is that accurate so I wouldn't pay and just opt for conviction

Too late once you've paid cause they deem it as an acceptance of liability

^^^ Nope, no leg to stand on. As part of Victorias Certificate of Roadworthiness you can get your speedo checked/calibrated for free. And in this age of GPSs and smart phoines, to argue that you were speeding cos you didn't know any better is a cop out. Even more so when they have speed check signs all over Melbourne.

Don't get me wrong, I cruise around Adelaide all day every day doing 65km/hish and love how lax the enforcement is here. But in Vic I ALWAYS stayed below the speed limit.

I still doubt that they could argue calibration of 1km..........considering a tyre 50% worn at 100kph would indicate a different speed (as small as it may be) to a brand new one on the same calibrated vehicle

it was in Vic!

was that in Vic or in SA Faris? 2k's over, $244 sounds incredibly harsh

[Chopstik]

You sir, are one of the lucky ones!!

A few pots calling kettles black in here.

I haven't received anything.

i was actually being reported by an old car with HEAPS of antenna's! So if you guys see an old car with HEAPS of antenna's cruising around, BEWARE.

The tolerance for reading an analogue gauge is +/- half the smallest increment, so if you have 10km/h marks on your spedo the reading error is 5km/h, and you can get number of books or 'expert's to state that is the case.
