For future ref ^^

Fantastic thanks, if anyone has any other recommendations let me know so I can pass them on, in case hes not happy with advice from the one above.. thankyou :)

lol @ u being the one to reply.. thanks Graeme!! Its for loss of licence.

He was on one point option then incurred another speeding fine and lost it for 6 months. But because it was excessive speed (40km/over) he has just lost it for another 6 months.. so will now lose his job.. (its my boss's son). From memory of our discussion the other day anyway..

He was done doing 100 through a roundabout near Rye.. apparently speed 'automatically' drops to 60 at a roundabout.. I personally did not know that?? I fly through them regularly.. like most other ppl I noticed..

Also I noticed in Cranny on the weekend that you can see the 100km sign on the other side, from the entry side of every roundabout.. so the whole thing seems stupid...

Anyway they need to try to do something so he doesnt lose it for another 6 months.. hence lawyer to talk about options..

Thanks for any help..

Hey Kaz,

Do you know which roundabout in Rye? Are you saying that it was an unsigned speed change?

I've just looked on the Vicroads site, and couldn't find anything about a speed limit automatically dropping for a roundabout on either the Speed Limits section or the Round Abouts section...

I know that most of Rye does have a 60kmh speed limit though...

He could be in a tricky situation considering his previous offenses...

Best of luck to him.

Must be one of those laws we are all just supposed to know about, like the 100's of other ones no-one is ever taught.

I have never heard of this, other than my dad mentioning it once years ago, that you should slow to 60 for any intersection. I just assumed he was crazy as that would cause more accidents.

Haven't heard of any law like that - however, surely discretionary powers allow a picky officer to get someone on reckless driving if they go through a roundabout too fast.

I looked into MK Law when I got nabbed speeding at 28 over the limit (down at mornington peninsula, when I was on my 12 months probation). Apparently he doesn't take minor cases.

Due to time constraints, I choose not to represent people who contest traffic infringement notices issued to them by police. I concentrate on matters where people have been charged and have either been bailed or summonsed to appear in court.

How'd he get caught? Does he need to appear in court or was he just issued a TIN?

i had to front court recently for a single speeding offence.

i spoke to MK law, however found him to be a little unprofessional, in my opinion not of the character i wanted to represent me in court.

MK quoted $1000 all up to deal with my case.

I ended up seeing Sean Hardy, had a meeting to discuss my case and i was confident in his ability.

SH cost me $1800 however the outcome of which i was very pleased with.

Yep. I went with SH as well and although he didn' represent me he gave me some good advice. recommended.

Sean hardy really well known. I have gone up against him before.

I also have never heard of this law. Stretch of road without sign in built up area iis default to 50 but otherwise is speed limit of last speed sign affixed until sign to change it.

Probably should have charged with speed/manner dangerous but took the lazy/easy option to give TIN, 2 min work compared to 2hrs

That's what I thought. When I went for my P's the instructor told me never to take a round about faster than 50km however the assessor in the back had said that there was no law actually saying that it legally had to be taken at 50 and to take it at a safe controllable speed close to the speed limit.

Have heard good things about Sean Hardy but no personal experience.
