Cost of speeding fine

[Interloper]

Hi guys,

After a recent trip to Adelaide, I was on my way out on the M1 highway when i got pulled over for doing 126km/h in a 110 zone by 2 cops hiding behind trees on motorbikes and fined $240.

Anyway, I kinda think the $240 fine is a bit too much just for going 16 over the limit, i think in Victoria its about $180, so i was wondering if you guys know if this amount is correct or point me in the direction of a SA website that has the fines listed for speeding.

BTW - love the adelaide roads, there so much better than fu(ken potholed sh1tty bumpy vic roads! Best bit of road is the M1 up to Murray Bridge, i reckon its the best bit of road i've been on in australia :headspin:

Where the hell were you driving??? Doing circles around parliament house, or over in the Eastern suburbs ? ...lol Thats like the newest bit of highway here .

Explore a bit more next time, im sure you would retract the above statement.

As for the fines, it sounds about right for SA. Ring someone like the police dept. They should be able to tell you if its correct or not...i cant be bothered to google it atm sorry

yep, thats the right amount - got done for similar speed a while back.

Just be glad you didnt get defected:p

2km/h less and the fine drops into the mid hundreds, speaking from recent experience

[Bl4cK32]

couple more Kms/hr and its a loss of licence i think as well, isnt it? (20 km/h over?)

[Steve]

it depends on whether or not you are in a built up area - not sure if 20kmh is loss of licence though, I though it was more like 30 or 40?

[wreckedhead]

over 30 is loss of licence, i just got done doing 67 in 40 zone ****en pig chased me for a kilometer casue i didnt stop on his hand signal, he can go **** himself, what do the cops think were all prostitutes to come to them as soon as they wabe their hand.

lol, i was even up at Port Pirie so don't worry you SA dude have alot better roads than VIC, take my word for it. Or just cruise down to melb some time...

Haha, don't worry Steve, I was driving a VX S commo with just a exhaust, he did have a look at it though...

Anyway if thats the correct amount, well theres nothing left to do but pay it :bs!:

thats what i thought, as in vic the fine is much less if its under 15km/h

Thanks for your help guys

0-15 KM over is ~$150.00 and two points.

16-29 KM is ~$250.00 and three points.

30-44 KM is a fairly big fine and four or five points.

45 KM or more is a **** off fine and six points.

As far as I know, there is no automatic loss of licence in South Australia for speeding. But it's easy to do when you lose six points for 45 KM over the limit and then get done for dangerous driving too.

On the topic of speeding, I've gone through three separate cameras in the past two months at between 20KM-40KM over the limit and haven't heard anything. Have I been ridiculously lucky or can it take this long for fines to arrive?

ey man.... u're bloody "lucky" to be caught speeding on SA side. if you haven't crossed the border when u got pinged you would have lost your license for doing more than 15km/h above the posted limit. here in VIC dictator state we start getting fines as low as 2km/h above the limit.

[Steve]

I lived in Vic for 4 years, the roads here are alot worse.

[hippy]

alot of fines get thrown out the door cause they can't handle the amount of fines given!!

[Nightcrawler]

Apparently speed camera fines can take up to 3 months to arrive, depending on how busy they are. Chop's fine (from the Mt Barker dyno day) only took about 3 weeks to reach him though from memory.

Took about 3-4 weeks for me to get my red-light camera fine.

$244 and 3 point

I agree Steve. I've lived in and/or had long visits to all states & territories of Australia at one time or another, and without doubt SA/Adelaide has "THE" poorest quality city and suburban streets/roads in the country. Melbourne might have "some" bad ones but nothing compared to here in Adelaide!

Traffic light speed camera fine (revenue payment) - 3wks till it arrived in my letterbox.

0-15 KM over is ~$150.00 and two points.

Actually only one point thankfully.

I could scan and post a copy if anyone would like!

Ah, my mistake. That was all off the top of my head.
