Thankfully i didn't get caught but i was doing 110km/h in an 80 zone and a cop drove past the other way, i slammed the brakes on and went down to 80 by the time he passed me. NExt thing i see him flick his falcon around and come screaming up behind me. By this stage i'm ****tin myself so i slow down to 70 expecting the lights to come on. He stayed literally an inch off my bumper bar until the lanes split up in two. He then pulled up next to me and with his fingers he pulled them close and told me i was this ****ing close. He knew i was speeding obviously by the frount of the car bogging down under the brakes but he didn't have the rader going when he first went past. Thinking about it now i should have slammed the brakes on when he was so close behind me immitimidating me. It would have been his fault and i would have got a new rear end.

Bextor84, as Steve said, was on camera and at the time SA didn't have a demerit system for cameras.

lol where do i start... well in first 6 months of my licence i got pulled over on Williamstown road going into chapel following a mate doing 110 in a 60 zone. lost 6 points, $360 fine and 4 month suspension. copper said we were lucky he didnt take us to court for "street racing" lol. in that 4 months of no licence i deliverd pizzas and needed money so i drove without a licence and went to court lost it again for 1 month and $765 fine. Got it back again but lost all my points, chose to keep it under a conditional licence of running the risk of losing it for 6 months. ended up loosing another point for doing 4 kays over one time in a hurry and lost it for that 6 months. Ive now got it back and havnt had a speeding fine yet. TOUCH WOOD.

64 in a 60 zone, $125 and 1 point i think it was. The stupid thing about it was it was an unmarked car on the side of the road, I knew straight away what it was a cop. I was doing about 80 so I quickly slowed down to exactly 60 and went past it, but it still flashed. That's when I found out that my speedo was out. This was when I had the R31. Just last night I got pulled over for "lurking". I was driving home and I saw my brother was walking home, so I stopped in the middle of the road to pick him up, there were no other cars around, except a cop that saw me as I started going again.

About 8 yrs ago I got done doing 120 in an 80 and also ran a red light. Got for 4 speeding plus lost license for a month plus got 3 for the redlight. total bill was about $500 Funny thing is the cop told me he thought he had a chase on his hands and I laughed at him.

i lost my license 3 times in 4 yrs when i first got my license. almost a 4th but i fought this one in court and had a great debate with the judge and got to keep my license phew..only person on that day according to the clerk lol. umm got done for 156 on the highway not long after. spun the cop a story about my missus being in labour as she was preggas and he gave us an escort to the hospital were he still wrote out the fine but said due to the reason of my speeding I could write a letter to the super intendant of traffic and ask for the fine to be waived. A foolscap and a half later with references to the doctors at the hospital i gave to the super who in his good heart (heh) decided to waive the fine and i got off .

road near me goes from 80-60-80kmh, the 60kmh bit is only about 30m long as its near a congested area, was flogging my old Celica through there (obviously speeding) and flash! got caught doing 110kmh in the 60 zone the fine was going to be $650 with 9points. I thought, "thats a bit harsh, better go look at the photo and see if i can fluke it". Went in, and had a look, all you could see was the number plate, the rest of the car was INVISIBLE as it was a dark nite w/ rain. Told the policeman it was someone test driving my car as it was for sale - said to write out a statutory declaration and "see what happens". 2 years later, no points gone, no fine in the letterbox Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i got pulled over today in a 90 zone. the passenger cop gets out to give me a rbt, meanwhile the driver cop gets out and goes " are you aware of the speed limit?" i reply " yeah it is 90." he says " i clocked you at 110 with my speedo." i say " i was doing 90, my speedo said 90". he checked my rego and looked around a bit and let me off. i asked them to do 90 for me so i could follow and see if my speedo was out and he said no. he told me to just compensate. i think he was bull****ting. it must be pretty unlikely to get off at 20kph over the limit. i did 10 less than the speed limit the rest of the way home and everyone was overtaking me, so i think he was bull****ting.

It's all about body language..... if you get out of the car when ur pulled over, and use correct body language and DONT argue with the pig, and obey his every instruction, and belittle yourself and make him feel big. U'll get off alot more than u can imagine! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ive had terrible luck.. Im still on my p's, turn 23 next week, got them a week after my 18th and get off them in July 05 (if i dont **** up again) 122 in a 100 zone 127 in 110 zone 126 in 110 zone (week later) 132 in 110 zone (1 month loss of licence) 145 in 90 zone (6 months loss of licence) 86 in 60 (camera, had to get my old lady to take it) 72 in 60 (same camera, 3 days after, had to get my sister to take it) All these were before they brought in the new penalties not that long ago. Hopefully i can manage to get off my p's with out having them extended again. All i can say is its been bloody expensive.
