87 in a 60 - 270 dollar fine 4 points. Loss of P's - 3 months suspension. And the other night a mate got done 92-60 - 350 dollar fine 6 points. He's going to contest it because its only one km off the lesser bracket. Edit: the night I got done I had only just got the car back, so it was seeing speeds around 150 (highway driving) before I came in to a big empty roundabout, booted it. Flicked the rear out, accelerated up a hill and slowed down. They got me coming over the hill at 87. I believed more like 70or so. But they showed me the gun. *Not that it is always right

Was doing 112 in a 70 zone on my bike late at night... Was supposed to be $350 and 6 points, but the cop took 2km off and it became $250 and 4 points, was the week i got my 850 (and i'm still on my P's) Also was doing 160km in a 70 zone (actually same place and late at night) and was let off... i would have lost my licence and being on my P's i would have had to go through all the licence bullsh!t again!!!

well, I was "almost" caught doing 180 on the wrong side of the road coming back from Nagambi in Vic, I was in my Small Block Statey and a VL wouldn't move over so I gunned it, overtook the snail and continued to floor it past some others when all of a sudden I see 2 cop cars, one on the right side and one on the left, both pulled over booking other cars - what could they do???? I would hate to have "copped" that fine!!!!!! Some days you're just lucky!

in general sounds l;ike the police have all been nice to you guys. 72 in a 50 - 3 points, 200$ fine. 64 in a 60 - 1 point, 110 fine - still pending cos it was in my old lady's car - should i contest it, do you guys reckon I'd get off.
