It is a joke, he got a copper mate to give him a fake ticket. As Alex said, you couldn't do that speed on that road anyhow, that's supposing a GT actually goes that fast in the first place....

harvyk Member 1,070 Member For: 19y 8m 27d Location: The North Cooma End of Canberra... Posted 24/08/05 01:01 AM Share Posted 24/08/05 01:01 AM It could be done (even though this notice is a fake), but I doubt it could be on a Sunday afternoon... (Maybe at 3am, on a Tuesday night if the guy gets up to say 100KM/h at the end of Northbourne (The final traffic lights with the speed camera...) and once they go around the hill with the flag in the middle (don't know what that one is called)... They could probably get up to 297km/h on Commonwealth ave...Now stopping from that speed, before the 55km/h corner at parlament, that would be a different story... (read impossible to do without using the concrete braking aid built into the corner ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no provisions under the Road Safety Act to sentence someone to a term of imprisonment for speeding offences. When a judge or magistrates sentences someone for an offence, they can't just make up the sentence. They are guided by the maximum terms of imprisonment built into the act, and other factors such as is it repeat behaviour, the type of vehicle, where the offence was committed, how co-operative was the defendant with police, did they plead guilty are they remorseful? For instance, here in Victoria, on your third drink driving offence, you are eligiable to serve a three month term of imprisonment. Due to a fault in the law though, for your 13th, 23rd or 33rd drink driving offence, you can still only serve three months. A fault in the law. My point is, there are no provisions in the act for anyone to do jail time for speeding, IF THAT'S THE ONLY OFFENCE THEY'RE CAHRGED WITH.In this instance, if it was real, the person would be facing at least a "Drive at Speed Dangerous", possibly even "Reckless Conduct Endangering Life" under the Crimes Act (this offence does come with provisions for a term of imprisionment). We know in this instance it hasn't happened though because the defendant has the ticket, and therefore, (if it was real) has only been charged with the speeding.Confusing?The fact that a penalty notice has been issued for 227km/h over the limit in itself shows the matter to be non-genuine. There's no way you'd be driving off with just a ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
