Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 04/12/06 12:50 PM Share Posted 04/12/06 12:50 PM (edited) The RTA cameras only allow for an error of I think of 2 to 3 km/hr, your best bet if you have a good driving record is to write a letter and attach it to a cheque for the amount, in this letter you state that you have not been booked for how ever long but they like to see several years and that it was only a small amount, also state that you understand it is an offence and you know you were in the wrong. It's a case of swallowing your pride I know, they will usually send the cheque back if they decide to send you a caution. Although beware doing this prevents you taking it to court at a later date. I do not know if there are minimum legal amounts for the speed measuring devices but they generally have an error depending on the type of radar of +-2km/hr. I believe it is inherently unfair to issue such low speeding infringments, as it is not in the sprit of the legislation. That said the commisioner of the RTA has the final say, not me.P.S. Radar is not my strong suit so I cannot be exactly sure, as I do not use it.←Thanks Sly. Looks like I need to spend a little while in front of MS Word... Cheers.←UPDATE!!!!Got a reply in the mail today from the Vic Police.....The infringement has been retracted and a warning applied, due to the circumstances. WOO HOO!!! Thanks to Sly and everyone else for the advice. Saved me $134 and the demerit point. I will have a beer for you all.Cheers Edited 04/12/06 12:50 PM by XR64T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
