cooltint Member 686 Member For: 21y 6m 17d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 03/07/08 01:12 PM Share Posted 03/07/08 01:12 PM Mate I was doing 111km/h in what I thought was a 110km zone (it's a three lane hwy for christ sake). I was not speeding 'cause for once I was on time. I was up that way again just last weekend and this time I saw the signs, but they are small.The fine is 5x what it would normally be 'cause it's a company car. I think I'll just take the rap and lose the 1 point and pay the $100 fine.It just annoys me that I got done when I wasn't intentionally pushing the envelope. "Oh well such is life".Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lucky you're still alive though - didn't ya know that speed kills!And yeah there is no reason why the entire highway north of the gateway merge shouldn’t be 110; the lanes are wider than normal, and overall condition of the road is up there with the M1. Maybe once they finish the roadworks at Caboolture they'll up the limit....nah just wishful thinking :ifiusethisimafag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it amusing how few fixed speed cameras are in QLD... I think NSW did a big group buy on fixed speed cameras and had to make excuses to put them places...

I'll be sure not to make that mistake again. At least it's only one point if I own up to being the driver, it could have been worse. Oh and didn't ya know it not speed that kills it's the sudden impact with a stationary object that does all the damage lol.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
