Wenier Donating Members 1,736 Member For: 14y 10m 8d Gender: Male Location: Christchurch, New Zealand Posted 13/10/10 02:11 AM Share Posted 13/10/10 02:11 AM Whats the deal with these fog light tickets you guys get?Ive fought one before which the cop did have me speeding and the radar evidence to prove it, but the 4wd subie I was driving in the past had some muppet fit the wrong rear diff to it. So my speedo said I wasnt but the car was, bit of mechanical knowledge speedo dyno run and the case got dropped.Mind you cost me best part of $1500 to sort the gbox and rear diff to be correct.

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 15y 8m 30d Gender: Male Posted 13/10/10 04:14 AM Share Posted 13/10/10 04:14 AM Doesn't matter mate. At the end of the day, your mate was speeding and should just cop it on the chin. Even if the cop can't prove it with radar etc, your mate knows he was speeding and should accept responsibility for it. If the fine ever arrives, just pay it and get on with your life. Is all the time you will pour into fighting it worth the few hundred bucks the fine will cost you?? My time is worth far more than that. So is my integrity. I fully expected those detectives to tow my car, and would have happily let them, its not their fault I was being stupid and breaking the law.

Member 753 Member For: 15y 8m 30d Gender: Male Posted 13/10/10 11:33 PM Share Posted 13/10/10 11:33 PM Yes Dillz, it is rigged so that no one will fight it. But at the end of the day, he was speeding. He broke the law, radar proof or not. Who is in the wrong? The cop for not providing proof (even though it wasnt asked for by the driver) or the driver for speeding? Would the cop have pulled him over if he was doing 60?If everyone just did the limit posted, there would be nothing to fight. What needs to be fixed is the amazingly low speed limits on great roads, and high limits on crap roads...I'm the last to be preaching, I tend to go over the limit everywhere. One day I will get caught and will just cop the fine. Part of obtaingin a licence is agreeing you wont break the road laws, the result is a fine if you do. Don't like it? Stop driving.

Not sure about Vic but in NSW that's the difference between 1 and 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 16y 9m Posted 15/10/10 02:44 AM Share Posted 15/10/10 02:44 AM The SS wagons are generally fitted with a dash mounted moving radar. Arguing this case would be purely based on technicalities, like proving the device wasn't used in accordance with the manufacturers specifications/guidelines.If he knows he was speeding he should just cop it on the chin and not be a whinger.

Guest newl Guests Posted 15/10/10 04:03 AM Share Posted 15/10/10 04:03 AM The SS wagons are generally fitted with a dash mounted moving radar.Or arguing that the officer was illegally operating a motor vehicle with an obstruction within their field of vision (dash mounted radar or lights).I do agree with the other responses though. If one was doing wrong, wear it fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
