The reason i gave and has been verified by Queensland Ambulance service in writing and ratified by a JP was that my wife was on an ECG at our house and QAS were in emergency attendance- I had received a call to that effect. I explained this with a copy of letter confirming the Ambo's attendance at the exact time i received the infringement. I appealed a $150 and 1 point penalty (my first ever ticket)to QPS and thgey rejected my appeal and i have elected for Court decision. I firmly agree this is just a money making racket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-81387897934826573902015-03-14T22:17:20.782+10:002015-03-14T22:17:20.782+10:00Look the answer is simple.

When you are on that stretch of road just take it easy and when you get passed Kewarra roundabout just fang it because he'll be the only copper out there.

Wow the carnage must have been horrific. I mean all those dangerous drivers going over the speed limit must have caused SO many accidents right? And for the police to once a month set up a speed camera in this location, a straight road, divided hwy, that is void of any pedestrians and right before a speed change sign, it must be an extremely high traffic accident area right? <br /><br />To say that these people were given tickets because they endangered the public, rather than the truth, that it generates revenue, you’d have to be a complete and utter moron. It’s no wonder this city is in such a state when so many people even on this forum can’t see that.<br /><br />And by the way Bob, I was given a speeding ticket in Victoria about a year ago. When i got the ticket back in Cairns, I wrote to them explaining the situation and they let me off with a warning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-73241040918066423232015-03-11T23:15:38.730+10:002015-03-11T23:15:38.730+10:00Statutes created by our fearless and incompetent e...Statutes created by our fearless and incompetent elected representatives in the House of Parliament are never intended primarily for the purposes of reducing risk or saving lives as this does cost money, the statutes are only a tool for raising revenue and that is why they are presented to the Parliament as Bills, a cost on the community that has to be paid by the community for the public policy that is imposed on you as LAW. If you apply for a licence or register your vehicle to the State and you agree that you will comply with all of the terms and conditions of the statutes and regulations and you inadvertently breach that trust reposed on you, you have already agreed to pay if one of our brothers in blue costume, with or without their speed detection equipment, make the allegation you are deemed to be guilty until you prove otherwise. The State is in debt over your heads and you are the secondary obligors for the debt and all of you will pay one way or another. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-1803817916665783952015-03-11T20:09:59.660+10:002015-03-11T20:09:59.660+10:00WTF Shanghai your disappointing me your starting t...WTF Shanghai your disappointing me your starting to make sense, maybe all those feeds at Yum Char are starting to pay off, or your sober.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-51589282763113127642015-03-11T18:08:07.574+10:002015-03-11T18:08:07.574+10:00Sounds like someone has sand in their Vag cause th...Sounds like someone has sand in their Vag cause they got caught.

The people who broke the law should be annoyed....at their own stupidity.<br /><br />At what point is it "ok" to break the law? 5klms over, 10klms over, 30klms over? <br /><br />You should be thankful that you don't live in Victoria.<br /><br />There the speed cameras are outsourced. This has lead to cameras being placed in wheelie bins and all manner of devious hiding spots. Coupled with the zero tolerance of drivers getting fined for being 3klms over and it truly meets the concept of a revenue raising state.<br /><br />If you break the law and get caught then cop the fine and stop ya' bloody whining.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-60086440919271193472015-03-11T17:01:08.348+10:002015-03-11T17:01:08.348+10:00Wow frank you have to be joking? 404 people drivin...Wow frank you have to be joking? 404 people driving on a lazy Sunday on a straight road who maybe went 5 or 10k over the limit are in your opinion crimInals who deserve a $100-200 ticket?

Guess they knew there would be at least 404 posts from outraged drivers and the Post wasn't interested in hearing it. <br /><br />I'd like to suggest we get a dedicated group together to start fighting these assholes. We make signs that say, Police speed trap ahead", then when some sees a speed trap they report it to a phone list of people that have the signs. Then someone goes out and puts the sign 200m down from the trap. It would cause them so much trouble they would have to give up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-72544618998420496152015-03-11T13:09:10.630+10:002015-03-11T13:09:10.630+10:00The 404 citizens who received infringement notices...The 404 citizens who received infringement notices are not law abiding; they broke the speed limit.
