Truth be known probably one of the lazy ones getting paid for doing nothing but least it was to your advantage.MrFaulty wrote: Instead of fining me, he looked at it and said that the bike couldn't have been much fun to ride witht he tyre worn as it was and he said that he reckoned I should get a new one, and that was that, no fine, no details taken, just some good advice.

Was with my daughter doing her L's in the cage when we momentarily pulled over into a no stopping zone in Homebush Bay on a Sunday,we stopped because she'd just stuffed up the turn a bit and i wanted to explain what she'd done wrong so we stopped you could have fired a shotgun in any direction and not hit a soul,place was totally deserted.Stopped for like 3 seconds and WoooWoooWoo behind us.Booked with a ticket written up (For me!!Damn it !!!) for not supervising.I wore it because,im in the wrong , but gee i though just a caution would have been a fair cop for the situation,wasn't exactly holding up or impeding traffic Instead its a fine and points.Aw well

Well that came back to bite me on the arse. I got a ticket yesterday for doing 85 in what used to be an 80 zone, but has recently been dropped to a 60 zone. $360 and 4 points for missing a newly placed sign.Nelso wrote:It's only the stupid decisions that the minority (usually HWY) come up with that people usually complain about. It's good to hear you came accross one of the many good cops who use common sense, which resulted in a positive outcome ie. you getting the message and fixing the problem without needing to be fined.MrFaulty wrote:Hi, given the amount of cop/police "bashing" that goes on on this forum, I thought it would be good to tell what happenned to me this morning.

Stingy.... 
this new 50K stuff is a PITA too.. used to be it was just side streets but now roads which are not exactly quiet back roads have dropped in speed by a big amount

I think they should bring in a hefty processing fee for letters like this, it's just a drain on government resourcesDMonkey wrote:+1 send in a letter, they can only say norobracer wrote:Shit Rob, that sux big time....... possibly worth a fight
Government workers don't do anything anyway... I should know I just started a contract with a government department in Victoria....tim wrote:I think they should bring in a hefty processing fee for letters like this, it's just a drain on government resourcesDMonkey wrote:+1 send in a letter, they can only say norobracer wrote:Shit Rob, that sux big time....... possibly worth a fight
To write the letter I have to take it to court which involves paying $75 court costs, so I would say there is a hefty processing fee already Tim.tim wrote:Bugga, we're all government fund raisers aren't we

so I'd like to know what they were all doing in there. The last cop car I passed was hauling arse and only put his disco lights on after he had passed me which looked like he was just having a bit of fun and got caught out since none of the 4 cars ahead of him were in any hurry.If your local to the area dont residents have to be notified?.. or a public notice?Nelso wrote:I need to do a bit of research and find out when exactly the speed limits changed etc before I decide how to deal with it.
