Question re speeding fines

[Moronic Musings]

Was caught for doing 15-20kms over the limit by a cop, pulled over whatever. he asked me how fast i was going and i just kept pretty silent but respectful, the norm, and he kept saying you were doing 100 werent ya and i denied denied denied. Anyway point is, he came out of his vehicle with a phone looking device, he obviously would've caught the number plate, but i didn't get handed a ticket or anything, so what happens now? do i get a ticket in the mail? did i get lucky?

 

[The Greatest]

You are lucky... If he was going to fine you than he would have already...

I have had the same thing and he didn't give me an on the stop fine & I thought he let me go. It showed up a few weeks later in the mail.

 

[Papa Emeritus]

I thought cops always gave it to you on the spot.

Oh well your own fault if you do get a fine.

 

[The-Game]

Sometimes yaget lucky, I was doin 100 in a 60 in the wet and a highway patrol prked on da side of the road lit me up, but never got nuffni in the mail nor did he come after me. But usally when they stop u they tell you if ur gettig fined.

 

[Mr Beast]

Lucky you got let off. Next time stick to the road rules unless you ride an R1 or drive a Ferrari

Ignore the self-righteous rubbish below... my guess is that you are ok... but just wait and see.

 

[Mr Invisible]

You *should* be okay.

If you have a clean record, he might have cut you a break.

If you get pulled over you'll normally get it on the spot. Only exceptions (in NSW) to that rule, is if the officer doesn't have a charge book with him (to fine you), has run out, or is a detective / CIU officer.

Phone looking wasn't the breath test machine was it? They can look like that.

Either way I think you are fine, normally the officer will say at the time he is giving you a ticket.

As far as the eastern states are concerned, i've found NSW cops to the most realistic, and willing, if you are co-operative, to downgrade your fine, or give a warning.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

as the game mentioned, they should tell you that youre gonna be fined.
if youve had a clean driving record for 10 years then you can probably get the fine waived. i wasnt so lucky, i was 9-and-a-half years clean & the pricks still got me.

Exception being country cops. If they know you are facing a 3-4 hr drive to the local courthouse to argue a $200-$300 fine, they know chances are whatever Mr Policeman says, you'll likely accept.

Years ago I copped a "failure to keep left" on Hume Highway. He claimed I sat in right hand lane for too long, yet before he could pull me over safely, the 5 cars I'd just overtaken came past. *rolls eyes*.

Still, best to be respectful and honest. If you were speeding man up to it, and you'll normally get cut a break.

STOP BREAKING THE LAW AAAAAASSSSSSSHOLE



Sounds like you got let off buddy

Always ask to see the speed detector, the fact he/she was repeatedily asking you means they had nothing

 

[Big Nick]

People have already mentioned this and yes if they plan to send you something in the mail, they normally say so.

Phone looking device??? Camera maybe??? If there is footage of alleged speeding offence then he may take it back to the station to calculate estimated speed of travel.

That ten year clean period is also correct, he would have checked that.

The fact that he was trying to get an admission gives the appearance that he didn't have much evidence to begin with. Police get annoyed when they suspect an offence but can't prove it. This multiplies when the alleged offender has a poor attitude, the fact that you were polite may mean that the officer won't be on a mission to prove your alleged guilt.

Was he hwy patrol, they're known to be less lenient.

Have I confused you, lol. Good luck mate.

 

[Book]

LOL I hope you get it in the mail faggot

 

[tyl0r]

Personal preference whether to send it in the mail or give it on the spot. It's been a few weeks so you're fine. All I can recommend is to be respectful. Most police will respect you if they are given it.

deny deny deny, ask for a reading, record them, make them feel uncomfortable.

got off doing 20 over on the way to sydney once, pissing down rain at night, started recording asked him where his high vis was, few mins later winked at me returned to his car and drove off.

Since when do high vis vest need to be worn every time they get out of the vehicle. I'd say you we're just lucky

 

[_BT_]

15-20k over the limit and you're worried about getting a ticket?

You're an ahole that could potentially kill some one.

There's always one.

As long as you sleep at night knowing all the murders/rapes/actual crimes have been solved and Police are answering their true calling by hiding in bushes ready to strike at the REAL crooks - NSW motorists who have the audacity to drive 15km over the limit...
