DAMMIT if anyone out there knows how I feel right now, you'll know its bad.
I am on two Good Driving Behaviour Bonds. (don;t ask me how, loophole in the law)
I have 3 prior speeding convictions, all minor - 10-15k's over.
I have had my license for 11 months 3 days
On my wayhome today, the lights ahead of me turned red, so I swung left - the road cuts through the gap and back onto the highway a few miles down - to save some time. I was thinking about Sunday - I'm bowling for Cairns and I was thinking about my technique and shit and how to improve my mental game for it - when I was blinded. literally, blinded. so blinded that i had to blink, shake, and pull over. I turned around to find out the cause of the flash, and found - you guessed it, a gunmetal grey Mercedes Vito with a camera in the back, nudgebar on the front, license plate 773 KXG and Police Camera Unit vinyled on the side.
I'm guessing I was going maybe 30, 40, possibly even 60 over, in a 60 zone although I really have no idea. the blinding glare nearly made me crash let alone know where my speedo was.
Anwyay - brings me to my next question: How the FUCK do I get out of this one:
And I apologize for swearing
My dad Is going TO KILL ME when he finds out, but I;m not worried aout that. I'm NOT selling my car - so I'll still be in ClubCJ o course. One GOOD thing is that I wont be spending anything on petrol while the price of petrol is falling, meaning I'll be able to send more money on doing up my car and then it';ll be cheaper to runwhen and if i get my license back.
However, I don't really want to lose m license.
There would have been NO other car in the shot btw, its a straightforward take.
So: Does anyone know any tricks>
And in partcular - does OVERPAYING the fine work?
I.e. the fine is $250, pay $260 they have to send you a cheque as change (They cant send money in the mail), they cant put the points on ur license until the transaction is compelted, transaction is never completed til u ban kthe cheque, just never bank the cheque? I dunno, I heard it somewhere, want to know if it works.
And yes, I'm posting this as a sticky because Its really fucking important (sorry) lol...
