I got out of my last speeding offence by getting out of the car and striking up a conversation with the officer while his partner went back to the car and checked my licsence and rego. After chatting for a few minutes, he realised I was a good bloke and not a hoon and went over to the car and convinced his partner to let me off with a warning. I wasn't being confrontational, just bluffing that I had nothing to hide. And yes, I was out doing some street testing of my Hymee exhaust at the time! Whatever works for you I guess.

 

Thanks for the tip though. If I ever get done in Sydney, I think I'll stay in the car!

 

I get out of the car and meet them at the boot with license in hand, unless its raining and then I have made them knock twice on the window before I wound it down!! He was getting drenched and I only put the window down enough to get the liscence out to him! But I have found the times that I have got out of the car and been courteous and co-operative with them I have had fines reduced or just been given a warning!

 

You just gotta be careful about how you get out of the car... They probably prepare for the worst...

 

C'mon -- this isn't the US

 

Well Sydney isnt the ACT either Timbo It depends what area you live in mate.

Taka, you said you are on 12pts......what happened, camera's or radar?

 

12 point in 3 years is very easy.

It was the problem not reading any news for the Monash freeway, everyone knew there were permanent camera excpet me. I was still in my Integra and collected 6 speeding fines in 5 weeks from 10-15kmh over.

I got my wife to take a few points from me and was on 9 points for 2 years. But last time I was in Great Ocean Road one cop pick me up when I was 50-100m from a 100kmh sign doing 85 on 70 zone... bastard
