TMD! I got booked by TP for speeding

He claimed that he clocked me at 50+ above limit and 2nd time 38km above limit. Said i was lucky cos it was at the bend so i slowed.... He thought the meter wrong so he clock again.

I think his meter got problem.... Anyway, they should stop putting up such slow speed limit. Who drives at 50km/h? Think the colour of my car attract too much attention. Everyone else was speeding and I was only a slight bit faster than them.


What a lousy christmas present. Oh...he was on bike hiding in a corner. Cannot even see. You guys be careful and dun get such presents....

Bro! What a drag and sorry to hear of your troubles...but don't quite follow. TP said he clocked you at 50+ above the limit in a 50 zone?? What the heck were u doing at 100 kph in a 50 zone?? Yikes, that's a disaster waiting to happen mate. Where were you?

You know, I love red cars but they tend to get a bad rap all over the world....it's all Ferrari's fault

If 50+ over the speed limit of 50km/h, means court + 12 pts. More than half of the speed limit allowed.
If it's 38+km/h, than may not, but what was the fine? and where is the place that our dear White Robin Hood is hiding?
Yikes .... Manwe, i cud understand your feeling .. i kerna before, and that's also before I drove the 8. That time the speed i was travelling was 108km/h on a 60km/h road. Court & $700 + 12 pts

He re-clocked me and i slowed already cos it was a bend.... so he gave me the lower speed. But told me verbally that I was over 50 the first time he clocked. I didn't even think I was that fast... maybe the speedo was lagging behind the speed of the car. I was doing what I normally did....accelerate till till abt 7-8k then change gear, up to forth gear, the the speedo was reading abt 90 then reach the bend so i relaxed on the paddle a bit...He told me i was above 100 initially.

It was in amk. He was hiding in some corner without lights. So now it is only 8 plus 170$. Hey....I was just accelerating fast and making noise only...those other cars were speeding too. Just catch me. Think red is good to catch...

Genesis bro: hmmm it isn't my fault that our cars are fast. It is imposible to be at 50. Man...my 2nd gear is way above 50 already....cannot be change gear and slow down right? Haha... I think they should just abolish 50 roads except for those narrow narrow ones. Nobody would speed on those anyway.

by the time you're 3rd at 7-8k you'll be above 120?

Doing what you normally did, that's above 100.
Yeah.... that's why he clocked me above 100. haha....

But i normally at 4th gear i would have relaxed on the pedal and settle down to 90 or so on small roads unless i am on highway I would switch to 5th and stay at around 120.

Guess I was just very unlucky. TP seldom stay at small roads to catch ppl. Normally at those very clear and long roads such as expressways or those bigger roads.
