Re: Unethical Speeding Ticket

We all constantly pay taxes at the pumps, stores, property tax etc..... or utility charges of "delivery to you" charges etc....where we have absolutely no control over it and don't complain....

Yet we have complete control over our fate on the roads and all of a sudden when someone gets stopped it is a a tax grab. It is easy to control your own ...

Re: Left turns and cyclists

yes, bicycles have to follow the same rules of the road.

Having been trained as a bicycle rider for work, you also should be utilizing the "lane block" technique. If in the left most lane, you would stay in the right tire track. In the right lane on a left turn, you stay in the left tire track (same as a MC rider would). This maintains your ...

I know there was no radar involved because when I drove past her she wasnt putting down any radar gun, she was putting her car in gear.

Simply put the radar unit down on the seat beside, then reached up to put the vehicle in gear. Would not keep the unit in your hand if you have already obtained a speed, identified the vehicle and now you want ...

After all, how can i be clocked on radar at 144km/h in a car that is governed (speed limited) to 135km/h maximum.

- maybe the speedometer is not accurate
- maybe the tires size based on the speedometer are not as the computer thinks, thus the speed would be different

Re: Disobey stop sign-stop on wrong place AND permit request

. And the permit ticket can be cancelled if I show it in the police station with in 72hrs, which I did it. There is one thing I do not know. It is that the permit request says "on the highway", Is that include the local area?

FYI The ticket does NOT have to be voided if shown within 24/48/72hrs etc.

By the sounds of it the section is 12(1)(d) which there is no set fine, therefore the officer does not have a fine to give at roadside, therefore a summons is issued.

Re: Officer Alters Official Notes

Every speeding trial (10+yrs), my notes are altered and I explain this to the JP. I have never been refused to use them. There just has to be a logical explanation for the alteration.

Anyway, if you think the officer did whatever to the notes, when the officer goes to qualify notes, this is when you can ask the JP about this situation.

2) A copy of both sides of the officer's copy of the ticket.
