As others have said if you don't speed you won't get fined. Having said that if you are going to speed its best to be at the upper end of each bracket so that you get maximum value for your dollar!

Get a big memory card for your Navman and set the unit to record your trip details.  I know of people who have got off fines because of them being able to provide evidence of their actual speed at the point of camera.  Requires a court appearance tho.

I have made use of the "good driving record" letter and received a warning letter withdrawing the fine  instead.  i beleive its a "once every three years" thing here in Vic - ie, no accumulated points in a 3 year period.

$75 fine for 9 k over, you blokes have it lucky.  Down here, that would be $130 plus. 
Oh , thats right, i forgot, we have no mining industry down here and we're broke.  Govnt needs to make $$$$$$$ somehow!

I got done same 9k's over here in Adelaide and the fine was $200+ and we HAVE a mining industry!!!

Yep....60 k/ph is the LOWER limit....everyone should aim for 63 k/ph  !!  ;D

A lot of people think they can travel at any speed they like ( under the limit )... and while legally they can.....anyone doing 50 in a 60 zone.....or 80 in a 100 zone, is selfish and should be forced off the road and shot !!...... or at least flogged  !!   ;D

In Vic you can write a letter pleading your case. Clean record of 3-5 years and must be under 10kph. Usually you will get off. However Penalty Payment office has 60000 of these letters at the moment so I'm told. Its clogging the system. PURE GOLD!!!
I hate the cameras as it gives me a bad name.

Hi Mainey,

I doubt anyone has fiddled with the photo in the speeding notice. Sprung fair and square. As you say, the image shows your GPS on the dash (recent purchase).

Forget Google Earth for time frame accuracy (the images could be 12 months old).

I guess you are saying the GPS didn't warn you of the radar or speed limit. You did mention recently that it would be good if all cars came with a GPS. This might be an argument against such a move.

Never trust your GPS for radar locations or speed limits (or even roads). Our GPS often tells us we are over the limit near home. The speed limit changed over twelve months ago. Doing 55 in a 60 zone - you are over the speed limit!!

They aren't the be all and end all of devices. Very handy and quite valuable at times but have their limitations. Such as up to date software. Impossible to maintain for all regions all the time.

GPS or no GPS you got done speeding fair and square.  Just grow a pair and go pay the fine.

Something to keep in mind that a consumer grade GPS is indicative only, it is susceptible to a certain amount of error.  I really don't think it would stand up in court against a police speed camera what would be regularly calibrated and would have records that prove so.
Do not PM me for technical advice - start a thread.

I think it's a solar problem where as the extra charge from them going through the 6 B&S wire to the batteries has caused the 100 amp isolator to trip and make your car go faster ...

That's my theory and I know I am right  ;D ;D

A big THANK YOU to those who knew just how to get the desired results
Obviously the matter is now closed lol
