The town I live in gives massive fines for going just 2-3 miles over the speed limit.

Each adn every public holiday there is a mass influx of police with their cameras. This Australia day I went past no less then 4...and am proud to say I wasn't speeding at all :-)Tails and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565455202635460139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487905613482791820.post-22136940059667286532011-01-27T13:52:50.961+11:002011-01-27T13:52:50.961+11:00It's a total bummer, but what can you do?

Especially because your day had seemed so nice up until then. I'm so sorry for the fine, but it could have been worse. And even worse than that, if you had an accident (your fault or not) with an unregistered vehicle you could have winded up uninsured too. And that includes health insurance. So, be glad that you're all safe and healthy and count your blessings. And it's a shame the policeman didn't see the road biker. But as one cop said to me when I was getting a speeding ticket why he didn't pick up the guy who overtook me "You can catch all the fish in the ocean". Pooey! (Oh, and get your car registered!!!)

I have no doubt they see some awful things in their line of work and I couldnt do what they do. And the guy really was quite nice, considering........ My post is just a little gripe about my own experience. xBubby Makes Threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723345730045459610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487905613482791820.post-40547476428257688142011-01-27T09:44:59.519+11:002011-01-27T09:44:59.519+11:00I can speak from the other side of the fence on th...I can speak from the other side of the fence on this one - as annoying as it is, and i know, this has actually happened to me before! (i was 5 days over & had completely forgotten!) My boyfriend of 7 years is a nsw policeman & i can tell you they definitely dont have quotas to fill, even on public holidays. Also they do get paid overtime, just like anyone else would on a public holiday. Before i was with my man, i didnt think that to much about what police did - its a bloody tough job & they see some absolutely horrible things that stay with them for a long time, and spend the majoity of their time protecting us, the non-criminals ;) - from seeing or knowing about these things, and risking their lives to do so. A friend of ours was killed on duty this year. Unfortunately the only time most of us normal, nice people come across the cops is when we have slipped up & get a fine leaving us feeling annoyed! Hope that didnt sound like a rant! Just know what its like on the other side of the fence - these guys are just doing their job which unfortunately usually results in people having the shits at them ;) Totally sucks about the fine - and dont worry, my 'contact' didnt help me get out of mine lolSallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760329212918552978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3487905613482791820.post-70943472131901517472011-01-27T08:45:13.181+11:002011-01-27T08:45:13.181+11:00Oh NO!

And it just makes it so annoying that you saw the idiot on the bike just before. <br />But you know what, Glen was pulled up the other day as the cops thought that he wasn't rego'd. Apparently they've got this number plate detecting software in their car that puts your number plate through the system and lets the cops know if you're not registered! Glen was pulled over for not being registered, even though he was and his new sticker was on and everything... but then he told the cops that he paid the rego and changed the sticker like 5 days eariler and then they had to phone the RTA to double check and confirmed that their fancy pants software was not up to date. So yeah, that's probably what happened to you guys but I am upset about it, esp after hearing your story as it's complete revenue raising and as you say they spend all this time assessing rego stuff (with a system that doesn't even have real-time updating) and they could be out catching people that are actually breaking the law!
