60kph over = Instant jail

[XR06T]

the same bit of road can have different safe limits for different times of the day.

i have been pinged for 70kph+ over the limit, purely for revenue raising, on the long straight freeway at 4am with noone else on the road.

you know how i know it was revenue raising? the copper told me.

it wasn't in a school zone when someones kids were crossing the road without looking.
it was the middle of the night.

the copper pulled me over, we had a chat, he told me he has to give me the ticket, no arguement from me.. thats his job.

no mention of this being the most dangerous thing EVER and i should be spending the weekend in the slammer. no yelling.

it was as if i was asking him for directions

no one is saying that that isn't stupid, time and place..
