From: v on 3 Oct 2008 03:29 Does anybody know anything about this particular revenue rasier? I just got back from a long trip with the wife and kids from Melbourne up to the Gold Coast and I'm greeted by a notice informing me of a $243 fine for doing 15kmh more than the limit. They don't tell me what the limit was but I assume it was 60kmh, going by the Google maps. The notice also says that it was the "B/W Richmond and Sussex Streets". I don't know what the "B/W" means but I was just driving through on the main highway and I did not cross that intersection which is not on the highway according to Google Maps. Its probably one of those areas where the speed limt rapidly drops from 100 to 80 then to 60 and you either slam on the brakes or go with the traffic. I'm pretty sure I would go with the traffic which means that they got lots of other poor bastards that day as well. So I'd be grateful if anyone can give me any information about this thing. Do you know anyone who has successfully challenged a speed infringement notice taken from this camera? Can anyone send me a jpg of the intersection so that I can make a basis for a defence? I remember the general area and time as having heavy traffic with lots of road work. I was fully loaded (headed north) with the wife and two kids and camping gear for a 2 week holiday so I certainly wasn't driving dangerously or hooning it, but I it was two weeks ago (23rd September) so I there's no way I can remember exact speed anyway.

Google street view shows TWO bloody big camera warning sign with a 50 speed sign....you probably should have taken a break and been more alert. Like I said..go online and look at the pic.

I think you have been totally done over by the arbitrary speed limits in this state , but I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Sorry, and welcome to NSW, please come again. |
