$180 trip to work...

Post by sublime19 »

I'm driving to work this morning, same way I drive everyday. There's 2 lanes, and a small lane opens up to the right for people who wanna go right. the middle lane has the overflow of people wanting to turn right so i can either wait in the middle lane for 10 minutes for all the people to turn right or i can go in the left lane, like everybody always does, and it's a T2 lane.
There's a cop standing on the corner waving me to turn left into the street, and there's alrdy abt 5 cars there. He gets my license, tells me i was driving in a transit lane and says "well i got some good news, there's no demerits involved", hands me a fine for $189 and I just drive off.
So while I was there, for 2 minutes, that's about almost a 1000$ in fines they've issued. I'm guessing they've easily got a quota of 10 gran this morning at a minumum.. stupid people like me copped a fine :(
can't believe it :evil:

I don't know if this is true, I was talking to a guy in my break at work, he used to work at RTA in the office, he said if I get a speeding fine and I lets say the fine is for $100. If i sent in 110.05, then legally they have to send me a cheque back because it's over $10 that I've paid.
Now, if I don't bank that cheque, after 12 months the "open invoice" gets deleted off the system by default as it's been for that 12 months, I havn't cashed in the chq, so the invoice has been closed and written off, and I don't loose any demerits. He says he's done this numerous times, and it's a loop hole.
I don't know if this works, I've never got a speeding fine yet, but he was pretty confident when he told me

A mate of mine told me that he has done this as well. It didn't need to be over $10. I believe it was only slightly over the amount requested. It stopped him from losing his license, however still had to pay for the actual fine.

oh ahaha i thought u mean in the same place!

yeah those bullshit fines are annoying.. i remember earlier this year i got 2 fines in one hit for parking outside my house.. for parking the wrong way around, and for parking on the grass next to the curb (there wasn't even a sidewalk.. or anything) cos apparently i was half on council land
