one of my drivers at work has got off radar fines twice just by asking them to produce evidence of when the radar was last calibrated first time they could't find the paperwork(ie it hadn't been done ) second time the officer was to busy to go to court so it got thrown out ,waste of time I don't think he still has a full licence

Mate TMU workers have contested hearings every week and they have heard it all, you bringing anything into court isn't going to help you. At the end of the day you sped and got caught.

And as far as showing pictures to a Superintendent to get the police officer charged, I wouldn't waste my time or embarrass myself. My 2c.

Well the TMU doesnt apply, his been done in NSW and he can bring whatever he ikes to court. Admissabilty vs inadmissabilty will be independently decided by some old cranky bloke behind a bench.

I.B.

I'm not talking about admissability, I'm saying it won't help. But by all means, try.

TMU seeing as I'm from Vic, but whatever traffic unit callsign may apply to the relevant state or territory.

I'm not talking about admissability, I'm saying it won't help.

Why wont it?

Just my opinion is all, not worth much lol. Just had a bit of experience in the area.

Take it to court and let us know, will be interesting to find out.

I'm not on here to argue, goin to watch a movie now. Catch.

dude, I feel your pain, only diffrence is I lost my licence for 6months, it was about 3am drivin home from my missus house, jus cruzn doin 85 in a 80, the diry SOB hidin behind the base of a bridge, clocked me at 85(mind you I seen him do a u-turn so I breaked) then followed me into a 60 n got me for 25 over, even though I was doin 60 in a 60. he just got a hard on when he seen then word TURBO next to a green p even though im perfectly legal to drive it. I work security in a hospital n the same officer bought in a high risk patient, he wanted to leave cuz it was his knock of time, he recognised me and he stayd there for another 8hours, hahaha. dirty.. that's my useless story

I would contest it. If the user guide on this speed detector states not to use it on hills, then obviously it's not set up to give accurate reading in this situation. I know in Victoria it's not legal for them to set up shop at the bottom of a hill without proper authorisation from someone high up. Setting up bottom of a hill is nothing more than revenue raising as far as I'm concerned. Everyone builds up a few kays on the way down. The should be getting people in places where only idiots would speed.

Title changed. Can't really call them "Dirty Sneaky Slimey Cops..." when you were the one breaking the law and they caught you doing so.

There's no excuse for travelling 30% over the posted speed limit.

What about trying to outrun the cops - that's a good reason...

Good reason for what?

testing your intercooler?
