  • I have a tip, post this in Current Affairs.
  • Off season mate relax
  • Wear a suit
  • Wear a singlet, Adidas shorts and TN's, if the judge is a chick she'll be impressed.
    If it's a guy then say "don't worry bout the ticket or I'll fuggen smash youse dog".
  • I'm a former traffic branch police officer so I've had a bit of experience with speeding fines and court appearances. My advice for when you take the stand is to focus your questioning on the issuing officer if he/she followed correct process. Forget about the speed you were doing. Some information on process can be found online, otherwise you may have to go down to your local station and they will have manuals on how the equipment is to be tested, set up and used. Any admission the officer makes which is a failure or deviation from what it says in these SOPs and manuals and you are innocent. This is your avenue of questioning. All the best, good luck!

    • If they checked your speed using a device like a LIDAR, it's always handy to check whether the calibration certificate is up to date. Otherwise the speed check would be invalid as there's no guarantee the machine was operating properly.
    • X2 that was awesome advice!
  • Put $400 on the eels at $2.40 to beat the Broncos in round 1. Covers the fine and a little bit more for some beers.
  • Say G'day to Snake for me. He will be in court today too. I can't say exactly what for but lets just say his bail conditions forbid him from going into a nursing home or public toilets.

    • Lol
