Yes, of course I did read that, and actually, I wrote a letter years ago for my elderly mother in law who was on a pension, and who would've had difficulty paying, so yes, I wrote a letter for her, which worked!
However, this being a "3 pointer", I wasn't sure whether an "excuse letter" would stretch that far, so we just paid,...all done, better things to think about,....like Bathurst!

Without going back to read all the posts, the fine had been paid before the thread was started.

I think you have to pay the fine first, and then you can write and ask for special consideration. If granted, some of the points might be restored. So Mrs Pickles could still write and plead her case.

Advisory sign.. I have found that most of them are correct...

I use them when driving trucks, they apply pretty well, but then when carting wool or another load that is just as unstable, those signs mean little as I'm usually travelling a lot slower...

There was one up near Wongan Hills, that said 90, trouble was, at 90 my 4wd ended up on its side after going over several times... Now its an 80 sign, bit late for the others that died on that corner, considering they had done plenty of work on that corner over the years but never pulled the limit down when they added a reverse camber into the corner...

Anyway, at the end of the day, its better to have no signs then the responsibility goes back to the driver and you'll be amazed how people drive then, and no they dont all do 160, very few even get upto the state limit of 110...

Fines, laws, and police are fine for the do gooders but at the end of the day, if those rules didn't exist you would find most people are very responsible and would respect each other... The hard core crims will always be there no matter what you do but the people these things apply to and upset, are not criminals... Crims don't care and have no respect for anything or anyone, thus the laws are a sham...

Just looked like a pile of rocks to me... Now I have got the glass's out and zoomed in, I do see what your saying, but technically, unless your state laws recognise the sign as a speed limit, then the sign is a warning that few should ignore but road limit applies not the advisory sign...

the sign has nothing to do with it, just a convenient place to put the camera.

In WA they just stick them in vans and park where ever... No camoflage needed... Or they hide them behind bushes...

Oh but they have recorded a Model T Ford, all original, doing over 100 on the freeway... rofl
