The fines are huge,and they come out of profit.

Oh well,whatever rocks his boat.

Our staff often nominate their wives as the driver,but that can only go on for so long,takes 3 yrs to get them back.

In the good old days,when we had 9 points,and 4 as a P,one could clock up all the points on a P,but by the time the paperwork was done and the letter arrived,you were on an open.
Or if you did lose it,just slip over the border and get a license in that state,all was good as the states licensing

departments were all different,and didnt communicate between each other.

What's the betting some didn't even want a refund?

Unfortunately never made it there,so didnt meet him.

Spent 30 yrs contracting in those places of paradise though and met quite a few over the years,some quite high profile.More recently one with the surname Abbot comes to mind.

I wonder how his mate Costello got on without him on stage?

And the art of juggling, paying some straight away and dragging others out, as the points weren't attributed until the fine was paid or found guilty by a court.

A big, ugly, hairy bloke I played cricket against, got his wife to take the rap for a fine, as he was short on points.
Sometime later, the local sarge knocks on his door and queries the case. Hairy bloke replies that it was his wife driving, to which the sarge replies, " Well mate, I'm sorry to tell you, but you have the ugliest wife in Australia!" and produced a close up shot of said hairy bloke at the wheel.

Not surprised,the pic of our guy who was holding the phone is very good.I can easily tell it’s him and the phone plugged into the car.In fact it would be difficult to transfer it to any female.
I can even see the phone is in a case.

But the speeding pics seem to be a lot worse quality.
I suppose these will get better with time.

I'm surprised you don't have hands-free in your vans, Paul.

Or paying by Mastercard before it was all electronic and getting a number wrong or putting in an incorrect expiry date used to delay things or even start the process over again - ultimately still had to pay but on your terms - eg changing NSW licence to Qld and then to ACT so when you lost your NSW licence (my sole vehicle was a bike at the time) you already had a ACT one and the trail via Qld was a bit hard to follow.
