Police Fines/Infringments you can laugh about now..

Hey all, I know its a little weird but for myself i'll always laugh about the time I cut through a round-about at roughly 11pm, it was of course an accident and was a notorious round-about for low visibility - but the reason I laugh is that it was a country town, this late at night there are no cars what so ever around, and the only car that happened to be at the same round-about as me was the po-po - which of whom was probably thinking the same thing as me "No-one else would be awake at this hour" as he was speeding through the round-about. He "had" to slam on his brakes. Of course it could of ended tragically but nothing bad happened so it's ok to laugh.

This cost me $350.

What fines/infringments have you gotten that you look back on and laugh at?

I got fined $400 for drinking a rum can on a train in Sydney - I reckon that's a bit steep!

ooooooooooo - 79 in a 60 zone - ouch.... my licence was on tender hooks there for a time, but I have been a good boy for a while and currently demerit free.

A couple if times I was 'looked after' by bush cops out where I used to live - one in particular I must have been doing 150 or 155 and he only wrote me up for 128 so I didn't lose my licence. Living in the bush you used to travel those speeds just to get where you were going faster. I have also been caught talking on a mobile when I had a working car kit - po po says well that's a bit stupid isn't it - what could I say but a sheepish, yes mate, sorry. $220 for that one.

Ha ha ha, I enjoyed looking at those photos. Makes me think of all the speed cameras around Melbourne :S. A funny one I remember was from my dad... he was looking directly at the camera and smiling.. lol - I can't really remember the circumstance or why he was smiling but I do remember him saying "I think we've just been booked" .. lol

The beauty of being over here on a visa (pretty much the only benefit) is that I can still use my UK licence - therefore I don't get the demerits just the fines !!

I suppose I have to mention the one where I was showing off my brand spanking new drivers license to two hot chicks in the car next to me...and there was a cop hiding in a turn-left lane just over the crest...

Not too funny lol, my first offence, 6 dats after I passed my test, 98 in an 80.. 3 points and 250 bucks.

Since then I've had two other speeding tickets and one failure to display P plates...total of 9 points and 720 bucks. On two good behaviour bonds atm.

You'd probably get fined over $2,000 and lose your licence for 6-12 months if got caught doing that in Australia. You would also have to go to court.

my friend was doing 140mph in a 45mph zone and he got lucky because the police didn't have his radar on. so he got a ticket for doing 65 in a 45 zone

I rolled right through a red light, because I was looking for the turn after the overpass. $100 fine
