What's the penalty in QLD for this?

Surely not $500 + $130 Costs and 3 months disqualification.... And they call Oz the lucky country....

More jail time than murdering a granny.

He got off pretty lightly compared to what he'd get hit with here. And we also have double demerit point penalties as well.

From the NZ equivalent

"Speeding
Speeding fines increase progressively from $30 for speeds less
than 10km/h over the limit, to $630 for speeds up to 50km/h
over the limit. In addition to a fine, you will also incur demerit
points. See the Demerit points section for more information.
If your speed is more than 40km/h above the speed limit you
can get a 28-day licence suspension, and at more than 50km/h
over the limit you can also be charged with careless, dangerous
or reckless driving"

Which means you go to court. Still Robert exceed the limit by 118 kph and the fine was the same as if he was doing 150.

"Demerit points remain active on your licence record for a period
of two years from the date of the offence. However, if the court
disqualifies you for a period of six months or more, any active
demerit points recorded on your licence record at the time will
be cancelled and will no longer contribute to your active demerit
point total."

I just love his justification in court - I know speed!!!! What a champ.

plus he states he's not too disappointed with the ban for the next three months as he's a 'fair weather rider' - ah ha ha ha ha...... Lucky for the cop he was only in third gear by that stage....

You guys got room for an Aussuie over their mate - might jump on a boat and move accross me thinks!!

 

[Shin-Ken 1074]

Yeah Rusty, the Kiwi's are looking for Aussies to relocate right now. Most of them moved over here and now they have run out of workers and with a Kat you'll settle in pretty quick.

Depends on the judge - there is one who'd let him off, another would see him with 12 months min
