I am surprised they don't have monitoring equipment in police cars....

My own fault and responsibility, I should not have been speeding, I was in the wrong...and accept the consequences.

But the camera, behind a reported abandoned car sitting on Marmion (heading North, just after Ocean Reef Road) where no street lights are working, pitch black, didn't even see it, cheeky bastard!

Will await fine and demerits, what a way to end the weekend :/

Cheers for the concern magic1, I am fine, however, without a car for a while, which sucks when you have become so used to the independence gained, as well as lost so easily. Ironically, i was planning on attending the Noob Skid Pan session nxt month, so yeah :/ go figure.

It was my own fault, and a costly lesson in life, but I am happy to be uninjured

Cheers Brett

Asian lady in her massive CX-9 thinks its wise to pull out in front of me because she didn't think to look the other way, when she can barely see over the bloody steering column!

2 more people pulling out on me with f**k all stopping distance between me and them in the WET!!!!

Best advice my dad gave me, drive like everyone else on the road is a suicidal a moron...
