You actually realise if you are doing 40km/h in a 60km/h zone when its not a school time because you are unsure that it can actually become fustrating for other motorists. It can also be the soul purpose of a crash. Lets face it, there are impatient people on the road, and you dont HAVE to be speeding to cause an accident. Clearly marked out zones are usually around, if not, its the council that should be blamed. Not every child goes to school (not many at all, if any) at 7:30am, yet, that is when the rules are imposed.

I take very due care whilst driving around Canningvale, hell, im stuck inbetween a high school and a primary school, plus theres another one as im driving to work about a km down the road. I am surrounded by pre-pubesant delinquents that take no concern for the saftey of them selves at any time hence having to be constantly alert. As for trying to talk your way out of a ticket, if you were on a motobike, chances are alot higher.

Cause kids are always late to school. I didn't see any at 7:50am. Though Im sure that would have reminded me. Cop was doing his job, can't be angry at him.
Just picked a prick of a spot, as always.

I was sort of inbetween schools. and I didn't remember seeing a sign when I came out of the side street. Still $150 feels a bit steep, not as if I was doing 80km/h with kids all over the street.

I know the last school I worked at... the signs were so obvious that I never ever went over 40. I guess it's just because I came out of a side street inbetween signs and wasn't thinking.

LMAO Sphoolin... Giddy's part of the thin blue line bud....think he could probably tell us all from first hand experience about cause of accidents.

Unfortunately the developing brain of a primary / high school student has no capacity to assess risk for self harm so it may appear they have little regard for their own safety. I guess that explains why so many extreme sports are dominated by young people. The older ones are prob the ones who got brain damaged earlier in life.

oh yeah for sure, if u do the crime, expect the fine, im totally for that, and as for school zones, definently agree with you.

The only reason i bought that up is because i recently was involved in an incident where i had a dude tailgate me thru a school zone and when i selected the right hand lane he got pissed and gave me an ear full of horn to which i responded with the finger. any way he got my plates and so did a witness (after the witness tail gated me as well afterwards). I got both their plates as well but the fact that its two against one and i was in a "hoon" car according to them (the general public) does that go against me if a police report was lodged?

Sorry to hijack the thread

sorry to say, but anyone who speeds in a school zone, accidently or not, doesnt really get any sympathy from me. That being said, it sucks getting a fine and points for for licence. Also I got a flashed the other day, but NOT in a school zone, so I cant critisise too much
