Default dodging fines?

Hello all,

A thought. Due to two recent infringement notices. I bought myself a Valentine V1. Been testing it the past 2 days didn't know if it was working but on the freeway it worked a treat. Gave me a noise and showing something behind last night I looked in rear view and saw nothing...thought it was false alarm then blue flashing lights. I thought I had been busted. It wasn't me.
Today it went off near exit on freeway. Slowed down loads of cars blasted by me I thought maybe a false alarm...another half km down road hidden in bushes bloody radar!
So good start for it. I also use waze app but I don't think it's a popular app in Australia. Which is a shame as it's good for social reporting cameras and hidden cops.

Anyone use anything else? Thoughts ?

I think you may have missed the point of in Intro Thread.

Hi my name is (Insert Name)

I drive a (Car Make / Model) with (No / A Few / Too Many) mods.
My future car plans are (Long Term / Short Term Goal)
Etc...

After that you have made yourself know to all then ramble about radar detectors. There is also a section and threads about them

All this aside Welcome and post picture and mods list ASAP.

I use the "don't drive like a dickhead" method. It's worked pretty well so far, you should try it.

Is it a proven method?

So far it is. No fines since I started driving. In fairness the first car I owned (a clapped out 69 Ford Capri) wasn't really capable of speeding. The odometer only went up to 99 999 kms and the previous owners weren't sure how many times it had reached that figure.

Same for me, 10 years of not (getting caught) driving like a dickhead, and 10 years without a fine or demerits or even being pulled over for that matter.

So tell me more about your waze app: I'm assuming that's why you started this thread as you didn't try and sell me a V1.....
