Ok i've had a bad day,
I was overtaking one of the hundreds of douches sitting 10 under in the right hand lane on the F3 today. I was pinged coming past the Peats Ridge Road ON ramp going North. HWP was sitting about 400m up the On Ramp with a Lidar... Not too sure how accurate the Lidar is with that sort of distance? Should I have asked for a calibration certificate? I've been told this by a mate but someone on here should know more. Being a double demerits weekend i'm not very happy.. I've got no beef with the cop, he was alright about it, just doing his job. Wasn't wearing his Hi-Vis vest though and wasn't too careful about parking on the shoulder nor getting out of the car in the face of 110km/hr traffic. Now on the fine where it says "Demerit Offence? Yes/No" the officer has not written anything. He has not crossed or circled anything nor has he listed how many points. I have received other fines before (right hand turn at the wrong time etc) and they've always circled Yes or No and listed how many points. Being that there is no actual amount of points listed as punishment on this penalty notice, does this mean that I will not cop any point deduction? There is a $$$ amount which is $211. I don't see how they could legally slug me with the points when it's not actually listed on the penalty notice - to me that sounds like being chucked in minimum security jail and then told afterwards you'll be sent to the Gulag.. Extreme example I know but the point is made haha I called up the Police at Tuggerah and they didn't know, there was no-one in the HWP office at the time to help me either. Note: If you're about to arc up and say you shouldn't have been speeding, go drink some bleach. Not in the mood.
