It's pretty cut and dried really, In QLD, no streetlights = 100 km/hr, regardless of what surface the road has. We don't count bitumen as infrastructure. Any magistrate would throw this out straight away, it is just a shame you have to waste your time going to court about it. I would get someone in the car to go over the route and take a video in case you need it, or in case a sign gets put there in the meantime.

I say if your on the busa see the lights and they did not see your plate then give them run for there money, but don't get to carried away just getaway go home park up for the week then take it easy for a mounth ..
See a lawyer with all your paperwork. You should win your case.
Most people don't fight it in court, that is what the copper is counting on as most people just take it up the ar*e & pay the fine.

They say two wrongs don't make a right why should the police break the law to catch you. I dont how many times ive seen the police speeding with no lights on, turn without indercating, busted tail light. I have even followed one and he was just speeding to get mcdonalds and stuff his face. Who makes sure there doing the right thing it's not like we can pull them over give a ticket.

I feel for you. I copped a speeding fine to just before our xmas double demerits came in. I was doing 77 in a 50 zone. Had only just left work and had been stressed for a while and just simply wasnt even looking at the speed i was doing. I was just driving. To my surprise i didnt even realise it was a 50 zone and didnt think i would even be going that fast.
So $361 later and 4 points. Not a happy girl. And it wasnt even on the bike.
Good luck with it all.
Here in NSW you can ask for a review if you have a speeding fine however they will make you pay it most of the time if it is over 15k over and you have had other speeding fines within the past 10 yrs. Seriously who has a clean record for 10 yrs?
