Long time, no type... How's the Speed Triple going?

So, is a not guilty verdict going to get you off the points. I understand that magistrate has no say on demerit points, but doesn't a not guilty verdict essentially mean that no offence was committed?

The current affair article referred to a NSW(?) bloke who got a speed camera ticket for doing 59kmh in a 40kmh school days zone. The alleged offence occurred on a weekday when over xmas when school was not in attendance.

Magistrate threw the case out, but RTA(?) still issued demerit points. Logically, I would have though that no offence was committed.

G'day
In NSW the charge can be either not having a plate on, or if it is obscured, the charge is having an obscured plate, the fine for which is about $100, or plod could consider it an effort to avoid speed camera detection, in which case the fine is something like $900. Yes, this has been pointed out to me on the side of the road...
And welcome back adrian :-)

Hey guys. Pretty busy this time of year I would imagine Peter! . Yeah if you get off the ticket in court then it's done and dusted - the Transport Nazi's cant then otherwise interfere with our precious licence points. You guys will love this - I'm going to court today to contest a speed camera ticket for on of the five-0 . - 71 in a 60 zone on the way to an urgent job (an no it wasnt trying to catch on of us - was a big drug bust). Up here the traffic branch pursue their own just as, if not harder, than the civvies. Let you know how I go...

You guys are missing the point. To charge you for having no plate, they need to physicaly pull you over. So you dont stop. No stop = no fine, unless you go slow enough for them to follow you all the way home.
And go a different way to work, dont use the same route all the time.
