Great roads to ride on in the hinterland up here but so many coppers, it's all over now baby.
I would like to mount the following conditional arguments in my defence:
1. The road should not have been zoned as 60 kph, it was far more rural than residential.
2. I was only doing 97 kph as I passed a truck I had been stuck behind.
3. I was only doing 97 kph for a few seconds and decreased my speed to zero in a a couple more after I was flashed.
4. Yes I did pass on double lines but I got a busa, I could passed it twice in saftey.
But in the end I must acknowledge:
1. Im stupid, I knew I was gonna loose it but didn't change my behaviour.
2. Im selfish, I like going fast and the longer I go without speed the more I want it.
3. Im dangerous, I didn't consider for anybody's safety, including my own.
I believe the gov should lower the points system on some fine as this would keep us riders on the road longer to keep paying the road tax/ fines, we all know this is about making money.
