Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if it's possible to request the alleged speed on the fine be reduced by a small amount - in this case 1KM/H.
My fine is for driving 100KM/H in a 80KM/H zone.
This puts me in the exceeding the limit by 20-29KM/H bracket - which is $400 and 3 demerit points.
Where as if the alleged speed was 1KM/H less, I'd be in the 10-19KM/H bracket - which is $200 and 2 demerit points.
Has anyone had any experience making this type of request in the past, or does anyone know if this is possible or not?
It's worth noting I'm in WA if it makes a difference.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Sad news friends.
In WA the recorded speed is reduced by 1KM/H for speeds between 0-100KM/H and 2KM/H for speeds over 100KM/H.
Meaning my detected speed was actually 102KM/H and not on the border between the two brackets like I thought.
It's also it's worth noting all infringement penalties and allocated demerit points are set by legislation, and therefore, cannot be altered. WA Police have no authority to alter or override this legislation.
Someone hold me :(
I hope this is helpful for future readers though.
