I was pulled over by a highway patrol car at 12:10am after work on the M7 on a long weekend (double demerits). I am a P2 license holder and this is my first offence after holding my licence for around 3 years. I definitely do not deny going that speed but I honestly did not realise that I was that much over the speed limit because there were hardly any cars on the road. It was only untiL I saw the patrol car and checked my speed that I noticed. I completely understand and agree that this is negligent on my behalf but being my first offence and it being double demerits I was hoping to at least get the suspension time reduced. I requested a review and it got declined so I will be going to court this month.
What do you guys think the chances of at least getting the suspension reduced based on the circumstances?
I agree, this was that Anzac Day long weekend that fell on Thursday so it was Thurs-Sun, busted after work on Friday morning, guess I should’ve just stayed home that night lol
