Yeah, my stress levels are right down thus far


The copper even fully believed I did it by accident, and dropped the fine down to doing over 10km over rather than 25km, but that's still 4 demerit points and a $250 fine If he acknowledges it was unintentional then why the hell not just let me off with a warning?!
Well I got slapped with a $250 fine and 3 demerit points just for touching my mobile to activate the hands free car kit at a traffic light.
Talk about the irony... wasn't going to call or sms but doing that just in case the wife calls.
Tried to do the right thing but the copper wasn't listening and just wanted to issue the fine.
Very off putting... No room for a warning as well.
