Expiation: worth fighting?

[FoxtrotGolfXray 5.0]

From the SA Gov website:

56—Stopping for a red traffic light or arrow
(1) A driver approaching or at traffic lights showing a red traffic light must stop—
(a) if there is a stop line at or near the traffic lights—as near as practicable to, but
before reaching, the stop line; or
(b) if there is a stop here on red signal sign at or near the traffic lights, but no stop
line—as near as practicable to, but before reaching, the sign; or
(c) if there is no stop line or stop here on red signal sign at or near the traffic
lights—as near as practicable to, but before reaching, the nearest or only
traffic lights,
and must not proceed past the stop line, stop here on red signal sign or nearest or only
traffic lights (as the case may be) until the traffic lights show a green or flashing
yellow traffic light or no traffic light.

My bold.

I had an infringement waived for 60 in a 50 on a double demerits weekend. The cop was the one who suggested I try and get it waived as he could see my driving record was clean for over 10 years.

Of course, that was only true for NSW, he couldnt see the multiple infringements I had in VIC....

Mine was all shouty with the 'I can book you for 161 or 135, but I'm gonna book you for the 161!'

Mint record as well, but you get that on the big jobs

They finally let me back on the roads yesterday

Only proviso is only ONE letter per 3yrs..

They say for under 10 over the limit but I wrote a letter for a bloke at work when I was an apprentice who couldn't read/write English and they still waved him for the fine for a 13 over the limit.

The proviso was he was supposed to buy me a slab of VB and he bought me nothing the ****ing dog.

Early lesson in my working career
