Cant believe i got another road ticket. Actually to be honest i think i'm more in shock of the actual existence of un-uniformed police. After a fair bit of attitude from the cop he took my licence and said id recieve a ticket in the mail. For the record, (could i use a blog as a record?) the cop was saying that i was speeding over speed humps 15km/hr over the speed limit off a side road leading to the castle hill courts, which put me in a definitely shit mood. On top of that we lost the game. sucks.
But like thanks to the power of the internet, by definition that road which has no buildings and no street lighting, the road clearly has a speed limit of 100km/hr and it would be extreme bullshit to say i was actually going 120km/hr and even if i'm wrong about that id stil ahve to be going 75km/hr which is likely to be physically impossible with the state of my car. Man, i wish there was like a prize for winning at court, because if this ticket comes i'm gonna own this guy.
(and the cop said i parked shit)
sucks to the police.

Speed-limit elsewhere
(1) If a speed-limit sign does not apply to a length of road and the length of road is not in a speed-limited area, school zone or shared zone, the speed-limit applying to a driver for the length of road is the default speed-limit.
Note Length of road is defined in the dictionary, school zone is defined in rule 23, shared zone is defined in rule 24, and speed-limited area is defined in rule 22.
(2) The default speed-limit applying to a driver for a length of road in a built-up area is 60 kilometres per hour.
Note Built-up area is defined in the dictionary.
(3) The default speed-limit applying to a driver for any other length of road is:
(a) for a driver driving a bus with a GVM over 5 tonnes, or another vehicle with a GVM over 12 tonnes — 100 kilometres per hour; or
(b) for any other driver — 100 kilometres per hour or as otherwise provided under another law of this jurisdiction.
built-up area, in relation to a length of road, means an area in which there are buildings on land next to the road, or there is street lighting, at intervals not over 100 metres for a distance of at least 500 metres or, if the road is shorter than 500 metres, for the whole road.
