Hi, I'm just wondering if there is much chance of success in being exonerated for speeding fines, where I was not speeding, and the police have pulled over the wrong car?
I know that sounds suspicious but it is the truth. The police car pulled me over 1 km ( 5 minutes) around a corner from where they supposedly took my speed, and said I had been driving 20 km/hr over the limit, and I know for a fact I hadn't been. My husband was in the car with me and I was driving slowly as it was his new car - we even discussed our speed as we saw the police car!
They didn't have my licence plate, only that I was driving a 'black car' and it must have been me. I must have been out of their sight for 5 minutes before they pulled me over. They also said we had been overtaking other cars, while we were sitting in the left lane not overtaking anything!
I wrote to the SDRO, but they said that because I had a caution 9 years and 9 months ago, they couldn't grant me leniency. The caution was given to me when I first moved to Sydney and started driving over the harbour bridge. I was very nervous, and I was on my way to a Nursing Conference. My husband had told me I could take a certain exit, and then when I turned onto it, I saw a sign too late, that you couldn't use the exit between 0600 and1000!
I don't mind the money, I just don't want the record as I know I wasn't speeding!
