I pretty sure the $350 and 6 points for 30 km/h ova speed limit are standard fine in queensland.

You must have been doing well over 131 then. The speed you are fined for is after the allowance for error has been removed. In VIC it's 3 kph (used to be 10% + 3). I assume it varies from state to state but if the old VIC rule applied your actual speed would have been around 147 kph. Assuming you have an error on your speedo (mine is a constant +4 according to the GPS system), your speedo would have read around 150 kph.

Yea man its possible to drag it out. How ever its a bad time of year ... chrissy time is the best thats when i dragged my last speeding fine out. I was half way through a good behaviour and by the time i went to court i had 2 months left... if that till i was back on my p's but yea give it ago and speak to a lawyer thats what i did and it worked a treat was in court for 5 mins and didn't say boo. I think QLD transport believed that i'd be back in a month for another speeding fine due to my record go me 15 months later
