Busted!! :S
My first time on the Gold Coast in over 6 months - & I got pulled over by an unmarked cop car who told me he had me going at 40+ kph's over the limit so roughly 90'ish in a 50 zone apparently...
Was trying to follow some friends back to their place & they'd just crashed the lights & gone ahead, didn't know the address or my way around the coast well enough to find their place, so stupidly I tried to catch up to them once I was through the lights...
Got a little further up the road and saw the little red & blue flashing lights which mean that I was royally fucked, started thinking to myself.... maybe they're not after me ... maybe they're not after me ... wait, no they're after me
After the usual interrogations and a few trips back to his car to check my licence on the system & that, the cop tells me that I would be up for a $700 fine and Loss of license, and then he would start inspecting my car for defects .....
....If he was a Traffic Cop - but, luckily for me, he doesn't deal with traffic stuff, only hardcore crims and drug dealers & that (& I guess he didn't have a ticket book or something)... So after scaring the bejeebus outta me, he just let me off with a warning & told me to take it slow from now on
f**king LUCKY! Learnt my lesson though, & I don't think I will be going back to the GC for a while either!
P.S. - When are we having that track day!?? Me want to go *broom* *broom* in my big red car! ( *Legally* )

Haha very, very lucky bud.
I have a sorta similar story.
My mate was leaving for WA at 1:20pm and I had set my alarm for 12:30pm so I coud wake up and go see hin off, pity I slept right through it until 1pm.
I woke up, looked over, and decided I could make it. I had to travel 30-40km, in 20 minutes. I almost made it. Quick summary as I gotta go soon, but basicaly 180 in a 100zone, 120 in the 50 zone, 120 in the 60 zone, adn then the undercover found me. I had covered 30km by that stage in 17 minutes (or less as I got dressed in that time as well).
However, I think these guys were detetcives or something, as they didn't seem to know my exact speed, and I got the absolute minimum fine. I don't know why I wasn't done for 120 in a 60 zone, dangerous drivingm and banned from driving for like 6 years so the only explanation I can give is that they were detectives and didn't have a camera.
Where they caught me was after a huge body of traffic I took on the inside using the parking lane.
I will never drive like that again, for two reasons. 1) its the hardest Ive ever driven, and will never need to again, and 2) Its an auto-loss-of-liscence deal, which I really can't be without. Most of the driving was done in the country, but the 60 & 50 zones were in town on the larger roads. I'll be the first to admit it, I was young and foolish.
