今晚我收到了我的第一張 (亦是最後一張) 超速駕駛罰單 (speeding ticket)! ><" 都是自已唔好, 敗在個「趕」字! 以後唔敢啦!!! : O
Intro:
So the incident occurred in Glen Innes....the streets were so dark (just the right spot for catching speeding cars...like me! ><"). It was all because I didn't want to waste time, so tried to take a shower before I go off to my guitar lesson....and hence i was RUSHING!!! BAD BAD BAD! (the worst thing anyone can be on the road is to be 'rushing'...the reason behind a lot of accidents!)
The Experience:
Anyway, it was the very very very first time I had ticket issued to me by a police! He firstly came up to my car to check my warrant of fitness, before he came to my window to spoke to me, telling that I over speed on a 50kph limit road! He then asked for my driver license and asked if the address on my license is the right address. Then he went back inside his car to get down the records and issue me 'the ticket'!
(For those who r rushing when you are driving...seriously it's not worth it to be caught by cops....one reason being....THEY TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME to get down your records and issue you the ticket...and by then while u r sitting in your car....all you can do is to watch each minute of the clock go by....they do take some time! trust me!)
Anyway, the policeman came back with the 'ticket' and my license. Then told me how much I over speed. haha He even asked if I wanted to look at the radar data (-.-" no thank you I need to get to my destination...arghh!). And funny enough, after the policeman when back to his car... a minute later he turned on the siren and before I knew it...they were chasing after ANOTHER CAR which just turned into the street. As I drove past....the cops were in their action again!!! (so fast! -.-" i'm sure they must be sensing 'other cars' while they were writing up my ticket or something!!!!)
The Result:
Well, I really had no idea that over speeding by 15kph will costs $80 plus minus 20 demerit points!!!! I 'totally' deserve this! As dad said, if I don't get the ticket this time...sooner or later I'll get it anyway! : O Stupid me!!! (If you are a driver who 'may' over speed...or if one day you over speed.....I hope you can learn from my blog post here and drop that speed of yours.....I hope no one have to experience it themselves! Don't follow my track!!!! : O)
A fine of $80 really does 'hurt' my wallet! -.-" And I actually want to say 'thank you' to them for giving a fine so high....so that people like me will 'think twice' b4 they over speed again!!!!
Conclusions:
Will watch my speed from now on! Especially at night when police cars are lurking in the dark on the streets of our neighbourhood!!! Amazingly I didn't feel scared at all when the police came....all I know is that I deserve it! : O
So......I will definitely try to 'never ever to' rush when driving from now on!!!! (even if I will be late!) And -.-" most importantly....I need to 'watch my time' from now on......and start to be punctual again!!!!! (I realised my record gone BAD nowadays.....not sure why....and apologies to those who had to wait for me! ><" APOLOGIES!!! will try to get rid of bad habit now!!!!) No more Ridiculous Over Speeding from now on!!!!!!
*P.S. - For those who like to know (and watch out for) police cars....I was caught on Tripoli Road in Glen Innes!
*P.P.S - For the record....seriously I normally don't over speed ga!!! Only when I'm 'rushing' or 'late' to something....will never ever made myself 'rush' again on the roads!!! : O
*P.P.P.S - Of coz something just for fun (below)! (Real life is never as good!!! ahha so slow down!)
i think you should have outrun the cops...... bwahahaha j/k j/k j/k
