Speeding and L's (1 Viewer)

[zeek]

Okay, so today i was driving and was exiting from a round about when i saw a cop parked at the side of the road with a camera on the car.
When i checked my speedo i was probably going 54-58km/h (i forgot what it was because im so freaking paranoid!). I don't mind paying for the fine if i get ticket but i'm worried that i will have to restart my L's "period" (i.e. do another 6 months). What would happen in this case?

PS: I was probably 1-3 metres behind another car

EDIT: limit was 50

speeding on your Ls, well, unless the cop is a dickhead they overlok it, afterall, u arent pose 2 no how 2 drive yet. and if they is sumthin over it u can appeal on those grounds.

but, as the cop didnt book u on the spot nothing is likely to happen.

^ Likewise, I think if they didnt pull you over straight away you're fine..

And wasn't the rule that your supervising driver cops it?

Who cares, it's nothing to be worried about =]

How come people don't know that the radars on the side of the cop cars are not cameras, they do not take pictures. If you don't get pulled over nothing can happen.

So they can't even take your number plate down and then send you the fine in the mail?

Well speedos on regular cars have a buffers of about 4km/h-5km/h.
50-55km/h is nothing in a 50 zone. There is a small leeway.

Just as a point of interest,
In NSW you CANNOT be fined whilst on L-plates, you can only be charged, but you can be charged with ANY offence under the various acts.

^ What do you mean by charged?

Charged with what?

Oh joy.. all myths dispelled

Learners have No demerits, so how could they lose 6 points for speedign 45km or more.

That's because you're reading the wrong column =.=
