Speeding on the Motorways: Slowest ticket?

Zubeneschamali · 28-10-2010 11:58am #1

I've only been done once, at 172 km/h. I've driven many thousand kms at 130-140 with no tickets to show. So, how slow can you go, and still get a ticket?

121KMH??

Technically its over the limit.

I suppose 130-135 on a radar gun may be allowed, 140-150 on your speedo?

GF's dad was stopped on the rock road recently doing 72 in a 50, guard said to him they were only pulling in those doing more than 70...

from what i remember hearing at an rsa event recently, they allow 10% usually. but they do depend on conditions at the time. so about 132 km usually on a motorway but if the rain is falling hard, anything above 120 can be stopped!

I got stopped well in excess of the speed limit but got no ticket as it was a medical emergency.

In fact I got an escort for most of the trip. I still want to thank the Gardaí but I don't know who it was

Other than that I've had no issues

I've passed a few speed checkpoints doing 140-150kmph on both bike and car but never pulled over.:D

I'm of the impression that the speed camera's don't work that well with bikes. It seems to be the case with me.

Gasto's are hilarious on a bike too. But blinding if your close.
