So what's the penalty for an 'exceed speed' offense then? The answer is, depending on how much the speed was exceeded by? So the figure is just as important as the actual offense, without a well proven speed figure, offense means nothing, that is if it's a speeding offense, I would guess a dangerous or wreckless driving offense would not only relate to the speed.
I don't know why people are obsessed with radar guns there are many other ways to prove and record speed, the point is which ever one the cops choose to use must be pretty solid and not just 'I was doing ## km/hr' cos as proven in this case and from my experience, magistrates will not just automatically believe any speed figure a cop says without providing sufficient proof..
