Title: Feels Good To Help Out Family
Post by: grog on Thursday, 25 February 2021, 06:30 PM
Daughters car broken few weeks back. Not a problem, take ours. All good. Then the unpaid toll road fees roll into mail box. Never thought of that happening. Got me again.

My daughter collected road toll fines on her visit to Australia - she ignored the summons and then had an arrest warrant should she return - Mum and Dad paid of course  :)

I guess not now as l got in and out of Melbourne a couple of years ago.......have to admit l was sweating.
In 82 was up in North Queensland somewhere, a massive downhill then up the other side, good road, clear all but one car going in the same direction as l and nearing the bottom of the dip. I had that wire tight, the XJ750 was singing in top gear. Must have been doing 180 ish when l figured out ....... it a farkin Police car !!
He pulled over onto the edge of the road as l glided past with the brakes still on, I really thought l was in deep shite.
He didn't  pull me up till about 10kms later and gave me a ticket for 80 in a 30 through some road works.
I hang my head in shame......there were many others. So a plane ticket was the cheapest option
:facepalm:  :facepalm:
