Talk about effectiveness and high technology. This is it.
On a fine evening on 19th Feb 2008, I was driving home from work. The journey home is through different suburbs on arterial roads and i repeat, arterial road. Not highway.
It was a usual drive for me and it was getting a bit dark perhaps due to the cloudy weather. I was happily listening to my MP3 tuner while singing to it when i felt a bright flash from the left hand back corner of my car. I tried to look back and there seemed to be a car parked on the kerb of the road. I guess I know what happened but I just somehow wished it wasn't me.
Few days later, I received a letter from Queensland Transport. As I expected, it was an infringement notice. Ish, kena saman! It's AU$150 when I was driving at only 73 km/h. The speed limit at that area was 60 km/h. This will never happen in Malaysia. Speed trap in Malaysia is usually on highway or at least on roads with speed limit of 80 km/h and above. So how I wished Mr Lim Guan Eng can waive my summon as well.
However, I'm actually impressed. Take a look at my infringement notice.
First of all, I get to pay by instalment and I am allowed to pay a minimum of $60 for my first instalment.
Secondly, look at the quality of the pictures. So clear. So cool. You will never get to see this in Malaysia unless you pay and ask for it. They captured your number plate and they will send the notice to your house. Cannot run, man! So i guess it's worth the money la. Hehe..
