Yeah, I'm pretty sure that 30-45 over = loss of license for one month.
My advice - Save the postage costs on that letter.. You'll need it for buying bus tickets..

unfortunately when it comes to speeding,
once they've given out the fine, they are ridgid as anything...
I guess we just have to learn our lesson 
rock on.

Sprintr, it happened later on last night, and yeah. i dont think i will have any luck with the letter either, i had a quick look on the rta site also, and it says 3 months loss of license, not 1. im screwed. go to uni 3 nights a week, i aint catching public transport at 10pm when i finish sometimes.

you'd be amazed how long it takes for the loss of licence to come thru
my brother got done *last year*, sent them a letter debating it, and he's only just about to lose his licence, 9 months later

dont right a letter if u were actually in the wrong
cause next mine if your in the right and u write a letter....they'll look at your background and see that your a whinger and u tried to get ou of a ticket b4 so youll lose credibility
thats my 2 cents anyway

30-39 over = 4 points, $250
40+ over = 6 points, $350
no suspension as yet, but i'm sure they'll bring it in one day soon

How many points do you get on your license in Perth?
In Vic it's 12 and they're there for 3 years.

I am in NSW,dunno how they would be in other states for makin this work.
But this is what my friend did, and worked out all good.
Dodge handing in your actual physical licence card.
And keep driving, just careful not to speed with cameras and shit, butr when get pulled up for RBT, you have your actual licence card, and you are sweet.
So just keep that and lay low, so cops only do a visual check, to see you have one and not fake....worked out well for friend who lost his temporary.
