well i dnt have a licence until the end of july gotta re apply, the court took it off me.
YES an off duty can can book u...i always thought they couldnt but seems they can.
He never pulled me over on the day, he must of went to work did a rego check then he came to my house with a fine for 45 n ova 160 in a 100 zone.
I took it to court thinking i would win as he was off duty but the judge was on his side. so i got a $860 fine n 6months with no licence n 2 years of no engine mods so when i get my licence back i gotta b a good girl lol.

Yeah they can try! I was getting tailgated by an off duty policeman in a commo. and when he pulled me over he said i was speeding. I got the ****s and said really? well you were tailgating me and trying to intimidate me on the road. His response was "I was trying to get an accurate indication of your speed". He took my details, but I never heard back.

If he doesn't have a radar, you could contest it (and generally get away with it).

Oh.. and welcome to club Vectra..

i could understand if they busted you for street racing, neg driving, wreckless driving... but i dont know how they can bust you for speeding without a radar unless you admit to it... but i guess they did bugger

lol my cusion got done for speeding by an off duty officer. he took it to court and the first thing the judge asked him was if he had completed any defensive driving courses. my cousin showed him 3 certificates and got away with a warning.

so ive started to enroll in these courses :P
