    Default Happy birthday!

    Well it's my 34th birthday tomorrow and I got a nice present in the mail today, a photo of my Silver Fox! Flash for cash got me doing 70 in a 60 zone. Well I can say that's my first traffic infringement ever in nearly 20 years of driving. Not too bad I suppose, must have not been concentrating in the wrong place at the wrong time.
    'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'

    Nice to hear that they thought of you on your special day. Hope it didn't spoil your birthday too much.

    if it's your first in 20 years or whatever, can't you get out of it as good behaviour by writing a nice letter etc?

    My birthday today too!

    I admit that I was vain enough to think that there would have been the slightest chance that this thread was about me... but no...

    Why not just cop the fine? Just because you haven't had one for 20 years doesn't mean you are a perfect driver.

    I have just "copped the fine" and no I'm not a perfect driver, neither is anyone. I just thought I'd share the fact that it happened. I have no choice but to cop the fine and I aint complaining about it!

    Thanx to you other guys for your birthday well wishes and happy birthday to you 17thers!

    I didn't say you were complaining about it. I didn't even reply to one of your posts...

    just saying he might not want to fork over hard earned cash for something he didn't have to.
    it's got nothing to do with being a perfect driver, i dont think he or anyone claimed to be. just that if there's the option, take it.
    it's not like he would be claiming the fine was in error or disputing it, just putting his past record in as evidence that it was a one time slip up.

    Nah I'll just pay it no worries but I was just proud of the fact that I'd not had so much as even a parking ticket until now! Aaah well, them's the brakes, eh? LOL!
