Default They don't always get it right

I had to fight a wrongfull prosecution when the money machine got it wrong.
Here is the letter we sent them.
To Whom It May Concern:
Re Penalty notice Obligation No 0513876043
We wish to dispute this penalty notice as no offence took place at the time date and place as listed on the penalty notice.
As we are regular travellers of this rout we are well aware of the speed limits through the town of Trafalgar in Victoria.
This is a four lane highway with two lanes going east and two lanes going west.
At 8:58am on the day in question we were travelling east towards Taralgon where the speed limits go from 110kph down to 80kph then down to 70kph then up to 90kph then back to 110kph at no time along that road through Trafalgar does the speed limit drop below 70kph in the east bound lanes.

However the speed limit does drop to 60kph through the town of Trafalgar in the westerly direction heading toward Melbourne.
Maybe your camera operator was not aware that the speed limits are different on the east and west sides of the highway.
I have videoed the road clearly showing the posted speed limit signs and will present this as evidence to the magistrate should this matter have to go to court.
Hoping this matter can be resolved without any further aggravation,
Yours truly,

I hope someone got their arse reamed. The camera operator must have realised something was wrong when he was getting every car
Cheers,
Bryan
