Authorities 3 : Sue & Ross 0

Ross got our first speeding ticket this morning - for travelling at 95km/h on a motorway that had a temporary limit of 70km/h.  Ironic, considering that I can't usually get over 20km/h on that motorway due to traffic - you'd think they could let us enjoy the freedom of the accelerator given a clear road for once.
So the running total of road fines:
Towage when on road parking became clearway (a job centre appt overran):   $130
Towage from a shop carpark at night when the shop was shut:    $220
Speeding ticket:     $170
Total:     $520
It is a nanny state.  Thank goodness we can afford it.
