First up 55km/h is a bullshit fine! I challenge the cops to have data loggers in all their personal cars and police cars too.... I bet those hypocrites do those sort of speeds every day.
Maybe ill drive around constantly checking my instrument cluster, then When I am in court for tail ending someone or running over someone, I can explain how the current policy of our brave police force to push pathetic fines on drivers for driving to the conditions (looking at the road, not the speedo.....) forced me into a dangerous habit of continually taking my concentration away from my surroundings and most importantly, what is in front of me.
Anyone who argues for pushing fines for anything less than 10km/h over the limit (except school zones) is either blindly ignorant of basic common sense or just plain devious.
make a formal complaint regarding the person who hung up on you. it will at least piss them off when they have to do some more paper work... at best might cost the bastard a promotion etc.
