I lived in Australia for 2 years and drove around the entire country in a run down 1972 Mazda 1300. I was stopped a couple of times for speeding by police there and escaped without a ticket each time.
I'll never forget the look on the police officers face after he pulled me over. I was stopped in Northern Territory. I was driving an out of state car from Victoria and I had an international Canadian drivers license. He didnt' know what to do. Why bother ticketing me since I wouldn't be around very long to pay the fine. We had a nice chat about my travels, then he let me go with a warning. If only every ticket could be that pleasant an experience.
I received a parking ticket in Perth as well while I lived there for a while. It made a nice addition to my travel journal where I taped it in for decoration! :lol:
Sorry to have gotten off topic with this story! :wink:
