I don't normally have any problem with the popo but today.... different story
Well today I was coming back from work along my trusty route of Canning Hwy and left onto Berwick. The intersection of Berwick and Canning Hwy has got some roadworks going on, so traffic was deviated around it. I wanted to avoid cagers acting like idiots and chopping and changing lanes and in doing so, put myself at risk of a "sorry, I just didn't see you, you came out of nowhere" incident, so I thought I'd hang a left onto a no thru road/one way street (ie you could go up to a point, but then the rest was blocked off so as to only allow one way traffic) before the intersection of Berwick, only to have some police farce members/c*ntstables pull me and over and ping me $100 and 3 demerit points.
I can live with $100 but the 3 demerit points is ridiculously excessive - before anyone says it, I have my full complement of demerit points so it's not like I am worried because I am treacherously close to losing my licence, it's just excessive - I mean that's 1/4 of the available demerit points.
The other thing that shat me off was it was just so opportunistic - they must have been in need of some doshola from innocent citizens - I mean it's a one way street for farks sake.
