Maximum fine of $2200 and minimum six months loss of licence.

However, I believe in NSW there is a scheme for those deemed to be habitual offenders. A habitual offender is someone who accumulates 3 convictions for serious offence within 5 years.

A serious traffic offence includes; driving at a dangerous speed or in a dangerous manner, furious driving, reckless driving, menacing driving, negligent driving where death or grievous bodily harm is occasioned, drink and drug driving offences, fail to stop and give assistance in an accident involving death or injury, driving whilst disqualified, cancelled, suspended or refused, or a conviction for an offence of exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h or a conviction for unlicensed, never licensed.

So, if you get caught 3 times in 5 years committing any of the above offences, then the penalty will be at the discretion of the courts.

During sentencing, the courts will take into account other things such as your criminal history, traffic history, good behaviour etc.

The judge i had told me that the speed i was clocked at has a penalty of 9 months jail

And this police officer was going faster then and done it twice

I think it's pretty true too that some people seem to get away with a lot more than others depending on who they are. I know that there are circumstances that may be different in some cases but that cant always b the case
