Australian speeding fine?

Question

My BF was caught riding his motorcycle at 175km/h in a 50km/h zone (yes he's an idiot but I'm sure you motorcycle riders can relate). He has to go to court for sentencing, as 125 km/h hour of the limit is pretty extreme. We're in NSW and I'm really scared he might end up going to prison.. is there much chance of this happening? He has no priors for speeding, but he does have two neg driving fines...

Answer 1

The Oath That Nullifies “The truth and nothing but the truth...” ???

In Australia's court system we rely on the assumption, that all parties under oath or have taken an oath to get their job are telling the truth.

Without the truth, justice would be impossible to obtain. Imagine that someone taking an oath to, “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.” had previously taken another oath nullifying all of his oaths. Bizarre concept? Read on.

Should you ever be involved in a court action, to “insure” justice, there may be some additional questions you might want to add to your discovery, or disposition for the judge, attorney, parties to the action, or the members of your potential jury.

This article is not intended to be prejudicial to either the Masons or the Jewish people, the vast majority of whom are God-fearing people. It is merely a comment on those of any race or religion who could be duped into taking such a ridiculous, unethical and dangerous oath. The following is based upon information from: Robert Walker, P.O. Box 301, East Berlin, Pennsylvania, an authority on the subject, who has used this information to obtain the resignation of seven judges and public officials, who did NOT want this made a matter of “Public Record.”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the American Language, “the Kol Nidre, is the opening prayer recited on the eve of Yom Kippur, containing a declaration of annulment for all personal vows and oaths.” It is based on the following declaration from the Talmud (The most wicked document on the face of the entire earth.):

“He who wishes that his vows and oaths shall have no value, shall stand up at the beginning of the year and say: ‘all vows which I shall make during the year shall be of no value.”

The prayer of “KOL NIDRE” is found in Vol. 8 pg. 539 of the Jewish Encyclopedia. It states:

“All vows, obligations, oaths, anthems, whether called konan, konas, or by any other name, by which we may be bound, from this day of atonement, unto the next...we do repent. May they be deemed absolved, forgiven, annulled, and void, thus made of no effect. They shall not bind us nor have any power over us. The vows shall not be reckoned vows; the obligations shall not be obligatory, nor the oaths be oaths.”

This same prayer may also be found almost word for word in the volume of, “Revised Festival Prayers,” published in 1919 by the Hebrew Publishing Company, New York.

The Freemason’s have a similar absurd dishonor for oaths. Page 183 of the Masonic “Hand-book” states:

“Whenever you see any of our signs made by a brother Mason, and especially the ‘Grand Hailing Sign’ of distress, you must always be sure to obey them, even at risk of your life. If you’re on a jury, and the defendant is a ‘Mason’ and makes the ‘Grand Hailing Sign,’ you must disagree with your brother jurors; if necessary, you must be sure NOT to bring the Mason ‘guilty,’ for that would bring disgrace upon your order. You must ‘conceal’ all ‘crimes’ of your brother Masons; except murder and treason, and these at your own ‘option,’ and should you be summoned as a witness against a brother Mason, be always sure to shield him. Prevaricate, don’t tell the truth in this case, keep his secrets, forget the important points. It may be ‘perjury’ to do this, but you are keeping your ‘pure-obligations.” (The maxim for following such a ‘deceitful’ practice must be: “Custom is NOT drawn into consequence.” Black’s Law Dict. 2nd, 25, 1910.)

In October of 1983, Roger Rush of Portland, Maine was sued by Zane’s Department Store through its assignee, the G.E. Credit Corp. Rush, who had been researching the oaths that Masons take, knew the judge and attorney were Masons and utilized the information in his defense. In the Depositions for the Equity Discovery Proceeding, Rush presented a copy of the previously cited page of the Mason’s Handbook and presented the following questions to be answered under oath:

1. Are you, Robert A. Cohen, a Mason?

2. Is the judge hearing this matter a Mason?

3. Is/are the owner, or owners of G. E. Credit Corp. Masons?

4. Has anyone involved in this matter taken an oath of “Kol Nidre?”

Within a few days, Rush received a terse, two-sentence letter from attorney Cohen stating, “We have decided not to enter the complaint brought against you in regard to Zane’s Department Store. There will be no court record.”

Answer 2

What has been charged with?

Exceed speed over 45kph, dangerous driving, or street racing etc?

Eacah can have varying results dependant on the Magistrate.

There is a slim chance he could get gaol (jail) time, but I'd bet more on him having his licence suspended for a couple of years along with a big fine and a good behaviour bond.

You can rest assured though if he ever gets done for speeding again he'll be in it more than waist deep.

175kph in a 50kph zone is just plain STUPID. Ever met a street rider that's crashed at such a speed on a suburban road? No...because they tend to die.
