Speaker 1: I want to know.
Speaker 2: Now, look, it's a safe it's a safe space here,
Speaker 2: no judgment. Have either of you ever copped a fine
Speaker 2: for speeding or for going through a red light? Obviously
Speaker 2: by accident. Never, no one's doing this stuff on purpose,
Speaker 2: I would hope. I think, have you ever gotten a misdemeanor?
Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest lie I've ever said, Laura,
Speaker 3: like that this is a safe space and no judgment.
Speaker 1: I'm full of tell me what you did and then
Speaker 1: I will judge you for it. But I want to know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, definitely, Yeah. No, I've had my fair share
Speaker 4: of fines. I got caught on one of those mobile phone.
Speaker 1: No, that's terrible in the midst. That's that's done.
Speaker 4: I did try to dispute it and say that I
Speaker 4: was actually holding like a cheese and crackers and I'm
Speaker 4: sorry that I Yes, I.
Speaker 3: Have been done for speeding once before. Yes, I accidentally
Speaker 3: ran a red light myself. Now, look, no one likes
Speaker 3: receiving fines. It is That's the letter no one ever
Speaker 3: wants to get in the mail.
Speaker 2: In Australia's like especially, fines are so expensive, Like if
Speaker 2: you get done for a parking fine, you get done
Speaker 2: for a speeding fine.
Speaker 4: It's the point.
Speaker 2: It's a bad but usually it's the money because it's
Speaker 2: so much money here, right, Yes, you know they say
Speaker 2: it's revenue raising. Imagine getting a misdemeanor. Imagine speeding and
Speaker 2: getting up one day, going to your letterbox and opening
Speaker 2: the mail and you've received a fine. Now consider the
Speaker 2: absolute horror that you would feel when you see the
Speaker 2: fine and that fine is one point four million US dollars.
Speaker 4: What's happening.
Speaker 2: It's happened to you, No, it didn't happen to me.
Speaker 2: There was a guy in the States. Basically he was
Speaker 2: driving and he was considerably speeding, like he was at
Speaker 2: the high end of speeding. He was going one hundred
Speaker 2: and forty four kilometers an hour in an eighty or
Speaker 2: ninety kilometer like he was.
Speaker 1: That's a million dollar fine if I ever heard one.
Speaker 1: That's someone who knows that they're speeding.
Speaker 2: That is purposeful speeding, right, he is absolutely fanging it
Speaker 2: down a freeway where he shouldn't be. So he woke
Speaker 2: up the next day and he received a fine and
Speaker 2: the fine was two point two million Australian dollars.
Speaker 4: What's a typo that can't be true. That can't be real.
Speaker 2: Well, he called up to try and contest the fine.
Speaker 2: Surely this cannot be real, that one slip.
Speaker 3: You don't have a spare like two million cash laying
Speaker 3: around for a fine.
Speaker 2: And so he gets on the phone and this is
Speaker 2: what he has. No, sir, you either pay the amount
Speaker 2: of money on the ticket or you have to come
Speaker 2: to court on December the twenty first at one thirty pm.
Speaker 4: It's a scam that he's trying to be scammed. No,
Speaker 4: he was not.
Speaker 2: Now he ended up going to court to try and
Speaker 2: to test the ticket because surely it can't be right. Now. Look,
Speaker 2: it does turn out that maybe there was a little
Speaker 2: bit of a glitch. I don't know exactly how much
Speaker 2: he was supposed to be fine, but it was an
Speaker 2: auto generated amount and so he received it as an error.
Speaker 2: But imagine if you didn't. I mean, you're always going
Speaker 2: to go to court.
Speaker 1: No one's going to phone fine like that. The wife's like, man,
Speaker 1: you've got to stop doing this, like we're running our
Speaker 1: cass that.
Speaker 4: This is a twelve million dollars in fines this month alone.
Speaker 3: Funny when I got my speeding finals on the highway
Speaker 3: and I was speeding. I noticed that when I saw
Speaker 3: the policeman pull out, but I wasn't speeding by much, right,
Speaker 3: Like I think it's like, what's the one seven common
Speaker 3: is over?
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so he pulled me over and I had tinted
Speaker 3: windows or something. I was in some car. I wasn't mine.

Speaker 3: to him. And he looked at me and then looked
Speaker 3: at the license and he goes, you do know you
