A motorist offering controversial advice about how to get out of speeding fines and low range drink-driving offences claims he’s doing ‘god’s work’.
Melbourne DJ Adam Metwally shared a TikTok on Tuesday teaching drivers in Victoria how to convert their speeding tickets to an ‘official warning’.
Mr Metwally said he copped a $231 fine and one demerit point loss for doing 68km/h in a 60km/h zone.
People who successfully receive an official warning in place of a ticket will not be fined or lose demerit points.
‘You visit police.vic.gov.au/official-warnings and add in your notice,’ Mr Metwally said.
He said Victorian drivers can apply for an official warning through the Request a Review website (above)
‘Scroll down to official warnings and if your speed was over less than 10km/h over the speed limit you can argue exceptional circumstances, extenuating circumstances or good driving record.’
Mr Metwally said he successfully applied for an official warning on account of his good driving record, adding he’s ‘an angel’.
In his letter he wrote, ‘Hi, I would like to request an official warning or this fine due to the following factors’.
‘I’ve not had a speeding fine in a very long time. The speed (over) was under 10km.
‘The road in question is extremely wide, basically a country road, that is very dimly lit and difficult to see signage.

Conditions for an official warning for under 10km/h over the speed limit (above) include a good driving record which also applies in NSW, ACT and Tasmania
‘It was quite late at night with next to no cars around me at the time.
‘There would be little to no scenario where an actual police officer would pull me over for the driving I was doing at that time and it’s likely the same police would drive at 70km/h due to the nature of the street.
‘Thank you for reviewing this – appreciate the consideration and have a wonderful day.’
Drivers can also apply to have their tickets retracted based on good driving in NSW, ACT and Tasmania.
