Published: June 9 2017 - 11:37AM

You know you've messed up when police fine you for "being a dick".

That's the bluntly honest explanation written by a driver on a speeding ticket dished out by a police officer in Karnup near Mandurah.

The driver of a Holden was pulled over on Mandurah Road on Thursday for doing 137kmh in a 100kmh zone.

When asked by the officer why they were speeding, the driver seems to have replied "just being a dick".

Points for honesty perhaps - but the driver copped six demerits and an $800 fine.

Mundijong Police praised the officer's actions enforcing traffic safety.

"We are loving the work TEG team 2 are doing down this way," the station said online.
