What happened to you ?

ive never been caught that much over the limit, but, when you do, you will loose your lincence for 3-4 months, and on top of that you could loose it for another 6-12 months...

what u do??
I'm sick of my knob going all floppy and loose in my hand  :P

You guess correctly. But id say more along the lines of...

"See! I told you i could chop a Rexy!!  ;D   *Wooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww*  :o..... You think i can take highway patrol?"

 :P

But in all seriousness, never been in the situation, but my mates have. My mate was done for doing 74 in a 50 zone (great western hightway, 5 mins before the end of the school zone). Got took his license for 3 months, got a 475 buck fine.

45km + is pretty much instantly loose your license for 12 months, plus something like a 1.5 - 2k fine. If your lucky.


EDIT: Just checked the RTA Website.... bad news chris....

i've been done at 32km over, got a $500 odd fine and 3 months loss of licence.

only person i know that got done for that much over is jayjay, instant loss of licence for a year and $1500 or something. not cool.

most of us learn the hard way, but you have to learn sometime, $1500 and no licence generally makes you learn quick.

well,

this is my first offence so we'll see.

i have to appear in court :(. they took my license (the card) on the spot, i never got it back...

because im a p-plater, this is going to fire up nicely.. i can see the magistrate flaming me with "do you watch the news?" "do you think you can drive like a hero?"

meh.. i felt perfectly safe doing that speed but oh well. Not on the st... on the track next time.

i don't know what i want to do with my car, it makes me speed :(.

Oh well, lesson learned the hard and expensive way.

If you'r car makes you want to speed maybe you should drive a slower/less powerful car until you can control your urge to go fast, race f00ly sics on the street.

There is a time and place like you said to go fast and it is on a track in a somewhat controlled environment.

Also just because you said you felt safe going that fast dosn't mean you are, one slip (hit some gravel etc) and it is all over red rover.

I must say though that it is a shame, seeing as you just spent x amount of dollars on your engine.

ouchies. you non WA people got it harsh.
41k's over: 'why were you going to fast' 'over taking that guy on the moped who speed up but i still annihalated him'  'Do you know him' 'yea i work with him'  'alright $350 and 4 points'

29k's over: 'why were you going so fast son'  'didn't see the road works signs'  'oh well look out in future, $250 and 3 points'

'31k's over: 'why were you going so fast son'   'ahh..felt like it'  'was that corolla your mate there'  'no sir'  'well your a stupid fuck you got a carload of mates'  'agreed'  'well thats $250 and 3 points thank you very much'

No I dont want commendation.
I still dont believe that speed kills either, just not knowing the limits of your car. And of course speeding when its appropriate.

Chris not good mate, I am not going to tell how stupid that speed is. Everyone speed's, you were just unlucky enough to get caught.

Chris and all the rest of the guys on here who live in capital city's. Because there is a huge population in one area the goverment puts more cops and speed camera's. Use have more of a chance of getting caught then people in the rurual areas. The Goverment dont give a shit about the country areas. All it comes down to is EASY MONEY.
Your car may be able to go faster.
But I can go any where. except into a garage, underground carpark, bridge...

2 sticks and manual locking hubs. have to get out to drive it around
Good old Nissan.

KA's are the shit. According to all the info on the site, they are better then sliced bread and thats saying something.

I got booked just before christmas for doing 80km/h in a 60 zone, but I was only doing about 70km/h. The cops weren't on the same road, I was on a service road and they were on an off-ramp which was about 30° to the road I was on.

But the fastest speed I've legitimately been caught doing is 75 in a 60.

lol the magistrate normally steps into court and for 5 minutes he sounds good but after that you can tell the guy /girl hates his/her job, when i got done the guy walks in n sounds like a monotone robot. lol poor batards, i felt more sorry for them rather than me standing there gettin prosecuted, he deals with the same shit every day!

In teesdale dave, 30km outside geelong... the cop there has said to me in person after pulling me over in the Bluebird

"obey the 80kmph and 60 zones around town and I really don't care if your doing 120 or so on the highways around here, just do NOT speed through my town again mate"

Then let me off with a warning after I dropped the names of my girlfriends parents who live in teesdale :)  What a champ :)

it's only been two days and im already feeling the effects of it...

let me just say, don't bother street racing, yes it might be fun and cool when you win, or race something you've never taken on before, but man.. it's not worth it...

it makes me think now, all that money i spent on my car to be quick, what for ? I got to unleash it once and i got done for it...and big time...

i've made the decision i need to sell my car, it's too tempting to just full throttle first and second, the feeling of being pumped back into the seat and listening to WOT is too hard to refuse.. im being serious.. i'll loose my license again if i keep it.. it's not a matter of controlling myself..

because you see with me, i have a problem, when people laugh at what i own or have a passion for, i get cut and defensive... i'll prove myself.. how do you prove yourself in a car ? you give it what it's got... so being like that, im sure another hero will pull up next to me and have a quick smirk at the car... or better still ask me "what u got?" ill go him, and probably get done again...

i need to settle down, now at a young age, organise my funds to something that will help me later on, spending 8-10k on a car is just going backwards, it's not something i like to do, even though it was a good experiance and learning curve. i gotta smarten up.. life's getting too hard to fuck around.

Why do you think it is taking me so long to build my U12? Simply because i have more important priorities; the car is a hobby, and always will be. That's the way i look at it in the long run.

I believe it is around 217 bux,plus costs.Its the insurance going up that kills you because it makes you high risk.
