when they pull u over and say "u were travelling at such such speed...", do they really have a proof or r they just estimating...? so if i go to a court, would they bring the proof with them and say "sorry.. u r fu(ked big time..." ?

and does it cost me any money to go to a court ? do i have to buy a lawyer? or can i go by myself?

thank you in advance... (plz take this seriously and give me some good advice coz i might have to sell my car :D )

didn't double the limit... what would they do with my camry even if they impound it though...:D

i think there was another cop in the car (i can't remember for some unknown reason...hehe)

ed, do they have a formal proof though? not just second person backing up? ;)

they must show you the radar readout if you request

then find out when calibrated etc (they will say like in last 2 days but i would double check that)

if no radar, go to court

say this guy keeps harrassing you (only if you know you werent in the wrong)

most of the times the coppers let you off with a warning if no radar readout

andrew : yes i got my licence back in november last year... :D

okay, this is what happened...

i got out of the go hill free way (city -> chatswood -> epping)

i was on pacific hwy near chatswood (3:30am, no cars arround), didn't look at my speedo... i see this car raming up to my arse sooooooooo fast with so much enthusiasm i knew it was cops straight away... as soon as i brake, they turn on the lights... we go into side street... a cop says i was travelling at 110 in 60 zone...

i am pretty fu(king sure that they didn't travell 400m to estimate my speed... i am not sure if it was an unmarked car or an actual police car with radar...

i will goto court just to see if anything better will happen...

i heard that if i go to the court and cops don't turn up, the case gets dismissed...? can anyone confirm this?

That is true... If they don't turn up, the judge dismisses the case and you're free to go. But they usually turn up from what I hear.

Also, I heard that if you elect to hear the matter in court, they have to do it within 9 months of the date of offence, otherwise it gets dropped also? Can anyone confirm this one?

Sounds like entrapment/harrassment.

If you weren't much over the limit and they did not follow you for long and have no gun reading, it sounds like they were just picking on a GT-R owner...

What right do they have to tailgate you?

T.

haha... :D

they were actually picking on a camry owner...

they still don't have the right to tailgate a camry though... :)

(i don't know if my camry is even capable of doing 110...)

IMO 110 in a 60 is very different from say 140 in 100 in freeway conditions.

theres traffic lights on that road, what if one turned red? do you have a chance of stopping in time?

Around 3:30 am a lot of newspapers deliveries and stuff are happening and these cars do stop frequently, this is what they will ask your defence in court.

I dont think you can get out of this, If it was something else like 80 in a 60 or 70 in a 60, then all the speedo calibration issues come into play, but 110 in a 60 is a lost cause IMHO.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
