1st Speeding Ticket!

[GT-R32]

~200 rwkw for a < 20 year old is scary.

Unless you grew up karting or something...

I had a 180rwkW 1050kg S2 RX7 when I was 18. Those were the days.

i copped $1550 in one fine on my Ps... and everything else has been "no p plates displayed" or parking tickets so more like $1800 all up :S

im suprised there isnt a wing at canberra hospital with my name on it for all the "donations" ive made

You think that Traffic offense fines go to roads and health care facilities? UNTHINKABLE!

Sadly, it probably all gets routed into Travel Junkets...

[JaiJai]

what Ive always wanted to know is if you say drive over the speed limit by a considerable amount (say 100km over) is still just >45km or is something else (dangerous driving?)

[low200]

well...

ive been clocked at 76kph over the limit and was told that if anyone was on the car with me i wouldve been charged with "reckless endangerment" and negligent driving etc which wouldve resulted in a trip straight to court. thing is, if there was someone else in the car with me i wouldnt have done it

My 1st was $1500 and 6 points on my P's.

This idiot in a commodore was tailgating me through 3 suburbs before I got the shits, kicked back a couple of gears and tried to shake him. Turns out it was an unmarked copper. He should have pulled me over the second I went over the limit but instead he switched his lights on when I was 82kmh over the limit

what a tightarse.

It up to cops discretion but there are a few charges you can get for going massively over the limit, two of which were mentioned above.

A guy I know just got a beating instead. That was in Vic though.

so he forced you too speed up to 82 ks over the limit mate you choose to put ya foot down thay wasent on ya bumper pushing you along when someone sits on my arse i slow right down to about 20 ks below the sped limit it usually pisses them of so they either go round ya or they turn off either way you aint gunn get done for speeding

[SKYLVIA]

wow, they actually beat you?

thought that was only in america...

[Sauce]

I guess you've never heard the tales about victorian police then

The only speeding fine I've copped so far was for doing 120 in a 100 zone in... A bomby old XC falcon 500, of all things...

I was young & dumb. Just got my nice new sports car so I wanted to show off. Im more wiser now however

[JaiJai]

I would have taken it to court tbh.

If the guy was tailgating you for 3 suburbs, then had a go at you (no way you would have gotten 82km/h over the limit - in ANY speed range zone - if he wasn't going with you), he was clearly baiting you.

You aren't allowed to encourage it, he was racing along with you - thats bullshit.

Yes you were on your p's.

No you probably wouldn't have got off.

But Yes you would have got the asshole in trouble.

I got done just coming off my p's for a "burnout". The cops were in the McDonalds drivethru, and just because i gave it a little bit more than i should have around a corner, they thought it was funny to book me for it.

I had a supersize lemonade between my legs ffs - how the hell do you powerslide around a corner, and not end up with a wet lap or in the gutter? The cops couldn't even prove that i did a burnout - just had a shitty magistrate.

Best thing of the day was when they were sitting their trying to book me, he's like "we're just working out if we're going to take your car away for 3 months" i replied "i wasn't street racing, there was no-one there to race against there mate, my car is roadworthy - here is the blue slip from 3 days ago, so i'm sorry officer unless the rules have changed in the last 2 weeks, that is not an option."

Smug little prick walked off and spent ~30 minutes in his "big book of fines" looking for stuff to get me with, came up with nothing.

Out of town cops are the worst.

Yea i have found that too local cops are usually alot nicer

Sorry Leigh I usually don't laugh at Beau's jokes but that was freakin hilarious.

I got my first ticket from that stupid camera on Hindmarsh.....damnit Low200 you should have said something =P

Kiddin!

[GT-R32]

Biggest fine I had was $500-odd for doing 42 at the back end of hindmarsh - really, really stupid. Was only 18yo at the time... had one <15 (which was a crock - but easier to wear it) the year after and nothing since *touch wood*.

Is that not the norm here?
