Damn Chris :)

I have not been in this situation, so i can't give you any advise.

Good Luck with what ever decision you choose. I know Ash knows a good traffic solicitor, maybe have a word to him to discuss your options.

thanks Al...

yeah there is one guy who is a guru....I'm onto him already.

I might just delay with letters for 6 months...just cos I can

I'm over it now..time for more F&F DVDs

thanks for letting me rant a bit makes me feel better...

its not a crime if nobody's getting hurt :)

Someone who should by all rights be unlicensed or on a 0 point probation for the next year, continues to carry a license with no probation because someone else took the points....I LOVE double standards ! :)

my uncle keeps asking family members for points, all up his probably lost 30+ points but hasn't lost his licsense because of different family members taking the blame each time instead of him lol

its not a crime if nobody's getting hurt :nyaanyaa:
It's a crime if it's against the law. And perjury is against the law.

But typical of society today - noone prepared to take responsibility for their own actions.

Chris, if you elect to fight this in court, and drag the time out then you may recover enough points to hold onto your license when you eventually decide to pay the fine and a little bit extra for the privelege. They cannot remove the points until you have been found guilty or choose to pay the fine. If you state you are not guilty then they have to prove it, not just arbitrarily take the points until you prove you are not guilty. If they have then the Vic govt is taking a substantial chop at your rights, but then you are a motorist - the worst type of mass murderer ever......

Sorry to hijack, a question for GTRGeoff.....

If in a far away land, a motorist were to be caught by a fixed camera on the reverse side of a bridge doing 7km's over the limit, how can this speed be acurately measured as this motorist tells me there are no lines on the road indicating distance measured etc nor which lane the camera was focused on as there were 4 (potentially any of the space craft travelling in any lane could have commited said offence).

Any thoughts?

Al, there is a fairly detailed answer required there, but it depends on the technology used. In the case of radar we have seen parked vehicles and slow coucil buses on a huge uphill climb being booked for outrageous speeds. There is just no reasonable argument for a citation from a cameras within 10kmh of the speed limit and it should be left to the human element (Police Officer) to determine whether the speed travelled is considered dangerous, else it is just revenue raising. Feel free to email me or give me a call if you want to have a thorough answer.

if its in Aus. then nearly all "certified" fix speed cameras use a pezo/pezo/pezo or pez/loop/pezo setup.

I did test some trial untis a few years back with radar but they always sucked.

yep thats the plan Geoff.

Essentially my understanding is that the TIN is cancelled once you "object" and obt to take it to court. Therefore I'm hoping that when i do this I new date will be used...

we will see... gonna see anyway

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
