Man thats screwed.

I live in River Downs and travel that road quite a lot. will keep an eye out. glad to hear that you are ok. the ony thing with speeding is that if the cops catch you, they will try and say that you were racing or hooning, and thus confiscate your car. i guess it means that the cops are involved but it is a bad thing to have to do.

once again gald you are ok

yer, ive been followed by a silvia that i beat down, so i just lead em into the mountains, they stopped following me after a bit

club lock or a 4 or 6 cell mag light or some sort of large tool like a wrench would be the most legal "weapon"

Some people I know who carried baseball bats in their cars had them confiscated.

just on another note, say you got busted by a fixed speed camera going at 100+km/h how would you get away with it?

Interesting point.

What would be our recourse if we were the victim of an attempted car jacking, especially if we went to the police straight after the event, showed them the physical damage to the car and made a formal complaint.

If we then received a speeding notice in the mail, would we have enough extenuating circumstances to get off (like if you can prove that your car was used for a medical emergency, you can get off)?

Might be one to be decided in the courts methinks.

thats crazy. Especially that they actually swerved and hit your car. Dude thats wrong. And so close to me also. But its a good time to test your driving skills.

AHH but if a speed camera got u it would more than likely get them aswell coz they are chasing u. Could be a good opportunity to find out who the dudes were>??

Yeah you would hope so.

But hypothetically I was thinking that the next time I get done by a speed camera, I might just put a bit of paint damage to the rear bumper, go to the police and claim that someone was trying to car jack me.

Might work - Hypothetically of course
