qld speeding penalties

[chook]

i got booked for 103 in a 60 zone.....$700....anyway, is it an automatic 6 months licence suspension ?? or discretionary ??? copper didnt mention suspension, although i have read it somewhere before.

[Nizman]

tuff break, sounds like you had the need for speed...I was done for 40klm/h over a few years back and it was $220 and 4 points....how things have changed:(

[chook]

copper made the comment, '5.7 litres, you had no chance of getting away'....poor uneducated boy

[chaos]

hahahaha trying to act tuff

[Guest Boxhead]

ahh ive learnt, you tell him how good the copugh cough might v8 is cough cough...

and they are much nicer to you

[BelGarion]

yes qld speeding fines are rather nasty now, and there is no discretion ie no "fine only and no points ect" if you loose more than 6 points in 6 months u get a suspension automaticly as well

[4 Doorz]

.....that's a bit tight.....

[rb25]

how things have changed is right. I was caught about 3 years ago doing 110 in a 60 zone in qld and the fine was only 285 and 6 points. im still waiting for those points. 7 weeks to go

[Birty]

Did he really say that ? I woulda asked him if that's what he really thought, and said i'll race ya then, if i win i walk, if you win i'll take the fine otherwise keep your comments to yourself officer.

[rb25]

lol Birty

[slip]

Well serves you right for doing 103 in a 60 zone.

You have no licence for 6 months.

[Birty]

You're right slip, that's the price you pay, it's always a gamble doing things like this. Can be a very dangerous one, but that copper was a jerk. Instead of saying do you know how dangerous it is, oh no, big noteing his big V8 commonwhore. He's got ya anyway, might as well let him know what you think.

[Nizman]

we'll thanks for the comments Slip, you've never gone over the speed limit have you? servers you right...pfft WTF!

[Squish_Boi]

i agree with slip, u do the speed u pay the price

[Guest Boxhead]

im with nizman here,

its not like any of use have ever not broken the rules.. im sure everyone on here has done something illegal, no matter how small or big.. it was still done...

just because some have luck with police and some dont , ohwell..

anyway bad luck chook, you can now join my no liscence club, haha i think being poor and not paying fine is working for me(in nsw you gotta pay fines for pts to work)

[chook]

im not complaining not making excuses, i asked a simple question, i didnt ask for comments about my driving. We cant all be as righteous as some.

[rb25]

LMAO: are you chook's mum slip?

[BelGarion]

serves ya right is about all that can be said, u do the crime u do the time. what did you expect? a big rant thread on how cops are revenue raising? or how they could spend the resources elsewhere?

unfortunatly there is a section in the police force known as the "traffic branch" its their job to buttf**k members of the comunity who are in a rush or need to get somewhere without concentraiting on the speedo, nothing else.

sittin round in tears and writing "cops suck" on the walls isnt gonna change much.

these rant threads have been done to death. in the old days u could get away with a 70 dollar fine or something for doin a skid, no points, so u could go all night if you had enough money and tyres and not enough brains.

as for the verbal crap u copped

my copper said "yer right, you were doin more than that, we were struggling to keep up"

he also said "p-plater" in a scornfull tone, mocked me by asking "is this your car" and then finished the whole 5 star affair with "thats the end of ya licence mate, go home and stay there"

100 in a 60 zone is a fairly high speed to be caught for anyway man

[rb25]

i agree with what NWA rhymed about: F**k the police!

[BelGarion]

actually F**k tony "kneejerker" mcgravy and peter "look at me" beattie

they are the ones who changed the points system, and introduced tougher penalties ect. its all part of the suck up to the "older voter" and the "poor dicks who build houses on main roads and expect a quiet nights sleep" plan

still, bad luck chook, ur not the only one tho, and 33s are the police flavour of the month atm.

i have just over a month to go
