qld speeding penalties

[Birty]

I don't think anyones saying they've never broken any laws, we all have, i've crossed a few double lines in my times...But by doing so, you've got to know the risks, there's no point crying over spilt milk or picking fights for the sake of it is ?

Hey if i got caught doing 100+ in a 60 zone it would serve me right too!!!

I recently got done for 80 in a 60 zone downhill in a work car, because i was in a bad mood and not concentrating. It was bloody stupid and serves me right for not concentrating.

What sort of area was it in?

[hungry6]

i've been on 1 points for the last 14 months, and yes the laws are a joke atm. i think it's an undermine policy to get all of us into public transport. as for my last point it's only in danger if i pull over and yes i do speed on the rd and i'm not ashame about it. FARK the law. and anyone here think that they don't speed,is being a hyprocrite.

[rb25]

I agree hungry6. The government always has alterior motives.

[Muz]

Don't mean to sound too righteous here but I lost a cousin to some wanker doing excessive speed in a 60klm zone. Perhaps that's why you got fined heavily.

[MotoX]

hehe, i got the we were doing 130 jsut to keep up with you.

i argued, long story, got let of with a different fine jsut a $135 and 3 points, still lost my licence.

[Birty]

I'll definately agree, there's a time and a place for everything, but there's also 60k zones which perhaps shouldn't be either.

[rb25]

Yup Birty. I was caught on a rural road with no streetlights and right out the back of town. I would have sworn it was a 100zone but I didn't argue, she and her partner were too pretty

[hungry6]

i travels a fair bit doing my day time job and i can tell u one thing speed is a cause of some srioues accidents and have claim lives, but nothing evens remotely come close to inexperience, and by tightening the speed limits get the whole community in one go, but it will never removes the attrition rate. we are humans in the end. and to treat humans as a constant and getting results is the same as the likelyhood of seeing the pope giving birth to a son.

Chook..........bad luck son! i think your looking at 6 months suspension $700 fine and 8 points....thats for 40km over the speed limit.........i read this in a Rockhampton newspaper

[dAVE]

james... all you do is whinge about your loss of license.. dont think you can comment.

and in not all cases does 100 in a 60 zone take much loss of concentration. I was doing 108 in a 60 zone.. i over took a car doing 40 and pulled back in and was doing that speed. Was actually an 80 zone, but we r waiting to go to court on that one still..

anyway - its true if u do the crime u do the time.... no harm in whingiing tho

[Zoix]

yeah i was done for 157 ina 60 zone 2 years ago, and got my license suspended for 1 day and $350 fine.

i got done for 112 in a 60 zone, which is 8 points,6 months and $700. Then got caught doing 80 BEFORE the 80 sign on the ramp for the icb.

yes i was speeding, but ****ing hell if you know how stressful things have been for me in the last 2 months you would have killed yourself.

but now I have time to play computer games, work only 12 hour days(im at work now btw) and not able to get up to the police station to pay my fines because i cant afford to get a taxi everywhere.

[chaos]

u dont like driving slow aye zoix

[Guest JaSiner666(AFF66)]

well i'm glad they didn't catch me doing 270km or they would have f*cked me with there batton over the bonnet................

[BelGarion]

i wonder, at what speed would they deem it an arrestable offence?

[chaos]

probably when they need more than one squad car

[hungry6]

It's an arrestable offense when u don't pull over and gun it up the rd, and if u have made the choice never look back and get as far away as possible from ur last point of contact, and also prolly pay to visit a local park or nearest town house complex.

[Nizman]

anyone made that choice? I know I did once, saw a patrol car going the other way on a two land divided road. We made eye contact, I saluted :upurs: and planted it...just kidding, We both knew he cought me speeding but I had a median strip between us, so I took about 5 turns into a residential area, straight up someones driveway into there carport, headlights off, head down, sparked up a smoke.

[rb25]

Yeah! well i was caught doin 565km/hr in a McDonalds carpark (5km/hr zone) So there, I beat all of ya's, including you Zoix you speed demon.

[Nizman]

including you Zoix you speed demon

:bahaha:
