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?

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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. :)

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
