this morning i happened to sleep in and was late to school so i was in a bit of a rush considering it was 10:15am..was gong through lights turning a corner and spun out as it was pissing down raining and was pretty slippery. Ended up going sideways around the corner unintentially as it was pissing down raining and spun out in middle of the road. Next thing i know while i continue to go is a undercover in a black unmarked VE pulls me up. checks the car does what a cop does and tells me "we'll be sending you a summons in the mail for reckless driving.

Just wanted to know what happens ect..fine, demerit points, license or anything..

i know i should have be driving more carefully specially as it was wet but i just had woken up and was in a rush. So i know i should have taken my time a bit. But yeah.

i know if i wasnt ina rush i wouldnt have spun out and like i said it wasnt intentional to go sideways around a corner in the wet. im not saying i dont deserve whatever i get but i want to know what happens when i get a summons or whatever

lol at the guys posting that he was driving recklessly blah blah blah its all ur fault now take it up the ass. he did own up to it and just wanted to know what would come of it.

but any way yeh tough break man...pretty harsh to give u a summons...but u'll just have to cop it and not be so fast next time.

good luck :P

Both Reckless and Careless are summons offences for court. There is now a penalty notice for careless driving but I believe only can be issued to offending driver in circumstances of minor accident with no injuries.

I personally would think it's a bit harsh to get done for Reckless in those circumstances more likely Careless and fail to have full control of vehicle would be more appropriate.

I would say that if charged with Reckless you would be lucky not to get a suspension but if careless is the charge and you don't have many traffic priors then fine and points most likely outcome.

yeah see i thought id be done for careless driving as what i did wasnt intentionally..i havent had any prior offences at all. i thought perhaps a warning or a on spot fine would have been sufficient as its not as if i did it purposely or do it for the sake of doing it.

and thanks everyone for the advice and info keep it coming if theres anythign else to say

seek legal aid.....

I agree, I've done the same for careless driving in court. Vic Legal Aid is free anyway, so it doesn't hurt.

Just tell them you had no intention of doing what you did and you shat yourself and it was scary and you've learned your lesson, and they will probably go easy on you. I got 3 points and 150 fine, after doing something pretty stupid.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
