Do you know any international students? International licenses don't have any demerit points, so if youi can get them to say they were driving then you'll have to pay the fine but atleast you won't lose any points.

p.s. I agree on not wasting money on a laywer for such a small fine. A lot of lawyers charge at least $200-$300 per hour which is much more than your fine.

Yea I'm using my international license, which is why I can go up to 0.05 while i'm 19 lol but i'm not that stupid...I'm stupid...not that stupid....if you REALLY need that point you can put it on one of my licensese

You can generally get away with it if it was your first speeding offence. Make sure you make reference to your clean driving history throughout the years you have been driving (if it is a significant time).

Also, if there were any specific reasons that you may have been distracted or have had your mind on something else, be sure to put that in too. Just don't try to deny speeding. :)

Ca Ching - This man is on the money. I got caught 2 years ago by the one on the reverse side of the Altona bridge, city bound. Wrote a nice letter to the issuing officer making reference to my clean history and priding myself on it. I received a letter back informing me that speed limits are there for my safety etc and consider it removed (fine and 1 point).

Only time it won't work (as a rule) is on P plate offences from the info others have said.

That was my first and only offence I was caught for.

Hey what, so you agree if he tells the police/court/trafic infringment office he was distracted and not concentrating whilst driving he should get off.

Groovy. :) I have an odd feeling that may not work... lol

contesting

Court costs Solicitor etc and mounting the case $3000

Expert witness to refute detected speed $1500

Cameras on WRR have been proven to detect speeds incorrectly historically so a few good precedents to work from

Looking at approx $4000 to contest.

If you win all paid for by Goverenment, lose your out of pocket 4k and fine and most likely driving record gets looked at and the fine can go up!

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
