Get a lawyer and hope for the best. Simple as that. At 38 Km/H over the speed limit you're going to have to be one lucky SOB to get anything less than having the book thrown at you.

I'll repeat: GET A LAWYER AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

mate of mine got done 168 in a 100 zone, court case was 15th got 12 months and a $400 fine, not including the impound $$ and the fact he got done miles away from anywhere, so he had to return there to pick up the car...I think he got off pretty lightly really, although he had no priors, and is an old fart, still was a tosser act and now he has to pay for it.

I guess it depends on where, when and your driving history.

mate honestly what are you expecting? just because a big fine and no licence is a great annoyance to you is not a ground for getting off or getting your punishment reduced.

i got done at 39 over, a bit over 2 years ago. you need to man up and cop it.

Think about it this way. For all the money you save on petrol you can buy your car something nice when you get your license back :ninja: I saved almost $2000 because of my suspension and then bought a set of rims :banana:

How you can appeal it etc?

It will be on the court summons your most likely going to get, or the fine when that gets processed via VicRoads.

Wait for it, and take it like a man. Thread over as its just going to be here say for the most part.

And please, for goodness sake use english.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
