im a red P plater, got mi license 3 months ago, how much demerit points do i have? is it 6 or 12?

i got flashed on a 70km road doing about 100 over give or take, as i was slowing down, didnt see it at all, the jellyback was walking round his car at the time it didnt click to me, then i got flashed, i thought it was a bright sun reflection in my eye then i looked bak and was like ohhhh ffs.

how much do u recon the fine will be? hopefuly mum or dad can take the points and i pay the fine, anyways im off to morley go get a whistler pro78.

It could be either $300 and 3 points, or $700 and 5 points for a regular license AFAIK, but due to the fact that you are a p-plater, you may need to prepare yourself for one of these...

lol um u lose ur license

but if u meen u were doing 100 in 70 zone.. depends exactly how much over u were. wen i was a p plater i got done for 28 over. was 4 points and like 350/400$ cant remember

i think 30 and above is reckless driving and loss of license tho.

you'll probably lose it for 3 or 6 months. doesn't matter about the points, you're going have zero.

red platers in nsw have 4. any speeding fine here is 4 points.

Not the same in W.A tho.

LAst time i heard p platers and non platers have 12 points each.

You cant compare states as each has their own legislation.

You wont lose your license. I got done doing 135kms on the freeway (I had to get home and go to bed cos it was late and I had work the next day... Never again!!)

It was 5 points and $700. A radar detector is a good idea, but so is slowing down. I''ve lost 11 points in 12 months, trust me, speeding isnt worth it!!

I've paid more on speeding fines then a radar detector would cost >_<

yeh just slow down aye.. i have lost my licence twice and ot took twice for me to realise it sucks, i havent lost a point in 15months and drive every day, there is plenty of motorsport available to give ur car a good thrashing.

yeh i spose the way id been driving i was bound to get fined sooner or later it was on alexander drive comming towards hepburn (in malaga), i personally think 70k's is too slow for that road anyways, the left lane usualy moves at 80-90k's, i dont know y i was speeding i just took off from the lights, built it up to 100 then started to cruise over the hill.

the reason i hate driving the speed limit...every single car drives up my ass even in the left lane, they usualty have some piece of shit lancer/excel or something along those lines, they change lanes give u a dirty ass look, then rev the living guts outa there 4 banger to make it move, just makes me wna shoot past em.

another example, on hepburn (80ks) i had some cnt in some new sum sort right up my ass, usualy wen some1s tailgating i speed up a lil, to prevent road rage, so i get up to 90 ks stil up mi ass, 100 still there, by tghis time i think he wants to race or something, 120 still there, i boot it to 140 still there so i just turn off, do a U-turn and come back to find the guy pulled over with his interior light on, my guess wud be calling to hoon hotline, even tho i wuda been driving the speed limit if he wasnt half way up my ass

edit: oh yeh i bought a whistler pro78, he gave it to me for 500 coz i told him wat happened, might get a scrambler after i do some research to see how legal they are, and apparently zenon gas charged headlights (just those halogen ones) contribute to preventing a reading from lasers/multinovas so i might start driving with headlights on during the day too. the detector is pretty good, picked up a cop car on the way home, and i went past the camera again (so tempted to run it over) and the detector picked it up as soon as i turned the corner, prbly a good 2-300 meters.

u were 30k over slowing down? atleast ur honest..

u've been driving for 6months?

"personally think 70k's is too slow for that road" "100 over give or take, as i was slowing down"

some of ur previous posts along the lines of: 'car isnt fast enough anymore', 'cant do good burnouts' etc, sounds to me like you need to chill out on the road.

kick back n relax its not a race champ.

edit: to clarify, reckless driving is when ur doing 45k over the speed limit

I've had one of those detector dealies and I lasted in my car for a couple of months. Even the good ones seem to go off for no reason. The best way is to learn the hidey holes the man uses and be ready to hit the brakes when you see something that doesnt belong...oh or slow down

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
