damn bro :huh:

I feel ya though, once on my way back from QR I got stuck behind a convo of about 5 semis, so got to an overtaking lane and just nailed it to get past them all. Would have been in serious trouble had I been booked right then.

Another reason why draconian black and white speeding laws annoy me. I dropped back to the speed limit as soon as I completed overtaking, but would have had no mercy had I been booked in that moment.

Chin up though, dan survived 6 months without a licence, and his dad doesnt have a home brew setup ;)

Shouldn't your suspension be set? Or do u have more fines after that?

you get 6 months insta ban for being over 40km/h over the speed limit and 8 points. I only have 5 points left on my license so I will get a suspension for loss of demerit points as well. Pretty sure loss of demerit points is a 3 month suspension but it could be 6 months. so yeah...

Gbers that's no good.

Not really.

Got to look at the bright side I spose. I get to live on the Gold Coast for a year. The way things are going I might be able to keep it which would be sweet. Would probably be smarter to sell it and be debt free for awhile though.

In 35/40 years of driving I have been without a license for 1x 12 year period. a couple of 12 month stints and numerous 3 and 6 month slots.

You can do 6 months standing on your head Col.

it does go surprisingly quickly, but take it to court and try for a work lisence my brother is on one at the moment

The 6 months doesn't bother me at all. I f**ked up I get a holiday from the roads for awhile. Just a matter of sorting everything out so its all sweet with work and uni etc.

Yeah it will fly by lol. I can't apply for a work license because I've had one in the last 5 years so all the loopholes n shit are closed up. I've just got to take it on the chin.

License has been suspended for 6 months plus possibly another 3-6 after that.

Should only be a fixed 6 months, they cant just say 'we think we wana give you more time"

It will be all in one.. eg, you serve just 6 months

I thought that was only for drink driving?

I've been knocked back trying to get one for loss of points

Overtaking a semi and 4 other cars going up the hill through Canungra. I was in the overtaking lane but as I got to the top the highway patrol car came over the crest and got me. ;) 121km/h in a 70 zone. $933 fine and 8 points.

Your turning into me?

"If the 8 demerit points for this offence cause you to exceed your demerit point limit, this will result in another period of suspension for accumulation of points that is separate to the 6 month speeding suspension."

That's from the little fact sheet that the cop gave me.

You can get a Special Hardship Order for a speeding offense and loss of demerit points. Its different to a work license which is only available to drink driving offenders. I've had a SHO in the past 5 years so I can't apply for another one.

God I hope not. I'm not scene enough.

Sucks to be you: I lost a serious amount of points all at once, served the min. New law changes I guess.

Good luck on hard ship, I had a lawyer do up projected earnings, loss of potential income pled a license is needed, no license, no job, no job no income and that I would sue for the loss of earnings.

No dice.

In saying this, im a C*nt with shocking history

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
