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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
