How important is your licence?

(assuming it was by a radar gun) You can contest this in court and have a good chance of winning but it will cost you for $$ for a good lawyer. I believe the standard method is to ask the police for the guidelines of use, a certificate of compliance and a certificate of callibration for the radar gun. I essence you are challenging the accuracy of the gun and the procedures used by the user. (all of which I have been lead to believe the police are reluctant to produce)

There are specialists in this area and their advice should be sought.

Good luck with the first one. The new units must be calibrated every time before they can be used. The only chance you may have is that where the officer was positioned in relation to where you are may have given an inaccurate reading.

if you have a bucket full of cash you can still beat it based on their methods of calibration

i had similar thing police provided a piece of paper saying it was calibrated that day or the day before and i had a specialist tear them apart just a letter from the specialist cost me $800 the whole ordeal went on for 1.5 years and cost me like $1600, but i didn't have to miss a day off work and i was proven innocent which to me was worth it as i too was looking @ loss off license

Yeah sure mate, I can guarentee that no person will ever recieve a fine for breaching the speed limit by 2km/h let alone get branded a hoon for it but why let facts get in the way of a good rant :P

The poster admitted he breached the speed limit by 18km/h, doesnt deny it. Hes not a bad bloke nor is he a criminal, but the fact of the matter is he has breached one of the rules of the road by more than just a trifling amount. It is good to see he is more concerned with accepting responsibility for his mistake and going about trying to get his licence back.

Pepsinator I am off work for a few days sick, I know a lot of this stuff off the top of my head but unfortunately not exact numbers etc.When I get back I will see if I can find out some more details for you re this matter and avenue of appeals and/or what happens when you get your licence back.

the italics mean sarcasm. just so you know.

Self explanatory.....just saw that you realised what i meant....its all good

I HAS I HAS !

i got done for 80 in a 50 but they didn't have proof of the speed and did me for "exceeding speed in built up area" which was 3 points , then i got done for no p plates in my dads work car when i went to get dinner, and the cop at the time said the usual shit that "its up to motor reg to decide" , and well 100% of the time they disqualify you.

i got a letter of disqualification in the mail a week after i paid the fine saying id lost my license and that it was a breach of my probationary conditions.

i took it to court and had a letter from my employer and the judge was forgiving and understood what had happened and gave me my licence back

only shit thing is im on 1 point for the next 2.5 years but i don't see it being a problem as i learnt my lesson when i got done for 80 in a 50 and now i dont

speed anywhere no matter what.

Pritty much the same deal for me there mitchamus, got done for doing 80 in a 60.lost the licence and apealed it for work and went to court and pleded my case and got it back with 1 point. Im also the same as you mitch, i dont speed any where for anything. its seccond nature to me now seems i have been doing it for what feels like an eternity.i think its actually made me a worse driver tho. its made me that paranoide ill litrally look down at the spedo every 3 secconds or so.

But what really shits me off is my gf who speeds absolutly everywhere atleast 10 - 20 kmh over and in the 4 months or so we have been together NOT ONCE has she been done by a speed camera or radar.since she has been with me iv drilled it into her that its not on but she still does it,it just doesnt get through no matter what i do. Beleve it or not shes actually the better one out of her friends. One of them is by far the worse driver i have ever seen and im at a loss to how the F*CK she got her licence. once she managed to spin out of control at a right hand corner from a standstill on a dry road and end up in someones front yard. Shes never been done for anything ether. I cant wait for the day they get done and have to go through the same shit.

End rant.

EDIT: Oh and mitch i would be looking into what conditions are on your licence too. i thought after my 2.5 years were up id be moving onto my full licence......until i got a letter in the mail the other week saying that there are changes to P1 and L licence holders about using hands free kits and stuff. Now to my understanding i wasnt on P1 or P2 or anything like that as i got my licence long before that stuff came in and when i lost it and got it back that all happend long before it came into affect too. I tryed ringing motor reg to sort it out but after being on hold for an hour and a half i gave up. My licence runs out soon and if i have to be stuck on P2s for another 6 months ill be severly pissed off!

I'm no expert in these matters, but I would've thought the notice was pretty self explanatory :blink:

Jack, it all comes down to getting cuaght at the wrong place in the wrong time.

You always see people doing huge speed runs on various roads at various times of the day and they never get caught, yet another person might be going 10k over the limit and get pinged straight away.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
