i spoke to my lawyer today who i will be speaking to properly at his office. He seems to think they have little chance of winning if i contest it in court. The court fees and solicitors fees don't really bother me, it's more so to prove a point that he should NOT be able to do this.

Take the advice of your solicitor. Police already have prima facie evidence as soon as they present the device. He then presents his expertise and the video and you are toast.

Too many crusaders who try to prove points clog up the court system. It does not worry the police. They are paid to be there and it does not worry the solicitor. He will happily take your thousand dollars to defend a $300 fine. It is the system that suffers.

Proving a point is only costly to one person. The one trying to prove a point.

But if she's on her reds it's an automatic suspension and because it's 37 over the limit it may be a longer suspension...

Mandatory 3 months off the road for any speed for a P1 licence. She then loses it for a further 3 months for demerit points.

But if she's on her reds it's an automatic suspension and because it's 37 over the limit it may be a longer suspension...

Versus taking it to court, maximum penalty imposed, licence CANCELLED (Not just suspended)... I know where I'd be going...

Sorry I haven't been replying.

I was on my green p's and it was an automatic suspension because I'm a p plater.

The rta says it will be a further 6 months due to the demerit points.

Have an appointment with the solicitor tomorrow, let you all know how it goes :-)

Actually courts disqualify you. RTA/Police deal out cacellations and suspensions. Signifigance being a much harsher penalty imposed for driving whilst disqualified as it is a court order.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
