whats the speeding tollerance up here?

[Zagan]

It's currently 10klms over and your ok, so do 111klms and you'll get done.

I've done 115klm by a camera but it didn't go off, but I think it depends and how the cars are around you rather than them not clicking the camera.

I think this may drop soon though not quite sure about that, to probabbly 8klm over same as WA.

Also if your've just gooten your lic, and onto P's I think they give you 3 let offs, ie no letter after that your on your own.

and 3 red light camera let offs, ah, I've somewhat tested that and didn't get a letter 2-3 times... though I wouldn't reckomend testing it out.

it could also be 6 let offs on anything though.

Got my notice sent up today.. 72km in a 60km zone and 1 point down Bundall Way. I love it how they actually send you a crappy photo the thingo takes. Anyway, could have been worse.

I actually saw him before i passed him which was the stupist part! thought it must just be a uncover cop and thought he would have to persue me 'cause was at 10:30pm at night - didn't think they had camera operaters out at that time up here and too used to Melb (after about 9:30pm you are fine in terms of camera operators). Also was a shitty old Land Cruiser (at least 5 years old) - in VIC all cars are less than about 3 years old.

But three things good about this

1) in melb it would'a been 3 points and that means i would have lost my license

2) $100..pft!

3) i learned something valueable, i only get caught once making the same mistake...

i got one 2 weeks ago on my way home to sunshine coast he was on the otherside of the freeway and i didn't took much notice of him 111 in 100kay zone. Amen that the car i was in is reg. under my company.

3 weeks before i get 7 points back.

its simple. dont speed. normally i dont speed. thats why i dont get speeding fines and only get defects.

maybe i should make my car legal so i wont get defected.

but seriously some speedlimits are put there for a reason.(so you dont speed) haha

Alot of the time its quite hard not to speed with the attitude of most people up here on the Gold Coast. I though people rode my ass in Vic, its way worse in QLD.

Some people are insane, sit 2 feet off your bumper at 110km/h!

It makes me very uneasy and keen to speed up a little to get some space between myself and them.

It would seem that everyone does 10km/h over the speed limit if not more always, doesnt matter where it is, and if i was pull over to get ppl off my bum, id spend more time on the side of the road than on it getting to where i need to go

ANyways i know thats a bit off topic but i would like to know the exact amount of tollerance myself so i can sit a few kms over the speed limit if needed.

Being from VIC, i do not speed at all, always sit on the or under the limit.

[predator]

not that its really an excuse.. but it seems the majority up here go about 10km/hr over the limit no matter what. I just happened to get caught because i was a bit lax, and 12km/hr over in a 60zone (although at 10:30 at night!) is maybe a bit too much.

SyP40n : yeah, it takes a bit to get used to, but after a few weeks its not so bad. Its funny actually, the only people you actually see sticking to the limit are the tourists from VIC or NSW - its funny when i go past thinking "oh you poor victorian, such brainwashing"

Anyhow, its all pretty ridiculous, and puts the whole "speeding is bad" thing out the window when you can sit at 120km/hr and everybody else is doing the same and it feels pretty safe. I mean I think the amount of deaths on QLD roads is about the same as VIC, population is about the same these days - and VIC is nazi and QLD is not. So does speed kill? not really.

Just out of curiosity Pred, but are Queenslands roads worse than Vic....?

:flamed:

Let's not get started on that...

Attroceous (spelling) road design, terrible road conditions (bitchamen), and those traffic controllers, oh man... I hate them more than cops. Those traffic management controllers cause more congestion and harm than good!

*Waits for the go back to Mexico taunts*

:flamed:

[predator]

I think the opposite ! ...but i haven't been here that long i admit.

QLD roads seem a lot less congested, have excess capacity for the amount of traffic, mores sensible speed limits, and in general are better maintained if you ask me (at least in Brisbane and the Gold Coast). They're a lot wider, and in many circumstances one way streets better the flow of traffic once you get used to them. I think you must have forgotten what its like to travel on the Monash or Eastern Fwy's or in fact anywhere in peak hour in Melbourne *shudder* All of which are meant to be relatively up-to-date freeways and able to cope with Melbourne now, and for 20 years into the future.

But those Traffic Controllers are an entertaining specimin. Although it seems as if people see them up here "brain off" gear is automatically selected.
