Hi ive got a question about fines I think i got snapped by a speed camera last sunday at wollongong no more than 10 ks over probaly 5 or less really which is a 4 demerit loss for red P's so my question is today i just got my green P's which means i have 7 demerits am i safe from being suspended or will it count as a red P offence becuase i was on my reds at the time.

being a P plater the rules are still rather fresh.. You have since progressed to your greens which means the fine was not finalised if infact u were pinged (RTA is notified of infringments as they are processed by police etc).. So you will be keeping your licence because they would of informed you at the test that u had a outstanding offence that has not been served..

If you were pinged for less then 5 I doubt it would go through as they have a 10% margin for error. I have a friend who is a cop and thats what he told me. OR u can play the innacurate speedo crapola if u can still do that??

Hope that helps put your mind at ease.. If you dont recieve anything over the next 2 weeks then your safe for sure.

Cheers,

David

^^ Lol lucky birdman

Last time i did the innacurate speedo thing it failed...even with dyno proof and a stat dec letter...but it did delay the fine process for about 2 years :D

I had an offence on my red p's that carried over onto my greens a few years ago. I didnt get the running out of points suspension but i did get the 3 month 30-45 one.

I'd say youre gonna get the suspension unless you were under the 10% margin of error.

Thanks for the replies it seems we are thinking along the same lines if i got snapped it looks like a suspension if i do get the fine i can ask a few people to take the point for me

it just seems a bit harsh if i get done for 5 ks over and loose my licence but thats life i guess lol.

Thanks again for your input.

My sister got done and was going to lose her license I think she took it to court because that would delay it enough that she'd get some points back so you may be right now that you're on your greens. And if you have 4 demerits I thought you could still drive until you got booked again i.e you really have to lose 5 points to be disqualified?

Accumulate 4 demerits on reds and you're out.

Also, the 10% thing is a crock of shit.

Most HWP will give around 10KM/H on 70+km/h zones, but they don't have to.

ADRs are written such that the 10% is no longer +/- but it is now that the speedo can only read 10% higher... IE, you're travelling at 100KM/H, speedo can read from 100 - 110KM/H

years ago it used to be able to read from 90 - 110KM/H... Not any more.

If you were only 5 over, you're probably safe, I've been through most of the cameras in WGong 5 over and never been done.

"If" you do get done it may be on your greens. I'm only saying this because a bloke I know got done for dui on his p's and the cops said to him if you get your full licence you may get less for being on your blacks...

All else fails ring rta...

Actually the speedo only needs to be accurate within 10% to 40 km/h to meet ADR's. Above 40km/h and its what the manufacturer specifies.

.

You used to get 4 points on your red p's now you get 3, so to be disqualified you need 4 points, on the old system that meant 5 points to be disqualified from driving.

      We have 2x Swifts and my plans for a Swift, unfortunately, do not extend to an intake and an exhaust. I've been having dirty thoughts about a 2.5L Suzi V6, AWD gearbag out of a suitable donor, rear floorpan graft to take the rear cradle from same, and either trumpets of evil or a small supercharger. If I'm going to make noise in a Swift, I want it to be anti-social, evil handling and rough. Probably need to be fully stripped inside, matt black paint, plastic windows, 7" wide wheels, big brakes, silly suspension, etc etc etc. I have no idea if any of the proposed driveline components could take the pain. But it would be a hoot finding out.

      Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile
