Had a good day today...

Got home today at 10:50am, Police bike pulls up in driveway gives me on the spot for 82 in 60 zone, Breach of P conditions, so expect to lose my license. This is my second speeding offence, both on my P2's. Last year i copped three demerit points one month before i was 19 (able to get full license) so drove around on 1 point for a year and bit. Was to get my full license in 21 days when i turn 20, and was wondering as i have a month from today to pay fine and then the expiation notice will come out could i wait get my full license and get around losing my license or would this just come back to me as I technically got done on my P's. I rang up straight away to find out what I'm in for and was told i would be disqualified for 6 months then 2 and a half years on P's, but if i appeal and win i could waive the loss of license and have p's for 2.5 years as well.

Wat do you think my chances of winning my appeal are as this is my second offence for speeding both more than 15 ks over. I need my car for work so this is my grounds for being given a demerit point back.

One other question too, a workmate told me he pulled into his driveway and a copper pulled up on sidewalk and asked him too cross boundary of property so he could issue him a fine, he didn't and received nothing. Is this likely, as i pulled up driveway and copper parked at end of it and i went to to him? was this a costly mistake or was i always gonna cop it?

21 days until you get your fulls? Ouch thats nasty.

You could wait until you get your fulls, no harm trying. Otherwise, if you havent appealed before you could do that on the grounds of you need it for work.

Damm P plate laws.... yeah like typevu said, appeal it on the grounds of needing your licence for work, worth a try....

He put his lights on before he pulled into my street but was a fair way away, it was like 500m's away from my street where he would have caught me.

I will probably go for full license unless i get expiation before I'm 20 and if i get that then ill appeal. the worst thing is the cost really, first fine 370 for 18 over, this one was 430 for 22 over and p licenses are about, 150-200 all up for extensions of P1's and P2's and then if i appeal thats around the 200 all up i think, i also got done for unregistered vehicle start of last year because i forgot to pay 5 days earlier that was 300 too. and I'm supposed to be saving for a trip to Europe in September on first year carpenter wages. so all up Ive paid about 750 so far and maybe 800 to go. f**k i hate making driving mistakes like this you pay through your teeth, but hopefully i will learn.

The first one i got done in my missus mums Astra and was thankful it was a on the spot so she didn't find out. i wasn't supposed to drive the car while she was overseas but when to just get desert and came down golden way, golden grove too fast, no excuse was very thankful to the cop for 3 demerit points, literally did 55 in 60 in left lane of course for three months after.

guess you should have driven slower ????

at least it was a real cop not a revenue machine at the traffic light

did you learn a lesson ? like speed on the track instead ?

do the crime,, due the time, it sux but it sounds like you did it and want out of it ?

He put his lights on before he pulled into my street but was a fair way away, it was like 500m's away from my street where he would have caught me.

Challenging the photographic evidence or the calibration of the speed/laser gun is your only way out.

A second appeal will usually fail - even if you need it for work.

Waiting the 21 days before paying the fine MAY work but only if the expiation authority uses the available demerit points when they process it rather than the amount of demerit points available on the day.

That said a judge wont look favourably to that level of speeding, even if it was a first offence I doubt any appeal would be sustained.

My 2c? Get a lawyer.

-D

Save your money on lawyers if you've already appealed once....no good a second time unless you've got a very good reason for being 22kph over the limit on your P's.

Cops are within their right to enter your property by the way.

Yes i did it, I became complacent as its the home stretch, more or less paddocks both sides and yes i know speeding is against the law, i tried pretty hard not to speed this last year, it was my mistake and I'm willing to pay for it IF I HAVE TO. If there is an easier option i will by all means take it, why someone would just take it all, possibly lose there job and become unproductive beats me, i am willing to learn from my regrets.

worst thing is I don't have a skyline or a performance car of any sorts, i have a 93 Accord stock manual :D

speeding is dangerous to everyone, a nuicence and an expensive habit that should be left to the track and i will learn my lesson. I agree with the big fines as this hurts more than demerit points or loss of license. (did you know p platers get $100 extra for the fine if its a breach of conditions compared to full license)

Sorry if i sound like i was trying to get out of it all, speed is my demon, not burnouts or drag races or drifting. im just impatient on a couple of occasions.

Usually first appeal will be passed no matter what the case. You can't appeal twice in 5 years. END

Trust me... I've been stung for already having appealed once in the previous 5 years and my appeal was because i didnt have P plates displayed... FFS. 11 months to go.

lol yes you can because i want a r34 gtr at some stage in the next 10 years of my life, (like every other human duh) so ive read up on here alot.

I didn't join for this, but it is the only forum im attached to and i thought alot of the members might have been in the same boat as me with your skylines and all. jk

sau has a big base and alot of experience through its members that i thought could help and did.

I asked transport SA about it on the phone and the bloke didnt want to offer me any way out of this, understandably so i came here.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
