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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
