i believe there was a change in the act where you can be issued with a fine or summons up to 14 days after an incident some one care to clarify on this?

Depends on the state and the circumstances.

In NSW a summons/Future service can may be issued up to 6 months after the offence.

I'm working for a firm of solicitors now. Milne Berry Berger and Freedman. We've done our fair share of traffic law but we do lots of other stuff too.

I'd also recommend Shaun Titmarsh of Baker Ryrie Rickards Titmarsh as a traffic lawyer. I've sent a few friends to him over the years.

Hi Bob,

On the hunt for a lawyer now as well.

Was allegedly doing 30 over. $855 fine and 5 points. I asked the officer if my licence would be suspended he said no. Soi copped it and paid.

To my surprised i received a letter from rms with. . Yep. A notice of suspension *sigh* apparently it's a new thing now where they automatically suspend you. Gay.

Give Mark Stenberg a call; he has represented me several times with excellent results. He's a genuinely good guy who understands traffic matters, and is an avid Car and Motorbike enthusiast.

My suspicion is however; you may have nowhere to go, as paying the fine is effectively the equivalent of an admission of guilt.

Not long ago I wrote a report for a guy who was doing over 100 in a 60 zone at 5.30am. He sought advice from a solicitor who asked for a couple of character references and I was to furnish one of them.

Not long into quizzing my mate about circumstances I realised that I could build a case report around him having hypoglycaemia at that time in the morning whilst he'd skipped brekkie and his mother suffered diabetes. My mate usually doesn't speed according to himself; which I believe. In fact on Fb he abhors excessive speed on public roads.

Four hours of work into a report that's pretty much waterproof, his solicitor didn't want to use the report. He only wanted a character reference.

Privately I took the report (with name removed) to 2x traffic lawyers and both of them said my mate would have got off on a "Section 10" or a "Gilsons" with a reasonable judge.

Oh well - I wish him all the best anyway.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
