Speeding On P's

[GTRPowa]

im pretty sure i will us up all my point because i got done again last night which is utter bullshit. it was a red light speed cam, i couldnt stop in time because it was wet, i was more than half way and i got flashed, mind you it was still amber when i went over the line. Im contesting this one for sure.

Im just the luckiest guy out huh.

Two things I'll question about this now, since they will later. Are your tyres defective or are you not driving according to the conditions?

They will argue "What if a car pulled out in front of you, are you saying you wouldn't have enough time to stop for this?"

Remember the speed limit is exactly that, the 'limit' - You can drive under the limit, especially in wet/foggy/etc conditions. (Give or take the wanker behind you)

-----------

Dunno about vic laws, but if you exceed your points too far here in NSW you get extra time off as well. Long story short I ended up with a total of 16 points. I get an extra month off for this.

3 Months for 30-45km/h over

3 Months for reaching 12 points.

1 Month for exceeding the points too far.

= 7 Months.

-----------

Not looking good, I'd just man up and take what's coming. They can make it worse if you contend. I've had a few 3 month suspensions when I was younger and they never made me think.

7 months did.

All the best.

If by lucky you mean one of the stupidest drivers on the planet definetly. How have you managed to get so many fines, yet I drove a piece of shit EA Falcon and a VP Commodore for 3 years on my P's and never got so much as pulled over? Because I dont drive like an idiot, I know the limits of my cars. Also if you cant stop at a red light your either going way too fast or your cars brakes and tyres are completely shit. I dont really know why you expect sympathy on here, to be honest the only reason your getting any is because you dont drive a Skyline and your not reinforcing what people already think about all of us on here.

im green p's so i have 6 points.

Thing is, the one last night, i was going 59-60, but when i crossed the line and the light was still amber i sped up to about 60-64 so i dont know if it was speed or red light. either way im f**ked, but this im contesting caus i have a witness.

If you truly were more than half way through the intersection then you most likely won't get a fine even if you got flashed. Two photos are taken when someone goes through a red light, the first when they cross the sensor in front of the lines you're supposed to stop at, and the second at the sensor just before the lines on the other side of the intersection. You need both these photos to be convicted I believe. As far as I know, neither sensor is active until the light is red so I do find it hard to believe the light was amber when you went through it (if you do end up getting a fine) unless you were speeding through the intersection and got done for speeding.

But come on man, you lost your licence already and this happens? If your car can't stop in time then you need to fix it so it can...sounds to me more like you trying to beat the red light in a drag race...

[xALmoN]

why do people keep insisting on speeding up when the light goes amber?

You're supposed to SLOW THE f**k DOWN. stopping at the lights won't kill you.

I don't drive like an angel, but i know what's safe.

lol this thread is funny as!

[drive_guy]

my back tires are like 30-40% tread plus it was raining hard where this happend last night. the ground was very wet, even if i slammed the brakes i would have ended up in the middle of the intersection. I am very positive i was NOT in the wrong this time. Just unlucky.

the 110 in a 60 zone im going to cop because that was me. since then ive actuary been behaving but it just doesnt go my way.

[xALmoN]

when you see amber, you'll definitely have time to slow down, that's what amber is for, how far were you when the lights turned amber?

[bluejeans]

green p's? i thought u only just got licence?

[MUZT3K]

You aren't understanding what I said. This is why suspensions are thrown on people. You have to drive according to the conditions.

You say you didn't even try to stop because you knew how bad the result would be.

^^ That's too fkn fast man.

I dont care if it's 40 in a 60 zone, if you still can't confidently stop the car you're going TOO FAST FOR THE CONDITIONS. No amount of ignorance will change this.

I learn't all this stuff the hard way man, back in a day where the punishments weren't as heavy. Learn fast.

Lol I don't even know how I can stick up for you this time man.

You just gotta learn to drive properly, and since you already got done for speeding, maybe you would have learnt yout lesson and drive more safely and yet, you sped up to try and beat a yellow light lol

Yes you are correct. 5 points for ANY p plater.

wtf?

[PIOTREK]

yer its always been 5 points, unless it changed recently

40% of tred on good tyres is still decent- it seems like the person behind the wheel is to blame.

Anyways i'm sure you can learn from this (hopefully) and just take the punishment like man

[Birds]

drive_guy STOP DRIVING! I'd be afraid to put a set of keys into an ignition barrel if I were you.

For someone with drive in their name you don't seem to know an awful lot about it!!!

[tavstar34]

Lol I don't even know how I can stick up for you this time man.

Ummm, no you are stupid mate.

Gotta say it.

Amber does not mean ACCELERATE. It means you PREPARE TO STOP. There is no excuse, least of all "it was wet". Shows you were not driving with any sense.

40km/h over, trying to run a red... all in 5 weeks of getting your license.

It's the kids like you that honestly need to have their license instantly revoked.

If you take your "witness" and contest it, all it will make you do is look like a bigger idiot having two people admit to you being at fault rather than yourself.

[bluejeans]

so within 5 weeks he says he is on green p plates - i smell something not right going on..
