Recommended Posts

Look i was driving on princess hwy last nite,i wasnt speeding or wat so ever.... But the bloody cops pulled me overed & gave me a ticket.. i ask for the radar gun he said he wasnt using it at the time!

He said to me when i was going about 94km and i cant catch up to u that means your speeding &probley doing 100k,which i wasnt speeding at alll !!! can they do this? with no proof that i was speeding, jst his bloody word saying that i was.

If i was to take this to court which i will dw, does anyone kno wats the chance that i won't be winning the case. Please help because im currently sitting on 0 trying to not speed or do anything stupid &when i did that they still gave me a ticket for a reason that i didnt do at all with no proof bloody cops i tell you what..

If anyone can reply to this that would be good of you cheers!

they need to have followed you for around 10 seconds at that speed matching your speed for it to hold up usually (depends on the judge), but you'll find with flakey readings like that you'll be offered a lower fine and demerit by the prosecutor so that it never has to go to court. get a solicitor on it. As long as you never made an admission of fault that is.

You are correct it is not legal, what did he put down as the speed you were doing on the ticket?

94kms .. Thats what he told me on his bloody speedo says. So do you rkon its not legal & that i can win this case?? yeah. I really wana take this case on till i will because im not goner let the cops book me for no reason and get away with it for something that i really didnt bloody do.

Granted, dodgy as. I would definitely take this one to court. The officers number will be on the Ticket.

Normally they need to track your speed for at least 200m. The officer will have recorded the conversation too to use as evidence in court as well so your remarks will be on file. So make them earn their money.

Always be polite tho when dealing with the popo-helps alot if you need to question something with a judge especially if he/she sees you doing the right thing-big plus in your favour-let us know how you get on matey

Well you don't actually wanna appear in court, cos you're gonna look like some teenage kid with a high performance car trying to weasel his way out of a speeding fine. What you want is an out of court settlement. Talk to a solicitor. They are the only ones qualified to advise you and the one ones whose advise you should take seriously. None of the opinions stated in this thread count.

True-I am not a Lawyer, but my brother is a cop & his advice is get a solicitor & fight it

turbo or not it's still a skyline mate. Things like this you just gotta get used to. On the other side I'm agreed with the others, get a lawyer to sort the cops out. They might realize their fcuk up and drop or reduce the penalty

I issue fines like this all the time. We measure your speed by taking up position behind maintaining even distance and check the speed on the digital display. It's a very legitimate way of checking speed.

I have had a number of these taken to court and generally accused pleads up at lower speed, but generally mine are people doing 25km/h+ over and contest to keep license.

It's becoming more common that people contest tickets when they have 0 demerit points left which I think is your case. The magistrate's are fully aware of this and generally don't show any leniency as you continue to commit offences whilst on warnings from vic roads. It shows them that you can't control yourself behind the wheel and will think you're a danger.

I would get legal advice but if you're in the above situation you will get more at court than the just the fine. I have had a few full contests with these and I have WON every one.

Ill give you one peice of advice that you should follow if your trying hard to not lose any points, dont go to places such as princess hwy on a friday night when you know it is packed with police looking to get as many people as they can in my opinion going there and expecting to leave with nothing even if you dont do anything is stupid. Fair or not fair you cant do shit thats how it is these days so easy solution stay away.

cop laws have changed, they can follow u for xx distance and do some maths bullshit to work out how many kilometres they covered and then garner ur speed, yes it sounds dodgy for a pig to be doing it but what can u do.

i would defianetly take ur one to court my cousin just had a similar situation and he got away with it.

a few years ago i was doing some stupid shit in my old v8 lexus cop pulled me over comes to window and looks at me like his gonna kill. leans in the window and says "son we were doing 180 and u were still pulling away" its funny because it had the factory speed limiter in it and couldnt get that quick even if i wanted it to ... btw this was on chapel street on a saturday night (between toorak and richmond)

after 2 hours of arguing and one of my boys calling my dad down i went home with no ticket .... but man did i cop it hard from the old man lol

yeah if your on your last points I doubt a judge would let you off..

question - you can tell they are speeding, most cars speedo's are not exactly accurate.. how does this work out when you are in cases when its say on the line of loss of licence and possibly scraping through? is it benifit of the doubt or do the police get the upperhand?

my mate was pulled over in Hawthorn last week while I was a passenger. He overtook some cars n got pulled over, which I keep telling him was fair enough cos he planted it and overtook from the left. Cop just did a breatho n said that he didn't have the radar on him but to just slow down down a bi n let him off.

My mate being an arrogant prick had a bitch to me bout being pulled over n warned and I can't help but wanna smack him across the back of the head for complaining about being let off for about 3 offences that i pointed out to him. Cop was a fkn nice friendly fellow as well, the time that deserve respect and curtiousy in return

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
