Ok, I got caught speeding on Anzac Highway. Went through a camera at around 130kmph. No need to lay into me saying how stupid it was or anything because i've obviously realisd that now...

I was just wondering if anyone has heard any stories of what has happened to any other people in this situation. I havnt heard anything about it yet.

I think the Justice System depends on the amount of money you have.

John Law's ( the radio announcer ) got off a speeding ticket when driving his R-Royce down a highway at high speed cos his lawyer argued that he was doing it in a safe car at a safe time. ( I guess a conservative judge would find a RR a "safer" car than a GTR Skyline which would probably have better suspension and brake package, could be wrong never driven a RR ) I guess you don't buy a RR to hoon, but I guess Skyline drivers are Stereotyped as being hoons.

I think his lawyer showed a habit of good driving by Mr Laws before this event. I don’t know what your record is like but if your record shows a history of such actions they will use this against you.

What time of Day / Night was this?

As for what is going to happen, i have no idea....

A guy up this way got caught doin 190 in a 50 zone

I think he got instant loss of licence and 3 years to think about it oh and a fine too, BUT he got caught by the cops.

Im guessing you got done by a speed camera. I think if u are 30 or 40 over the limit you get a court appearance, but the summons will probably take ages to get to ya, 2 years sometimes!!

Goodluck anyway dude

First thing, there is still a reasonably high percentage of speed camera pics that don't turn out (last I heard up to 33%), so unless things have changed recently, you may be lucky. Quite a few years ago, I got done on 2 separate occasions (once was at night and I saw the flash), and I never got a fine for either one!

Secondly, assuming you do get a summons, when you go to court, beg and plead that you NEED your licence to get to work, and you may get a restricted 'P' plate licence for a year or 2 .... other than that, pull down your pants, grab your ankles and get ready for SAPOL/the courts to have some fun.

I hope for your sake, the photo is a dud :D

If you get in trouble the outlook does not look good.

Let me draw your attention to yesterdays advertiser....

http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/commo...55E2682,00.html

A magistrate told a speeding driver "everyone does it" and that fines were "about revenue".

He was strongly criticised for his words but this is where you come in....

The Magistrate was sentencing a driver caught doing 140km/hr in a 80km/hr zone.

Although the Judge said these things he still "received the minimum six-month licence disqualification and a $300 fine."

The driver said that the "excessive" sentence jeopardised his career as a mechanic." But the sentence still stood.

If you get a Summons the outlook doesn't look good.

Once i was out with a mate and he was tailgating a undercover cop back in 1998. He was pulled over, told he would receive a summons, 6 years later we are still waiting!

LOL in all my life of driving (not long btw :P ) ... i've been caught 2 times ... once doing 80 on anzac highway ... but i was overtaking cause there was going to be cars on the left ... but i sped up too fast and the last car parked on the left was a speeding camera ;) ... i saw the flash ... shit that just capped off a shitty day ... anyways i expected the fine and got it ... then the next one was probably just over 70 in a 60 zone ... i was just driving behind the car in front of me so i wasn't really paying attention to the speedo cause it was raining and i was concentrating on the road... saw 2 flashes ... one for the car in front and then one for me ... funny thing was i looked at the speedo just before it flashed and something in my head said ... ur farked ... anyways that one i didn't get which i think is because it was raining that night ... how are u supposed to get a picture when its raining??

also i've been told by someone who knows someone who processes the fines says ... sometimes they just get so many that their system can't handle it and they just wipe the table clean ... ie just throw away a whole bunch ....

point is ... u could get lucky ... :(

All is i can say my friend is that you wernt driving and you dont know who was. Stick to your story and they can fin you and i think with the new law is it 1 demerit point off but they cant make it stick for loss of licence. If you dont stick to your story u are ****ed. I know someone(no bull shit i know him none of this i heard it shit) got chased by the cops lost them locked the car ran off got home. Rang up and said his cars stolen. Rang up next day said he found it. cops rolled to his house and they told him they know its all bull shit and his reply was "you know what prove it" and that was the end of it no fine no nothing. Most "good" ppl wont bull shit for long enough and eventually give in. Timmy knows guy im talking about.

i got bused for doing 131 in a 60 (camera), a couple of years ago. the cops came to the door, the car was under my dads name so he said we lend the car to alot of friends and it could be anyone. so they gave us a $305 fine and thats it!!

i doubt they would do that anymore

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      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.
