Lol, we've all done that shit at some point of time in our lives, pity you got caught though. At least you've learnt your lesson, and expensive one too, i'd reckon.

OP's new avatar is wheel boobs!!! lol jokes

But to answer your question, I'd take the 3 months and save the petrol and maintenance money, then after 3 months, dump it back into the car on parts and upgrades :D

Ive never made a report before on SAU, but in this instance I know I did the right thing.

OP - Look outside your square, one day you'll realize how immature you're being in regards to the avatar/profile picture.

ouch, most i have been done for is 35 over, im sure i was lased at over that but never got stuck for the full whack. The cop must have missed his donuts that day, still pretty crazy speed to do on the street, im assuming it was a freeway at least?

40 over ? Don't stop.

dont stop? unless your on a Hayabusa or some crazy bike they will chase you to the ends of the earth on a freeway, its only through a couple of red lights and school zones at 40 that they will call it off, not worth the risk IMHO.

plus outside of NFS hot pursuit and GTA i just cant bring myself not to obey the law. .well at least once I have their attention..

was a 4 laned road. not wet. no cars. industrial estate (no housing where little kids can run out.. with a stupid 70 speed limit. i know it was still stupid but i new my surroundings before risking other peoples lives. but anyway we live and learn

tangles get the f over it . that was likeeee soooooooo 2 pages ago like oh maaaa gawd like full draining it

they are supposed to give chase to 160 then stop, often they don't but if anything goes wrong they are in big poo poo.

Most skylines I've driven will do 160 in 3rd, easy.

Just as long as its not somewhere ludicrous IE in a school zone etc you should only ever been worrying about that sort of speed on the motorway/industrial park/salt flat anyway, you know, time and place and all ?

I mean really, if your speeding anything over sort of 10 up in a built up area where you cannot possibly predict what is coming from where, you deserve to get hung anyway.

In saying this, drive to the conditions, how most speed limits are selected is a very arbitrary process anyway so I guess you could say that if that's as much thought as the people in charge put into the speed limits of various areas then they can't be surprised when people give the limits that same level of thought on their way to work every day.

People are still going to speed anyway, we'll probably have a larger amount of road deaths this year then last, judging by the figures, which I guess shows the effectiveness of the various speed enforcement programs around the country

Moral of the story, you can generally feel what is a safe and acceptable limit for the road your driving on, it won't be the same for all drivers and all cars, but I guess that's what situational awareness is for, drive to conditions and that includes the drivers around you.

i wouldn't say they do it easy. they might do it, but they would be bashing on the limiter. a commodore or falcon would be close to doing it in 3rd as well. in fact i think the missus SSS would be close to doing it in 3rd as well as the gear ratios in it are pretty close to that of a skyline.

Was just about to post this also!

I had the same thing happen to me years and years ago, had the option of 1 pt or 3 month suspension, took the 1 pt suspension and drove sedately for a year, by the time the year was over I had completely forgotten about the 1 pt and didn't realise until a couple months after I had my full 12 pts back. As mentioned if you choose the 1 pt option, you are not classified as having a license suspension (which sticks with you for 5 years btw before insurers no longer ask), it's already hard enough to get insurance having a modified import, try doing it with a license suspension on top of that...

I was going to suggest that you take the 1 pt option for a year for the same reason above (ie insurance premiums go sky high if you've lost your licence), until you posted up that you've lost it before!

Your past is following you I'm afraid.

I've only ever driven fairly quick ones, so my viewpoint is no doubt skewed.

wish the skylines had a closer ration box tbh.

Didn't read anything but posting anyway. 1 point can be lost for almost any reason. If you buy an R34 GTR, chances are you may get pulled over and probably defected. 1 point gone.

im pretty sure in Melbourne you don't get demerit points for defects

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
