6 demerits, $350 fine

[letemlaf]

hey guys!

Last night i was cruising with a few mates, one of them in an S14 was clocked down the graham farmer freeway doing 146kph, so he got slapped with 6 demerit points and a $350 fine and stickered for every mod he had.

I saw the cop there and tried to grab my phone to warn him but (damn connection time) i was too late and the lights went on. i guess this is why we need UHF's!

So anyway i guess he got off pretty lighty because he was trying to be polite to the cop. He managed to avoid being locked up, taken to court, $1500 fine and loss of liscence.

I guess we just gotta be more careful, especially around those bridges!

anybody know how much those radar jammers (front and rear) are and if they actually work?

Thanks!!

Maybe he shouldn't be speeding like that on a public road??

[druzilla32]

i suppose he deserved it if he was in the wrong.

came off quite well tho.

I need a uhf too, just never think of buying one until its too late..

Don't call them police lights, they're actually called 'Sex Lights'

Reason: Because when they come on Your ****ed!

146? man he's very lucky.....

As to the radar jammers they are illegal to have in your car, like radar detectors?

I agree with Bass Junky.. keep it on a track..

[letemlaf]

yeah not the smartest thing,

but he thought 2 cars on the road + cop, freeway, (although 80 zone not 100)

not the most dangerous of situations

you're lucky.. most states that is instant loss of license for around 3-6 months and at least double that in fines.

Perth is probably the only state where you could get away with it I think

[RadiuM]

Whats so light about 6 points, $350 fine.. thats the normal fine for that speed.

Although I thought anything over 45 was instant loss of licence. Going to have to look that one up I think.

Anything's better then the new laws they're considering for Vic - 15km/h or over is instant loss of license.

[Guilty]

WTF? you can't be serious!! That reminds me, I still have to send my letter into Mr Bracks, letting him know one of the reasons i left VIC was the revenue raising scum like him destroying the state. Haven't looked back.... There are better places to live with the attitude that every km over is a killer. It simply isn't.

[JiVE]

I vote predator to be the next Premier of Vic.

[letemlaf]

Did anyone hear about some country or state which removed speed cameras for a 12 month trial?

they found there was no difference from the average of deaths while using or not using them.

In New Zealand everyone gets flashed same as here if you speed so many km over the limit, but they take the top 15% and fine only those guys and that seems to work well, its fair, and its not revenue raising!

maybe our government could learn something there
