yeah yeah

that sucks , why did they pull you over were you cutting lanes and drifting in and out of traffic?. 0.02 is for a reason you havent been driving for long and if i remember back when i got my p's even within 9 months I was still inexperienced and not the most confident on the road, its not about whether you know the road rules but how different things affect your driving, such as increasing your reaction time through alcohol . I was fearful of drink driving for about 2 years and didnt drink at all , booze effects people in different ways and while i feel for you being 23 and probably able to hold your liquour your still to inexperienced to have an inhibitor like that in your system why still learning the road.

this summons to court will that go on your record if your found guilty ? is it a criminal offence? i dont know how is that going to affect you later in life thats what i would be worried for , if it is criminal ask for a spent conviction . That sucks about your insurance too will make it hard for you to get it again with anybody!

he may have had a run in with the law over this drinking issue , But a lot of you have had your licences suspended for 3 - 12 months and longer for stupid speeds 200+ down city streets or highways

tell me what is more dangerous?

Alot of us do 200 down city streets? Since when?

[G0DF4Th3R]

[yurigtr]

[zanda]

Personally, I find that I need to dump the 'chute about 100 metres before Milligan Street, otherwise I overshoot the car park entrance 'coz the brakes just won't hold her at these speeds!!!!!!!!

WTF? :bs!: Speak for yourself, pal. I have had my Skyline for nearly 18 months and not got a ticket for anything (I am sure there is time though!). Mind you, I am a boring old git who never gets it on boost. Perhaps that's why the back tires are looking a bit sad ........... :Oops:

Cheers.

i had the R33 for 2 years only lost 1 point for 68 in 60 zone

[bossplaya]

yo dawg, u are a fu|

[R34]

Crikey !! Is this Assh#le week?

Give the guy a break and save the holier than thou attitude for those who want to hear it guys.

Technically he broke the law yes but if he hadn't been on his "P's" all would have been fine.

It's not like he plays for the eagles and tried to outrun the cops.

[bossplaya]

he cant come on here thinkin we're all going to agree with him. imagine if u knew somebody who lost their life to a drink driver, u'd be pretty piped up about it.

outrun cops, hmm looks like its the thing to do these days. hmm wheres that killer gtr thread gone.

Mark33 :bs!: i saw some sau hills cruise pics of speedos on 180 etc. anyway i think controlled 180km/h sober driving on quiet roads is safer than drink driving. i saw a drink driver lose control on the freeway going speed limit on the weekend, couldnt keep the car straight and binned it into a barrier.

[33Spec2]

:headspin: i think SAU WA is going a bit loopy ive neva seen so much crap and argueing posted b4! wateva happened 2 the big happy family?

[jmp]

33Spec2,

Too many new, inconsiderate people imho.

Oh well.

[JXL]

Well when i used to go on the rollerboyz cruises it was a pretty common issue of people getting caught after doing 160kmh in some 60, 70 or 80 zone. my worst is 11kmh over so control the lead foot pretty well.

But the drink thing is a touchy issue cause i've driven after only a couple drinks for the night like the ad says and i've doused it with alot of water and food so i'd be pissed if i followed the advice and then still got done for DD.

I'm told 0.05 you can't even notice it.

[uneekwahn]

jmp: :werd:

[R33_Cam]

if i ever have to drive when me and mates go out, its 2 drinks max for me, thats what this guy would have had, but i know some ppl that after 2 drinks they are like i am after 10, so it effects ppl different ways, but thats the law, you have to abide by it, i do feel for him a bit cause as R34 said, if it were one of us NOT on P Plates, nothing would of happened......

BUT the laws the law

my 2c

[noise]

just to let everyone know... after speaking to my insurance again this DUI thing will not effect my insurance at all for atleast 12 months. I am still paying 1600ish for 12 months full comp at age 23 with about 9 months driving experience on my P's.

[25GTT]

Good to hear mate that the insurance hasn't been affected. Please consider it as a warning as to how bad it could of been, obviously being a minute amount on your P's and all but i think from reading over your thread ya get the general consensus.

Happy and Safe driving and you will find as time goes on the $1600 will come down... well more than likely ....

[JXL]

Well i just went looking around for another quote and i went to Just Car damn $1086 full comp for me, unbelieveable, Famous Cars is charging $2200. Crapper of a thing is i've already paid half of it.

Well you know i'll be switching.

[dan_the_man]

whats the excess from just car though?

[MirKz]

Just car is very expensive though....

i got a quote for a pretty modified Gts turbo and and they didnt want much... i think it was 1600...

and im 19 .. just off my P's 30 % ncb.

no previous driving infrigements etc

and yeah for excess it was like 300 bucks or something. then on TOP of that... if i had mags... another 400.... and if i had bodykit.. another 300 ... so on and so fourth...

all up... if i had a prang... i would have to pay out roughly 2200 BEFORE they would pay anything... thats what i worked it out to be anyways.
