Today I got a speeding fine in the mailbox. It's $176 for exceeding the speed limit by less than 10km/h. Last month, I also got pinged for the same offence but that fine was $153. So has the cost gone up? I tried looking in vic.gov.au but couldn't find anything on current infringement cost.

Also, I felt that the 2nd fine was issued by mistake as I'm quite certain I wasn't doing the alleged speed stated in the fine. I plan to apply for a review. Has anyone done this before and got away with the fine?

I got $345 for walking across some train tracks just as the signal was about to go down.....

Would get off more lightly if I was drunk and punched someone in the face I think

You would've told him to put it in his mouth

I still reckon the most ridiculous fine is the undisplayed P plates fine, being equivalent in punishment to running a red light lol.

When I was on my P's I got done for this as the p plate was slightly curled over (it was the ones without the suction cup) wasn't even aware and the copper was an absolute flog. Also wanted to give me a fine for not wearing a seat belt, until I repeatedly explained I was had literally gotten into my car (no off street parking).

Some of the costs of fines in Victoria is farcical.

2011 - 2012 (1/7/11 - 30/6/12) = $122,14

2012 - 2013 (1/7/12 - 30/6/13) = $140.84

"In a car less than 10km/h over limit. $153 as of 1 July 2011"

Good to see that the vic government website's are kept up to date.

So if this is the case, how many Penalty units is $153 and how many Penalty Units is $176?

Either I've just tangled myself in a web of confusion, or I'm lost as to what a Penalty Unit is worth...

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
