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.

"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...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
