Ever Fought A Speeding Fine In Victoria? Here's My Day In Court:


Recommended Posts

Alleged refers to benefit of the doubt factor having being applied to the detected speed, to cover variance in speedometers and calibration of measuring equipment. But yes the actual wording "alleged" is because until someone pays the fine, you're considered innocent. Paying the fine is an admission of guilt.

Need to vent.

Keep seeing the ad campaign everywhere "This is why you are photographed when you speed" And it's making me so f*****g angry.

They're either just hypocritical beaurocrats or retarded do gooders. I'm not sure which.

If the only reason we're fined is safety; Police would make their prescense known; Cameras would be painted Hi Vis; and wouldn't be hidden in every dastardly place they can think of. You would be fined on the spot; and not mailed a fine three weeks later as that doesn't deter anyone.

The reason it gets to me so much is because I live here and the fairness of our state is slipping away. It seems to have happened in the last decade.

The majority of people know some of these things it are not right; and yet; it won't be changed. What can you do except vent? And then you get the public transport types talking down to you?

I hate the latest TV campaign trying to tell us how much speed cameras save lives.

So we're now paying to be taught that the things we pay for, to take further money from us, aren't there just to take money from us.

The verdict isn't too bad, I'd call that a win for you.

The judge would normally just throw it out under some rediculous reasoning that police are always correct and your guilty....

    • I'll get one of these also just for giggles
    • I bought 6 new spark plugs to compare readings. They will be here tomorrow and ill see if meter is far off if it all. I know one is at least reading 0 so its best replace all anyway if one is bad, from experience. I still have to test the harness just to be sure its not a double issue and I waste my time haha-the old plugs are iridium I always thought those lasted more than 50,000 km.
    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
