Planing to appeal the suspension
for those that are in similar position or want to know about what to do just got the sake of knowing here is the link for the process: http://www.lawassist.lawaccess.nsw.gov.au/lawassist/lawassist_fines/lawassist_licence_fine/lawassist_appealingsuspension_fine.html#2

Have just seen this.

I had the exact same issue a couple of years ago. Same place, exact same speed.

I paid the fine as advised by solicitor and then went to court to appeal the suspension. I was successful although I had a perfect driving record up to that point.

Advice is to get help from a solicitor familiar with traffic issues.

I have paid the $800 fine and copped the 5 demerit points. But on top of that since it was 30km over I will have my license suspended for 3 months.

Should I challenge this in court or just cop it? By that I mean challenge the suspension not the fine.

Some extra history : I cannot request section 10 as I have 2 previous speeding tickets one 3 years ago the other 2 years ago both very small tickets I think one was 5km and one was 7 km over

As stated elsewhere. S10 is not applicable. You have already paid the fine. Appeals are a different animal and are generally not given for speeds. Only P platers have a right of appeal in relation to demerit points. Everyone else has a tough fight on their hands.

You are quite right that police aren't supposed to use radar on a downhill slope, but you would be surprised how often they do it anyway.

Not true. That used to be the case several years ago. Not any more. Even when it was a guideline there were clear instructions that it could be done in a variety of circumstances.

If you have paid the fine (effectively admitting fault), you may have eliminated any avenue of appeal regarding your license suspension.

That pretty much sums it up. Once you pay it and take the infringement it's almost impossible to contest.

there are 2 things that can be appealed / contested 1 the infringement itself and 2 the license suspension i accepted the infringement as at fault but plan to appeal the suspension.

You can appeal to the Local Court against a suspension if you are suspended in one of these ways:

  • you are a learner or provisional license holder and you get too many demerit points.
  • for speeding in excess of 30 km/hr over the speed limit
  • for speeding in excess of 45 km/hr over the speed limit
  • on the spot by a police officer.

    so fingers crossed the judge will see that the punishment does not fit the crime as i was not just speeding in a residential road at high range speeds but rather didn't slow down fast enough coming of from the freeway where that speed is normal . more so when the off ramp is long, has no residential or pedestrian access and i need the license for work

    Lucky day is the 13th in a week from now so i guess il see what happens
    il have character references as well as a letter from employer stating the need for my license for work

i accepted the mistake and payd the fine and took the demerit points

even tho i think its unfair i have accepted my mistake and the repercussions
im only asking for leniency on the suspension as i need the license for work and considering i wassant doing 100 on a 60km residential road but rather coming off the motorway where the speed is 100 im hoping the judge will understand i wassant honing or acting like a retard but just made the mistake of not slowing down prior to the speed change

You can apply for a work licence, and u will be fine. But if u get caught why your on that 1 point workers licence for anything that u could lose demerits on your in worse off trouble! Mate ride the good old pushy nothing wrong looking like a dickhead why every body drives past staring.u could get fit mate

Not everyone can ride a pushy to work matey, my daily round trip is 150km; some of us do even more.

If I lost my license; I would effectively lose my job.

I cannot get to work on time using public transport; even on the earliest train, I'd still be 40 mins late.

No point driving like a wanker all the time, if we are such enthusiasts wouldn't that mean we don't wanna flog our cars? in case they break loving a car is not thrashing a car it is waxing the paint and polishing the rims:)

Not sure where you live but in Sydney a pushy will get you to work faster than a car, 90% of the time. Car's don't drive past cyclists staring, they get passed while staring.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
