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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
