Speeding Fine Insurance

Attention all lead-foot drivers Australia-wide! A budding young businessman in Melbourne claims he can save you money on speeding fines.

Ryan Law has a new business venture he says will save the lead-footed drivers of Australia a fortune. Join his club for just $69 and Ryan will go halves in any speeding or parking ticket you receive in the space of a year.

"It's as simple as one, two, three ... get a speeding ticket and save hundreds of dollars, it's as easy as that," Ryan said.  

"Open to everyone including interstate, because the process is very simple. Just one phone call, just send me the fine and if the rego matches up to our database, then we send you a cheque for 50 percent of that amount."

Apart from being Ryan's personal protest against what he calls nit-picking fines, the 22-year-old is out to make a buck with Finesecure – a kind of dumb driving insurance.

But when you consider the millions of dollars collected by speed cameras alone each year, this potentially makes him the most generous insurer in Australia.

"I think the current fine rate is not acceptable. It's a little bit too high for the average Australian," Ryan said.

"That is the main reason for the scheme and I'm hoping the fines will drop in price and there's no reason for this scheme any more."

Pie in the sky, maybe, but motorists are queuing up for a piece of the action.

Not everyone's so taken with Ryan's plan ... ambulance paramedic Peter Swan picks up the pieces after speed-related car accidents. He says there are harsh penalties on speeding for a reason.

"We know speed kills. Why would someone come up with a scheme that may cause increased deaths and more misery on our roads?" Peter said.

"There could be an increase in road trauma, there is the potential it will lead to deaths, unnecessary deaths."

Ryan disagrees with the suggestion it will increase speeding.

"I wouldn't think so. They have police on the road for a reason - to stop speeding motorists," Ryan said.

Ryan's insurance is effectively insured itself by the demerit points system ... he can pay half your fine, but you still lose the points.

"Look at it this way, people have a certain amount of demerit points and the points are there for a reason," Ryan said. "If you speed too much, you should get fined and you lose your points."

Queensland businessman Paul Truebody caused outrage last year when he tried a similar thing. Even though his scheme was five-times more expensive than Ryan's, his business didn't last long.

It seems Ryan's facing an uphill battle. Even people like Ken Ogden from Victoria's RACV - who's been critical of the way governments' use speed cameras - isn't backing the new scheme.

"I think the very fact that somebody is able to market a product like this indicates that speed enforcement in this state has reached a pretty sorry state," Ken said.

"The best insurance policy is to not actually speed in the first place so you don't accumulate the infringement."

Sound advice, but Ryan's no fool. He's pressing ahead with Finesecure, which is available to all drivers, regardless of age or driving record.

Only time will tell whether he, too, will fall by the wayside or become a white-knight to white-knuckled drivers across the country.

"It's true that some people will naturally flaunt this, but if the general public embraces this idea and the scheme works everyone pays less for fines," Ryan said.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
