this chick on her L's is a complete dumb$hit...personally im on my L's and mine has just ober 200rwkw, after seeing a friend of mine wrap himself around a telegraph pole going 70 in a 50 zone in his '88 crx, the last thing i wanna do is start drivin like a dikhead in my car, i think some ppl arent aware of how much trouble power can get u into, but others mature quicker and know the consequences either fines or injury..i agree harder penalties are required for stupid shit like that, its the only way the learner will LEARN...

as for the media there all f*^king stupid and its true that they only present stuff of interest regardless of truth...

cheers...ben.

I agree with 2BNVS, tougher penalties are a good idea but it all depends on the individual. Some people will never learn until they crash and injure themselves or someone else. I think everyone here has more sense than to do 205km/h on a public road, but obviously that girl didn't. Just be happy she didnt kill someone else with her own stupidity.

omg r u serious?

1000 + 1 yr suspension WTF?

im on my greenz wit no driving history and got done a few months ago for doing 130 in a 70 zone. I was lucky enough that the cop wrote 45kms over and i still ended up getting a 6months suspension + $1600 fine + 6points.!!

wtF? she basically doubled the speed limit without a license and she got off then me...

and who says the law is fair for everyone..pftt...that chick should get her license stripped for life, doing something so stupid witout any experience or a license. I hope she learns her lesson during the suspension coz im learning it the hard way as well.

in my opinion you shouldnt be driving for the next 2 years... i wouldnt be complaining with how you got treated

okay well its is apparent that we cannot rely on the media for any real and correct info as every channel believes it is a different car. The only thing is certain is that it was beyond stupid, penalty was ridiculosly beyond stupid and thank god no one was hurt.

i guess we can only hope that justice will be served when this girls is allowed behind a wheel again that she fails every attempt at going for her p's, and, that people are aware thta she likes to take cars off on her own so they should watch their keys when around her.

Taken from the smh website

A Melbourne teenage learner driver, banned from driving after being clocked at more than 200 km/h, has been caught behind the wheel again.

The 18-year-old woman from suburban Laverton was driving with a 16-year-old female friend on July 2 when a police radar clocked her at 205 kph in a 100 kph zone on the Western Ring Road Road at Sunshine, in Melbourne's west.

She was fined $430 and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

But just hours after Victoria Police assistant commissioner (traffic) Bob Hastings on Monday slammed her behaviour as irresponsible, the speedster was again nabbed by police.

She was allegedly driving a vehicle in suburban Newport without L-plates and without a fully-licensed driver.

Police today confirmed the teenager would be charged on summons with two traffic offences and would have to appear before a magistrate after being intercepted by police about 11.30pm (AEST) on Monday.

Mr Hastings said the woman initially was booked under a recent police speeding blitz on the ring road.

"If you're an L-plate driver, you've got to get experience, but you get the experience in the proper way," he said.

" ... you can't justify that speed, particularly when you're an L-plater driver learning and getting experience on the road."

The news came as the teenager's sister today claimed police had ignored her earlier warnings about the teen.

"I'm really glad they have caught her doing this, but it's a little but too late," the 23-year-old woman, who did not want to be named, told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.

"She should not be driving, and I just feel that if the police had contacted her earlier the situation would not have happened."

The woman said she had called police anonymously to report that her sister had been driving without a fully licensed driver since she bought herself a car in April.

"I didn't want to dob her in, but I just did it purely for the safety matter and to save the family any grief," the woman said.

A friend of the teenager, who gave his name only as Matthew, said he had tried to tell her she should not be on the road.

"She shouldn't even be on the road, I told her that," he told radio 3AW.

He said the teenager had also recently crashed another car.

"She wiped it (the car) off, right off... she got her friend to tow the car away."

He said she did not have a licensed driver with her at the time of the crash and the police were unaware of the incident.

The teenager later told 3AW producer Justin Smith she knew she had done wrong.

"She won't talk on air. She's just hoping everything will blow over," Mr Smith said.

"She said she's had a lot of family worries over this.

"She said she knows she's done the wrong thing, but she just wants to let it blow over."

It doesnt matter what restrictions you place on young drivers, whether it be power or curfew or whatever. There will still be some of us that do stupid things and get ourselves hurt. What young drivers need is proper driver education and training. Its an attitude and overconfidence thing, and its never the cars' fault either.

I am an L plater and i drive a turbo'd car. So what? Does that automatically mean im going to go out and drive my car at unsuitable speeds? Once again, it seems everyone has lunged at the stereotypical throat of young drivers...

Once again, it seems everyone has lunged at the stereotypical throat of young drivers...

Those stereotypes exist for a reason.

You forget that we all were once L-platers with something to prove as well, and in HINDSIGHT (something you are not yet blessed with), a power restriction for L-platers and P-platers is an excellent idea.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
