Oh yeah. If its your first offence its an automatic 6 months. And thats if the judge is being lenient. If u had previuos speeding convictions its 1 year and then double up next time u get caught again. i.e 2 years. My mate got done twice and is now is 3 years. Also court costs is like $2,000 inc fine. Just go in there show remorse to the judge (i.e suck up) and u should only get 6 moths hopefully if it your first offence. I was there at the court hearing.. LOL.. man so bad

the amount of cops on sat night was unbelievable

on the M5 between bexley north and king georges rd, they set up a massive RBT unit with round 10 cop cars lining the M5 over 1km.

the result, a truck stop that was transformed in a parking lot with people caught waiting to get towed.

i passed it a 1am, my girlfried passed it at 5am, they were still there.

hehehe

I dont think this is every sat from what ive seen on the m5. First ive seen in yonks and i always drive home the m5 that way. Never seen em turn a truck docking into a RBT that large. The next morning they had a double semi trailer take away all the cars that the drivers had gone over the alcohol limit.

i drove past last sat as well after a rave (transmission). Anybody know if they test u for banned substance abuse at these rbts by any chance? Not that i am admitting to useing it here. :wassup:

dude, i drove past you whilst you were pulled over on the side of the road by the cop :wassup:

i don't know if you know that area or not, but its an awesome strip of road to speed on and thats NO secret!!! :D

were the cops sitting on the median strip just past the trees? :)

not trying to justify the crime or anything, but this stretch of road is very straight, with wide dual lane carriage ways and large median strip in the middle. it is a glorious and relatively safe road to go fast on - not that i ever have :)

Hey Frankie... nah he said he got me as i went up the bridge over the M4, i have no idea where he was ...

I was a bit unsure if it was really that fast until i saw the PFC peak hold @ 155km/h.... ooops

its such a tempting road tho dead straight and bump free....

i got caught for 66 over the speed limit..

it is pretty easy to find out what will happen to u u should have just looked at rta website instead of reading most of this speculation!

anyway its six months, and if you exceed your demerit point limit, another three months if you are on your P's, and less if you are on your full license depending on how many points over you are.

i took it to court got it reduced to 250 bucks, although the legal costs made the final cost the same. got the same suspension, ie. 6 months.

i renewed my licence a month ago, drove 600ks in one weekend, and then the next (3 month) period started. so yeah 2 more months for me, join the club and dont stress too much, a lot worse can happen in life than the rta screwing you up!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
