[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

some pretty interesting details there.. good read. ta aw11:D

[GOTRICE]

More than 40ks over $350 and 6 points... so does that mean if your doing more than 40 you might as well do 100 over? ahahahah

:lol:

[Guest GR33DyMANGO]

yer thats a good point.. so if u go through a school zone at 81kms per/hr u might as well do 200kms per/hr.. hahaaa.....

lotsa angry mummys then

i once lost 6 for doing 49 over the limit on a quite country road. i was pretty paranoid about it being upgraded to dangerous driving so i called around. from what i gathered it all depended on the time/congestion of the road/ number of passengers/ any complaints that had been made about me in the past and how long it'd been since the cop last got laid ...

lucky for me boostzors mother was recently in town :lol:

it gets better. i don't think there is a set penalty for dangerous driving?? know of one guy who lost it for one year after being clocked at ludicrous speed in a suburban area!

40-60kmh over the speed limit is $350/6pts no questions asked. 60+kmh over and you get a friendly visit from the neighbourhood bacon to personally confirm that you were the nutjob doing those speeds. Even then, its still $350/6pts unless they find grounds for a dangerous driving charge (depending on time/congestion of the road/ number of passengers/ and how long it'd been since the cop last got laid), which is fine + court apperance (minimum 3 months license loss if guilty).

Don't ask how I know this

BTW, I'm currently trialing a zero tolerance policy regarding speed cameras. That is, I see a camera, I turn around and beat the crap out of it. I'll let you know how it goes

hey thats not fair ... i got charged $450 for going 63km/hr over the limit, late last year [speed camera]

and my friend has to go to court coz' he got caught on a radar gun for going 46km/hr over the limit ?

i recon' its up to the cop, if he is in a good mood or not, or if you got a good record before hand

and whether or not you pass the attitude test..remember always be:D never:shake:

[deesh]

3 points for an orange light, thats a bit harsh, especially when you couple it with a downshift and some boost...

id better stop doing that.

[Guest aw11]

sucks hey! and here i was thinking they go orange just to challenge you
