heyall.

I got done speeding (128kmh) in NSW by a pursuit car with radar. I didnt see the readout and the conversation was recorded.

The officer also defected my car for 3 days in which I had to repair the defect and have it approved by the RTA.

My speedo was removed for repair at the time and I was driving the car to a mechanic to have the speedo re-installed. I had it repaired, installed and approved with full documentation.

About 6 weeks later I was done for speeding in Vic doing 123kmh when overtaking some moron who decided to speed up in the process ( I couldnt back off as there was an oncoming vehicle and I HAD to overtake to survive!!)

I have never been done previously for any driving offences. I have held my license for approximately 8 years.

I would like to know if it is worth me pursuing these in court and if so, what would be the best way to do this for the best possible outcome.

Thanx in advance.

The first one where you were driving around with no speedo is your problem coz you should have been driving slower than other cars since you didnt know what speed you were doing.

The second one depending on the circumstances and road / speed limit you were on you may have a chance in court. This one needs more information

I don't think this story will get you far in court...unfortunately.

I've always wondered if "self defence" is a reasonable cause for speeding?

Although if you can't prove it you're probably ****ed. If they can produce the picture where you are along side the other car though, that might work. You could prove that if the other car is keeping pace then he is speeding too.

where did he say he drove without a speedo you moron?

dude, just bend over and take it. You are in the wrong on both occasions, if the other guy sped up, you should have slowed and pulled back in behind him.

No court will take that excuse

I couldnt have pulled behind the car as there was no room - I had to accelerate to get past.

But princess highway is a 80km/h zone.

Doesnt seem that you have any proof about having to accelerate to avoid a collision?

princes hwy has many zones - I was in a 100kmh zone at the time.

I dont have any proof of overtaking to avoid a collision??? How can you prove such a thing??

Sorry to hear bout it - but prepare to get reemed. Dont bother going to court because you will only get reemed harder and be up for more costs. First case with the speedo that will be your fault 100% so you cant challenge it. The second one you cant prove anything and dont think the cop wont make up a story about it if he knows its going to court - what cop wants to be proven wrong? The police prosecutor is a total fagget as well.

In the overtaking case you can claim self defence and it is then up to police to prove it wasn't. After the case with the motorcycle they will be a little more timid as the magistrate was pretty pissed that they pursued it. Talk to a lawyer but you should be able to defend yourself. As for the other one, you may have some difficulty and it would cost an engineer from MU automotive area.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
