Many speeding, 1 stop sign, 1 red light, loss of license on demerits and the driving without a license and driving an unreg vehicle. All when I was young (>10 years ago). 1 speeding ticket in last 5 years, and none in the 2.5 years I have had a Skyline. I learnt my lesson.

I got done last year the weekend after labour weekend for an "unecessary exhibition of acceleration" as the cops were on a rampage trying to impound every car that they could. Fortunately for me I know the law better than the cops did so never had to go to court or anything as I sent them a complaint form and it seems like they have accidentally misplaced all the paperwork. Had 2 speeding fines and once for carrying passengers too.

Only 1 fine ever, which was a negligent driving fine when I rolled my first skyline (young + stupid + dirt road + middle of nowhere)

other than than not even a speeding fine *crosses fingers*

been driving for almost 5 years

*sigh* here we go

Numerous 1 point fines

Numerous 2 point fines

3 point fine for driving without undue care and attention (i rear ended a poor lady - she was turning in an obsecure place on a double white line tho)

recently 4 point for doing 84km/hr in a 50zone ..... bye bye licence.

Recently another 1 point fine.

Pulled over plenty of times before - where they havent had A. My speed or B. My charm mustve paid off :D

15-30kmh exceed speed

negligent driving

15-30kmh exceed speed

45kmh+ exceed speed

0-10kmh exceed speed

plus some more i don't know.

The above is by what the cop has said not what I've been charged with.... man they talk alotta shit sometimes dunthey?

3pts $100 fog lights

3pts $150 driving without due care and attention - mild-swerving to avoid sh*t on the road

1pt $100 Speeding

4pts $250 speeding (didnt exceed 74 in a 70 zone, and was turning off, radar said 97, i got done for 102, go figure, took it to court and lost)

so only 2 speeding fines in 5 years....the rest are all bored cops with chips on thier shoulders....

Come on guys and girls, this thread aint a good idea. The only thing I don't like about my skyline is the amount of attention it draws from the cops, this thread aint helping.

Refer: Cops on Forum thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...t=cops+on+forum

let alone the insurance implications if the companys find out about this brag session.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick, mate. I haven't noticed anyone bragging. The majority have been contrite, said how they have learned their lessons and are more careful now. Some have indicated their view that they have suffered from over-zealous policing. A couple have been flamed for being dick-heads (like 160 in a 50 limit is just insane. Sh#t, 50 limits are where there are kids around!)

From what I have seen, I doubt that what has been posted here shows anything more than what you would see from a standard cross-section of motorists. Anyone trying to portray these driving records as irresponsible hoons would struggle, with perhaps one or two exceptions.

This forum is about promoting responsible use of performance vehicles. What this thread demonstrates is that the vast majority are your average responsible driver - they are not saints and have made mistakes. But they recognise those mistakes and have improved their driving as a result of it. The kids who think the road is their race track, even past the local primary school, will read this and see that this is not the norm nor is it hailed as some sort of macho demonstration of driving ability. It is pilloried as the stupidity that it is.

Why is this a negative message to the cops? As for the insurance companies, there will be nothing here that is out of the ordinary for them. The records displayed and the respective ages will accord with their statistics, I am sure, and it will be nothing that they don't already know.

"Hush, don't talk about it - someone might be listening" is not an appropriate stance for this thread and what it is showing.

And, Meep, in case I didn't make it clear above, there is no "whoops" about 160 in a 50. That's just plain dumb.

Cheers.

Fair enough, point taken,

I did'nt think having a thread devoted to driving offences committed by skyline owners was a great idea. "Brag session" were perhaps badly chosen words.

Only an opinion,

Cheers.

ive had a few 1 pointers <10k's over and 2 3 pointers 20k's over.

but these were either on a freeway or on long 80kph roads etc.

i dont speed in built up areas (50ks), and anywhere near schools etc. I work at a school and i have had dumb ass kids step out onto the road without looking.

i had my insurance cancelled because i failed to disclose my driving history at one stage as well as my racing harness when i had my commodore. luckily i wasn't at fault in the accident but it was still a rude shock for me.

my driving history is ridiculous but i have got better with age. i have paid (wasted) thousands in fines for the way i drive and it makes me a target of the police to this day. i have been on a hit list for some time. the last cop that wrote me a ticket for excessive noise did so because he saw i had so many other fines for excessive noise already. i am not saying that i haven't deserved 90% of the tickets i have been issued cause i did. it just makes you a target.

my driving history is a few pages long. (this is what i can remember maybe not quite accurate numbers - except for excess noise)

multiple excessive noise fines.

a few speeding fines.

no seatbelt at schoolies (drunk-passenger-doing 20kph down the road at the gold coast)

a couple of defect notices.

a dangerous driving fine incurring loss of license. (high speed chase 190 in 100 zone)

there is more and stories behind each case. (i have been through multiple licenses)

i am not proud of my history and it isn't cool when you can't drive your car for months at a time and have to face a magistrate. i always seem to learn my lessons the hard way. it has basically made comprehensive insurance something i can't afford and only one or two company's would insure me anyway.

i find it difficult not to get enthused and give the line a squirt here and there but there are consequences for this unfortunately. sorry for the rant my 2c..... i don't need a lecture from anyone here on there thoughts on my driving either.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
