I just got a 9 month suspension and $750 fine for Reckless Driving (inherently dangerous). My story in short (on my statement of material facts) is that I was doing 204kmph in a 100 zone, with a passenger, and left 75m worth of skids before doing a 180 spin and bogging the car. Very bloody stupid of me... and even more so for putting my (ex now) best mate in severe danger.

Just out of curiostity, Whats your worst conviction?

JK

Im just interested because I think I was very lucky and got a very low penalty for what I did. Im far from gloating. Im a fckn idiot for doing what I did, especially endangering the life of my passenger.

There were about 10 driving charges I saw in court this morning and some people do some crazy shit, so Im just wondering if anyone else would care to share what theyve done.

JK

turned the corner on the horseshoe bridge (on the way up) too fast and screeched my tyres...... and then 3 cops on bikes at the blue cat stop turned around and rode towards me and pulled me over on wellington st...

100$ fine for not having my P's up... consider myself lucky...

but other than that, in my 5 yrs of having my license, clean sheet... go me... *touches wood*

I got done for not paying my rego (3 weeks or so overdue) and the cop gave me a court summons for it. I had to either go to court and plead guilty, or fill in a form saying that I plead guilty. inc $200 fine

BTW.. i was doing nothing wrong, going the speed limit, indicating etc.. he was just a di ckhead cop with nothing else better to do (obviously they rid WA of criminals that day) :P

Well i just got miy lic back today. Lost it for :

90 in a 70 -3 points

0.06 on double demrits/fast eddies run - 6points

and last but not least "turning in front of oncoming traffic" - 3points

The last one consquently wrote off a 86 corrola that nailed me in the ass and caused a fair amount of damage to the supra. 3 weeks later i got it out of the repair shop and went for a cruise.

3 Points and $150. Was originally Reckless driving charge (9 points and ?????I think) but I fought it in court.

Tried to outrun a cop on a motorbike through the suburbs. He claimed in court that I reached 150km/h on a particular street. I presented a Lands and Survey Department map that showed the street was only 300 metres long and argued that my car (which was wrongly described in the police statement as a Nissan Pulsar) could not possibly have done that as it "was only a 4 cyl Nissan" and that the cop was grossly exagerating the facts.

The judge said I wasn't an angel but he sided my way more than the cop's and hence discounted the charge considerably.

I was driving my old S15 at the time which was running a Garret GT25/35 supported by big injectors, PFC, front mount etc.

Oh, btw, I think that the cop was actually pretty well on the money with his statement - just wrote down the car model by mistake!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
