UPDATE - Got letter in the mail, got 189$ for driving on a suspeneded licence and got antoher 1 saying my licence is cancelled, did not get a fine or anything about going over the speed limit which is good cause l didnt feel like paying a $2000+ fine.
So does that mean it is over now l willl not have to go to court, just pay the $189 fine ?
And when they cancel your licence what does that mena, how long can you not drive for?
-
were you speeding?
nope, lm 100% confident that l was not speeding, if i was, it maybe of been bout 5km's from rolling down the hill, but thats about it. Think it was a mistake somewhere of reading the wrong cars speed or pulling the wrong car over
-
same thing happened to me 20 mins ago, but i had a license, and p plates.
i was coming into a 60 zone, i was doing about 60 at the most (maybe a click or two over) by the sign, dropped back to 4th and pulled up to jsut below 60.
no brake lights see....
now, of course i wasn't speeding, seeing as a very well known speed camera was ahead, about 40 metres. and i spotted the lights of the po po about 300 metres away. probably more.
the police car was on the other side of the road with a truck pulled over, he was on his way back to the car, he jumped in, then i heard the V8 motor give it a little squirt, in about 30 seconds, i was being pulled over.
he approached me and said, mate what's the rush, why didn't you slow down.
i said officer, i was doing the speed limit, of course. i mean there's a speed camera. (pointed behind me) then said, and i spotted your car from a long way away. of course i wasn't going to speed past you, that would be... well plain stupid.
and he said, i've got reason to believe you were speeding. he began to check my car out ( stocko celica)
when he could see what i was doing i got out and said to him, officer, if i was speeding and you have the proof. i'll take the punishment accordingly. fair and square. but i wasn't speeding
then he said, what am i doinng anyway, i said, coming from home girlfriends, he asked me a few basic things, adress, rego, etc. breathalised me and said, get on your way.
i said good night officer, got in and indicated away.
so he didn't have proof. just being a plain jerk. giving p platers a hard time.
it probably didn't help i've got a perfect record.
i'm not sure about your case, maybe he is even more of c unt.
maybe he is completely confused about what he saw.
if that's the case, court should go alright. you might be able to duck that one offence.
but best of luck.
wat a bastard, good for you that you got away with it... all comes down to how you talk back.

Dont bother fighting??? WHY??
If you didnt do anything wrong FIGHT IT!! DO anything you can in your power to get off the fines.
I dont know about the suspended license bit (need to know the reason behind that), but if you weren't speeding then by all means fight it.
Write a letter in and explain your story. Or take it to court and represent yourself. If all fails you know at least you tried.
A friend of mine got pulled over for not having his ps on the car by he actually did!! He wrote in a letter saying it was on the car etc.. He even took a picture of it.. Got off the fines etc.. So do everything in your power!!
But if you were really speeding then cop it on the chin!!
yeah exactly, better off trying and losing then not trying at all, if i was speeding l'll be ok with it and jsut take it, but l am soo sure that l wasn't speeding that the whole situtation just pisses me off
-
yes it can and will, depending on the gradiant of the hill, the speed and weight of the vehicle on cruise and wind direction.
All factors
Wind = Tail
Speed = 80
Weight = 1600kg
Hill Gradiant = 2.1
Now pump these figures into an engineers formula for working out speed v weight v gravity, then hey presto you will get your speed.
I am highlighting it is mathamatically possible to be over the limit with cruise control by more than 5 km/ph, BF Falcons cruise control going into the Burnley tunnel in Melboune would climb by 10 k plus down hill.
*You can hit me, kick me but please don't BS me*
This is true, and it will also depends on the steepness of the hill and how long the actual hill goes for, where l was caught the hill isn't steep enough for "my" car to get to 80 - 105 "without" touching the accelerator for the amount of time l am rolling down this hill , l know for a fact l was not goign anywhere near 105 km/hs lf i was speeding l wouldnt complain and take the charge
-
I'll say it again. A "Speed gun" will not display 101.5 as a speed. It only displays two things. Speed which is only in increments on single kilometres (98, 99, 100 etc) and range which displays in increments on 1/10th of metres (105.5, 105.6 etc)
So you may be looking at the wrong part of the display.
The only way the "speed gun" will detect a speed is from a stationary position. So he woudl have detected you as you went past him and then he caught up to you. You speed will only be displayed on the footage if you car detected by radar, whoever it will show you hauling arse past the camera.
As for it's range. If he can see you he can shoot you.
Good, l hope they have the camera on the car whilst they were parked on the side of the road because they will see the car behind me "hauling arse" , the officer did say the exact words u were doing 105.5 kmh's an hour and he did show me the number on the gun, maybe he was the 1 reading and shwoing me the wrong number, who knows, but i have the number for highway patrol now so i will give them a call and ask if i can watch the video and see what it has on it
-
lol at this thread you are full of it buddy there is no way they use there little gun while driving behind you LAMO!!!!!! 105.5klms so fcking funny
and if you going to think that you got this magical super crusie control that applies the brakes down hill once u reach the set speed u sir are on some good crack and also if you goto the station they have to show u the vid they dont have to give you a copy but they have to show u u are a retard LOL
l didnt say they had the camrra while driving behind me you dumbass they were parked on the side of the road with their camera and as for the speed i seen it with my own eyes on his gun
and i didnt say the f*kin cruise corntol slows u down the hill read properly idiot, l said when on cruise control it will go about 5km/hs over the speed l set it on when going down a hill and my car isnt goign to go from 80 - 105 rolling down a hill with my foot off the acelerator
-
You only get a copy if you go to court, but you can view it at the station at any time.
As for waiting for you, they are police, not mothers or babysitters and you are a grown man.
Once again. his "little gun" wont show 105.5 as a speed.
Well lm tellin you i seen it with my own eyes the speed on his gun said 105.5 to be exact l think it said 105.4
Cool, l'm going to go to the cop station on the weekend then and see if i can view my tape
-
yeahh l'll like to see the video before court, l went to the station and asked if i could get a copy of the audio and video but they said no u need to plead not guilty in court then u can get a copy, but i didnt ask if i could "view" the video so they might let me.
And l didnt tell them i could, l said l might b able to, but they didnt wait around for jsut 2min to see if it worked thye left my there, bastards.
And for the speed 105.5, he showed me his little gun with the speed on it :S
-
will be interesting to see the outcome and to know what a lawyer says to you, please continue your post with further info
yeah l'll keep u updated, pray that the police video shoes me not speeding
-
well either way i have to go to court ??
-
I got done doing the same shit.
Its sorta useless in my case because of my stupidity but i feel for you man.
Take it to court. Get yourself a lawyer. Have a chat to him. They will come up with something.. trust me.
The whole not recieving suspension doesnt mean a thing. You were expecting to get suspended right? If you arent 100% sure that you have a valid license then you shouldnt even touch your keys.
Secondly, if they had audio / video.. then your saved...
If they didnt, then you have a good chance. Because if a copper from my experience is finding out how fast your going. Will need it on video to be proven in court. As long as in the video you explained the circumstances, and didnt admit to speeding then you have an alright case i guess.
Dont expect to be let off for all your charges, because the courts gonna' call you an idiot for driving with no plates during double demerits, and will probably try to prove that you were driving as your dad because its rego'd under his name. And that you knew you were suspended, but took your dads ride out thinking if a rego check was done then it would just come up as an old person with a full license and they wont even both with a stock looking TX5 ..
Take a pic of your car aswell with specs.. character report from people real close to you. Have a reason to why you depend on your transport PRIVILEGES! Remember that word privilege.. Im serving a long Disqualification with a Good Behaviour bond because of a similar incident. And trust me.. if you go unrepresented your gonna' get the minimum 2 years on top, no chance of the Drivers Coarse thats offered at your local community centre, and you will also have to do community service and serve a 12 month good behaviour bond.
I did alot of research into this, they will throw your case in the bin if you go unprepared. They will throw you out of the court laughing if your main arguement is the fact that you didnt recieve that peice of paper that tells you that your suspended.

thanks for the detailed reply, l have an appointment in about 2 weeks to go get legal advice, l'll see what happens there, but yeah he said to me when he got to the car that this is video and audio recorded etc and l pointed out that the cruise control light was on and he said yes that he can see the light is on, l'll see what happens
-
well to answer to all your questions -
l'm having to have to go to court anyways l think the police man said that i will get a letter in 6-7 weeks to tell me my court date and he took my licence.
l'm guessing the car behind was doing 105 or very close to it cause l was doing 80 - 85 and he was catching me extrmely quickly.
The officer said he is recording the convo and video so does the video and auido record 24/7??? if so if their car was facing the street they might have a good view of me driving with the car speeding behind me ?
Someone said if i have cruise control on it goes over its limit - yes it does if i set it at 80 and im goign down hill it will go to 85 it is impossible for it to reach 105.5 km/hs
the car is stock as can be its a 1993 ford telstar tx-5, it is registered under my dads name so they could not of done a rego check on the car and see the driver is unlicenced.
A question for everyone, the speed guns they hold to take your speed, how far of a distance are you or can you be when they read ur speed?
l ask this because at the time they were taking my speed l dont even know if my car is fast enough to get to 105.5 km/h from around the bend l was turning from at 80 km/h which was a 1 lane road which u obviously cant drive fast around in my sort of car as the handling is a piece of shit at higher speeds
-
Right a letter explaining yourself if that fails then you will see yourself in court... Not alot you can do but make it a damn good letter.
who would i write the letter to???, l was told l will get a letter to go to court in 6-7 weeks ?
-
This is my story, tell me what you think and what l can do, any help is appreciated.
3 charges -
Driving on suspended license - l had not received the letter in my mail but surposally my license is suspended now this might just b my bad luck
Drviing without P plates - Fair enough l can take this charge l wont fight against that
"Doing 105.5 kmh's in a 80 zone!!!"
l am a red P-plater, l am driving a 1993 Ford telstar TX-5, it is stock as a bone.
Driving home 3am in the mourning with my "CRUISE CONTROL" button on set at "80 KM/H" going down a hill on cruise control the speed may pick up to about 85 km/h cause the car is rolling.
l look in my review mirror and a car l can see far away is going very fast " looked like to me around 105.5 km/h" coming up behind me then slows down fast and drives right up my ass, l double check my speed to make sure l am going only 80 cause i thought he might of been a cop car, 10 seconds later a cop car comes out of no where behind the car that was speeding behind me, puts his sirens on, overtakes the car behind me, gets behind me and pulls me over.
Police officer comes out the car and claims l was doing 105.5 km/hs in a 80 zone, l told him how can i be going 105 km/hs when l have cruise control on set at 80 km/hs , l pointed out the cruise conrol light that was on.
Officer claimed l "overtook" the car behind me where l was in the left hand lane the whole way and the car behind me came speeing up "my" ass
l hope the police has a video of the whole thing, and l hope they have audio of the entire conversation.
Another question is are the police meant to wait till someone picks you up ?, l had run out of credit on my phone and went up to the police car and told them l have no credit to ring anyone, they ummmmed and hmmmd and said there is no emergency phone boxes around here and said "we dont have time", l then said, oo l think i can recharge using my direct debit card, they said ok, l went to my car to get my wallet and they drove off leaving me there and turns out u can not recharge using the direct debit card over the phone so i was left there with no contact with anyone, thanks for keeping us safe.
So my question to everyone is, can l do anything about this ? they told me l will have to go to court, l need to wait for the letter to come to my mail, lm going to go get legal advice, is it worth it ?
Thanks
