Spew

The fine for not having number plates is only $50 and no demerits

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Cost me $100 for having my plates lying on a 45degree angle (facing up) when I got done

/cry

Anything over 40 and your screwed. You will loose you license. I have had it done. You will recieve a summons in the mail most likely for something depending on the dude who is processing it.

Why were you doing speeds like that in a 60 zone Freeway yeah thats cool but damn man thats just stupid.

[PHATR32]

ye thanx tofu, i assume your an angel that never speeds... just like veryone else on this forum that doesnt or have the occasional run from the lights...............

[Driver]

ive never gone over the speed limit.

[Tofu]

Nah man i speed, like everyone else. I just choose not to do it in 60 zones or where little kids on their dirt races have a tendancy to jump out on the road.

These things happen though

Time & a place for everything etc etc........

Wherever your going, make sure you get there first, not how quickly you get there.

[PHATR32]

well thats the thing, this area is almost remote, and its a newly built dual lane road. Id be real worried if there was kids running around there.

Also as mensioned above i only stepped on it for a few seconds to pass a couple of cars taking up the right lane, which is exactly where is got me!

anyways, shit happens so i guess ill have to pay for it......

if they class it under the hoon law which i thought you had to be caught in the act youll get a hefty fine and poss 24hr conf.

if not and it could be classed as wreckless driving which is more than just speeding...

it really depends...

good luck with it though

[Phobic]

i got pinged for 40km over not that long ago got 4points and a $250 fine.

i was doing 110 in a 70 zone

[PHATR32]

4 points aint too bad, i got sseven left!

[Topaz]

Do you guys talk in points to lose or points to attain? ie. 12 points is a perfect full licence or zero points is a perfect full licence?

Because when I got my licence back everyone was saying you get 9 points to start with which I though you had 9 to lose, but its the other way around and you only get 3 to lose....

Stupid misunderstandings .

[Ant97GTR]

Nah mate you start with a certain no of points (in vic its 12) and lose them.....

[Topaz]

Well, either way, they mean the same thing but its worded differently. My understanding was you have 12 to lose, other explaain it as having 12 to gain

[PHATR32]

no you dont, you start with no points and you gain them!

which is why they are called DEMERIT points

i currently have 5 demerit points against my driving record. which mean if i get 7 more i lose my lic. etc

people always get it wrong, but it easier to say it the other way.
