Damn Chris :)

I have not been in this situation, so i can't give you any advise.

Good Luck with what ever decision you choose. I know Ash knows a good traffic solicitor, maybe have a word to him to discuss your options.

thanks Al...

yeah there is one guy who is a guru....I'm onto him already.

I might just delay with letters for 6 months...just cos I can

I'm over it now..time for more F&F DVDs

thanks for letting me rant a bit makes me feel better...

its not a crime if nobody's getting hurt :)

Someone who should by all rights be unlicensed or on a 0 point probation for the next year, continues to carry a license with no probation because someone else took the points....I LOVE double standards ! :)

my uncle keeps asking family members for points, all up his probably lost 30+ points but hasn't lost his licsense because of different family members taking the blame each time instead of him lol

It's a crime if it's against the law. And perjury is against the law.

But typical of society today - noone prepared to take responsibility for their own actions.

Chris, if you elect to fight this in court, and drag the time out then you may recover enough points to hold onto your license when you eventually decide to pay the fine and a little bit extra for the privelege. They cannot remove the points until you have been found guilty or choose to pay the fine. If you state you are not guilty then they have to prove it, not just arbitrarily take the points until you prove you are not guilty. If they have then the Vic govt is taking a substantial chop at your rights, but then you are a motorist - the worst type of mass murderer ever......

Sorry to hijack, a question for GTRGeoff.....

If in a far away land, a motorist were to be caught by a fixed camera on the reverse side of a bridge doing 7km's over the limit, how can this speed be acurately measured as this motorist tells me there are no lines on the road indicating distance measured etc nor which lane the camera was focused on as there were 4 (potentially any of the space craft travelling in any lane could have commited said offence).

Any thoughts?

Al, there is a fairly detailed answer required there, but it depends on the technology used. In the case of radar we have seen parked vehicles and slow coucil buses on a huge uphill climb being booked for outrageous speeds. There is just no reasonable argument for a citation from a cameras within 10kmh of the speed limit and it should be left to the human element (Police Officer) to determine whether the speed travelled is considered dangerous, else it is just revenue raising. Feel free to email me or give me a call if you want to have a thorough answer.

if its in Aus. then nearly all "certified" fix speed cameras use a pezo/pezo/pezo or pez/loop/pezo setup.

I did test some trial untis a few years back with radar but they always sucked.

yep thats the plan Geoff.

Essentially my understanding is that the TIN is cancelled once you "object" and obt to take it to court. Therefore I'm hoping that when i do this I new date will be used...

we will see... gonna see anyway

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
