Hey guys,

Was late for an appointment today and was speeding a bit near home (with an IS300 on my tail). Saw a cop car facing me and hit the brakes. He turned around and pulled us both over. Got me at 72 in a 50 zone. I told him I have a clean record and he said once it's logged he can't cancel it so I should write to them and they might consider it as I'm 21 and have had no offences whatsoever. The cop was okay about it but said unfortunately he couldn't do anything about it there. I acknowledge my mistake and understand that it's my own fault but hope to appeal with my clean record.

What do you guys suggest I do? (or use in my argument). 3 points and $197 for a silly mistake is not good in anybody's language :D

Anyway, just thought I'd get your opinions. Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.

Cheers

Yeah he probably didn't want to bother. He suggested I write in though (maybe to sound like he was trying to help). The infringements people said I can try my luck and write in using my clean record to gain a 'caution' so I'll see if I can come up with a letter and some kinda excuse.

Hehe yeah the 10th one would be a little more distressing, but you know how it is, it's disappointing losing your clean record to a silly mistake.

I have tried writing in but it did me no good. If you acknowlege you were in the wrong then you have nothing to write in about... I suppose I have this attitude because I have 12 points back now and am loving it.

I know EXACTLY how you feel in regards to this ticket, but it is the only way we all learn!

I agree with everyone in that there's always a first offence and tojust cop it on the chin, after all it was my fault. You do have a point there in that I haven't been driving for that long anyhow.

Btw, I normally do leave early but I guess there's always a first hey? So anyway, it's all over with now so I'll accept it as it is.

Thanks for all the comments.

Yeah I bought it just after finishing uni (a few months ago), I bought it used and on a loan with a residual so doesn't work out to be that expensive. Would've cost me a similar amount for an R33 GTST since the bank wouldn't give me a residual on one of those as it's imported.

Mick.

exactly.

he's probably saying that so he doesn't look like a pri*k or something.

they are trying to pin me and he didn't even HAVE a radar thingy. :D

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
