Got a letter in the mail today

ACCUMULATION OF DEMERIT POINTS - NOTICE TO CHOOSE

Now I knew I'd been done for speeding twice in the last tweleve months, the letter confirmed that and stated I have lost a total of 7 points. I thought we had 12 on your opens in QLD????

So I have to choose suspension of license for three months or a good driving behaviour period of 1 year. The latter has a catch that If I'm done for anything at all in that year I loose my license for 6 months...argh crap I don't know if I have that much self control :x

[PranK]

oh its easy!

i have lost 1 point since starting to drive. (funnily enuf, it was in the slowest car i have owned!)

sorry to hear it tho dude, but bite the bullet and have the 12 month period.

[skyzerr33]

exactly take the 12 months its real easy

i've gone 3 years nearly (2 months to go) on 1 point after those two months i get 9 points back hehe that was a bad three weeks all those years ago doh.

3 points, 4 points and 3 points all for speeding with the cruise control on form the old telstar. horrible invention is cruise control.

[PranK]

holy shit! 9 points in a TELSTAR?? before you even got the R33?

thats crazy!

[skyzerr33]

i kept on forgetting i had the darn cruise control on

[meggala]

personally Id take the 3 months if they agive you back all your points

meggala

[PranK]

there is no way i could live without driving, if only for 3 months!

[meggala]

I could survive 3 months but never 6

Prank, if you had to do it buddy, you would. otherwise its jail (if you have a previous criminal record) and 1 year suspension.

megs, i'm with you. 3 months is ok but 6... hell no!

as most of you know i've got 'T minus 43 days' to go and it hasn't been all that bad. i must say these forums are keeping me sane and that's no joke!

also, i've learned more about cars, and have realised how much i appreciate them, in the last month than i would have ever in my life.

so...

thanks to everyone that's kept me sane.

I'm with Prank - I couldn't go 3 months without driving

take the 1 year good behaviour, and just try not to speed! All other traffic fines should be easy to avoid, like running red lights/not indicating, etcetc. Speeding's the only hard one.

[PranK]

speaking of not indicating, have mastered the art of indicating yet Shell? when i was down there on your cruise you would NEVER indicate! :)

Paul and I were laughing so much about that.

[Shell]

When?? :?

I don't remember not indicating *lol* :lol:

[dAVE]

qld's and people in tweed heads forget that cars come with indicators at all, damn its annoying.. specially on a round about where u pull infront of them and they r turning with no indicator..

on the other point... u should have 12 points.. so u probably picked up another 5 from somewhere else... if it were me, i would take the 12months as i havent had a speeding ticket since november 2000 and everywhere i go i sit atleast 15km over the limit.. i drive to southport every day of the week for uni (its 100km total there and back) for the last 3 months and drive at 130 the whole way and still havent got a ticket.. also drove from qld to melb and back without a ticket.. i guess im just lucky... the main thing u gotta do is be sensible in the 50/60km areas.. and the 80;s.. thats where u r most likely to get done.

personally Id take the 3 months if they agive you back all your points [/quote:3c0a1f59eb] damn good point, I'll have to check that, it doesn't say on the letter.

u should have 12 points[/quote:3c0a1f59eb] yeah, thats what I thought, these are my only two fines :roll:

[Squizz]

Take the suspension, I'm one week into it, it sucks ass but loosing one point is really easy, I lost two a while for not indicating soon enough...
