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

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.

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, 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. :wink:

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.

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.

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.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 馃槷 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
