Stinky Rooster Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 http://www.officeofroadsafety.wa.gov.au/do...08DLleaflet.pdf It could be either $300 and 3 points, or $700 and 5 points for a regular license AFAIK, but due to the fact that you are a p-plater, you may need to prepare yourself for one of these...

R DIRTY 3 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Have i got this right, You were in a 70 zone doing 100 over. So you were travelling at 170+? If so, dont worry about you license, worry about your cell mate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/255250-got-flashed-by-camera-at-about-30ks-over/#findComment-4403264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WA_R32 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 im pretty sure that if you were doing 100 over you are screwed and by screwed i mean that your 5c piece is gonna look like a 50c piece pretty soon Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/255250-got-flashed-by-camera-at-about-30ks-over/#findComment-4403277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3ndan Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 p plates got 12 points . 30 over im pretty sure is roughly 400 - 500 bucks and 5 or 6 points. so it all depends on how much points u have inccured.

burkill Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 you'll probably lose it for 3 or 6 months. doesn't matter about the points, you're going have zero. red platers in nsw have 4. any speeding fine here is 4 points.

Not the same in W.A tho. LAst time i heard p platers and non platers have 12 points each. You cant compare states as each has their own legislation.

NA_Goodness Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 You wont lose your license. I got done doing 135kms on the freeway (I had to get home and go to bed cos it was late and I had work the next day... Never again!!) It was 5 points and $700. A radar detector is a good idea, but so is slowing down. I''ve lost 11 points in 12 months, trust me, speeding isnt worth it!! I've paid more on speeding fines then a radar detector would cost Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/255250-got-flashed-by-camera-at-about-30ks-over/#findComment-4403717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

3LGODZILA Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) yeh i spose the way id been driving i was bound to get fined sooner or later it was on alexander drive comming towards hepburn (in malaga), i personally think 70k's is too slow for that road anyways, the left lane usualy moves at 80-90k's, i dont know y i was speeding i just took off from the lights, built it up to 100 then started to cruise over the hill. the reason i hate driving the speed limit...every single car drives up my ass even in the left lane, they usualty have some piece of shit lancer/excel or something along those lines, they change lanes give u a dirty ass look, then rev the living guts outa there 4 banger to make it move, just makes me wna shoot past em. another example, on hepburn (80ks) i had some cnt in some new sum sort right up my ass, usualy wen some1s tailgating i speed up a lil, to prevent road rage, so i get up to 90 ks stil up mi ass, 100 still there, by tghis time i think he wants to race or something, 120 still there, i boot it to 140 still there so i just turn off, do a U-turn and come back to find the guy pulled over with his interior light on, my guess wud be calling to hoon hotline, even tho i wuda been driving the speed limit if he wasnt half way up my ass edit: oh yeh i bought a whistler pro78, he gave it to me for 500 coz i told him wat happened, might get a scrambler after i do some research to see how legal they are, and apparently zenon gas charged headlights (just those halogen ones) contribute to preventing a reading from lasers/multinovas so i might start driving with headlights on during the day too. the detector is pretty good, picked up a cop car on the way home, and i went past the camera again (so tempted to run it over) and the detector picked it up as soon as i turned the corner, prbly a good 2-300 meters.

Char Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) u were 30k over slowing down? atleast ur honest.. u've been driving for 6months? "personally think 70k's is too slow for that road" "100 over give or take, as i was slowing down" some of ur previous posts along the lines of: 'car isnt fast enough anymore', 'cant do good burnouts' etc, sounds to me like you need to chill out on the road. kick back n relax its not a race champ. edit: to clarify, reckless driving is when ur doing 45k over the speed limit Edited February 2, 2009 by Char Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/255250-got-flashed-by-camera-at-about-30ks-over/#findComment-4403952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Keets Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I've had one of those detector dealies and I lasted in my car for a couple of months. Even the good ones seem to go off for no reason. The best way is to learn the hidey holes the man uses and be ready to hit the brakes when you see something that doesnt belong...oh or slow down Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/255250-got-flashed-by-camera-at-about-30ks-over/#findComment-4403957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
