Got Flashed By Camera At About 30k's Over

[3LGODZILA]

im a red P plater, got mi license 3 months ago, how much demerit points do i have? is it 6 or 12?

i got flashed on a 70km road doing about 100 over give or take, as i was slowing down, didnt see it at all, the jellyback was walking round his car at the time it didnt click to me, then i got flashed, i thought it was a bright sun reflection in my eye then i looked bak and was like ohhhh ffs.

how much do u recon the fine will be? hopefuly mum or dad can take the points and i pay the fine, anyways im off to morley go get a whistler pro78.

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...

100km/h over the limit?

erm thats licence disqualification speeds mate. sorry?

i got flashed on a 70km road doing about 100 over give or take

lol um u lose ur license

but if u meen u were doing 100 in 70 zone.. depends exactly how much over u were. wen i was a p plater i got done for 28 over. was 4 points and like 350/400$ cant remember

i think 30 and above is reckless driving and loss of license tho.

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

[inthisglass]

i think he mean to say he was doing 100

so 30 over

[WA_R32]

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

[br3ndan]

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.

i was done 22km over. got $300 fine. lost 6 demerits coz long w/e so dble

[3LGODZILA]

f*k oops i went 30 over, i was going around 100km, heh my bad

[R34P3R]

why were you going that fast anyway? its pretty dangerous for someone who just got their license dont you think??

[burkill]

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]

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

[ahh 33 s2]

yeh just slow down aye.. i have lost my licence twice and ot took twice for me to realise it sucks, i havent lost a point in 15months and drive every day, there is plenty of motorsport available to give ur car a good thrashing.

[3LGODZILA]

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.

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

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

arent radar detectors illegal in WA ?
