hmm, do they send u a picture along with the fine? and which angle of the car do they take a pic of, im assuming front/front corner, but my P plate fell off at the back so i might be able to work with something. im hoping it was under 29km's and my speedo is slightly out or something, but im preparing for a $700 fine and lots of points, just hope i dont lose my licence.

[bubba]

Yes they do send a photo.

Not sure how it is nowadays but back in the day (when I was 18ish), I got flashed in an unregistered car.. which they didn't pick up on.. all I got was a speeding fine lol

[Pal]

give you a close up of the driver, a close up of the plate and a pic of the whole car. got done for 11 over in my jackaroo last year

[Roid]

hey man stick to the speed limit. im a red p plater and most of the time i stick to the speed limit even if it seems slow, sometimes i go ten over but thats from take off.

if a car is tail gating you just keep left and it will eventually get pissed off and overtake. its better than some red p plater speeding off in his skyline, cos people might take your no. plates down and report you for hooning or some stupid thing like that.

i try not to give p platers a bad name so i try to stick to the rules even stupid ones.

happy safe driving, and unlucky for the fine.

i got flashed at night all they got was the front plate and left side of car.. its black and white photo so it would be hard to make out who is driving.. but if u got flashed day time it might show u in the pic see if ur mates can take the fall and get there points so ur in the clear ..

[Mr_GaZZa]

geez bruv,

think u could expect heavy fine 500++ and like 6 points, but u culd get lucky!!

hehe i got lucky few months bak.. 8clicks ova "mayb my bigg rims helped the over speed haha" n yeah got $50 no points on dbl demit w/e!

[Ehgriez]

Man 70 on that road is straight dumb, it used to be 90 then they rebuilt it made it dual lane installed new lights.... and dropped the speed limit to 70. I got done for 98 there and it was 300 and 3 points, which might i point out was 2am on a Tuesday night with nooone else around, you'd have to wonder if the police officers would of had something better to do.

[s13rb20pplater]

hhhmmmm new laws say 40+ = careless/reckless driving

coz your a p plater, it'll be a court summons and automatic loss of license...

yes i know, its f*kd, it happenening to me right now... cept i wasnt speeding got done for careless(being a muppet on road)

reckless driving is 45km/h over the limit (or doing something stupid like burnouts).

if you are doing between 29-40km/h over it is $700 and 5 points during a normal period.

You won't lose your licence, but obviously with the way you're driving it won't take long. Forget about retards tailing you, they get bored if you don't play back.

radar detectors are only useful if you're going maybe 10-20km/h over the limit as anything more and chances are you will get done before you have the chance to slow down enough.

And NEVER ever let your folks/friends take the fall for the ticket. If they find out you will be charged with perverting the course of justice (and so will your friend) and would likely receive a term of imprisonment. I had a client use his dad to take the fall for a multanova ticket, they found out, 12 months suspended term, and a lady got someone else to take the fall for a minor car accident, 12 months immediate term.

It's not worth it. Follow the road rules, go to track days with SAUWA and don't be one of those tools on Today Tonight making us look bad.

Nah man you wont loose your driver's licence, you will just have a whopping fine and demerit points.

Just slow down a little speeding aint worth it!

I've been flashed once since i've had my P-plates; doing 9km/h over the limit in a 70km/h zone, and that was a $75 fine and 0 demerit points....

Fines all together just suck ass so just slow down a little and try to avoid getting them!

[3LGODZILA]

got the fine today, says i was going 94 in a 70 zone, so thats 24 over i got put in the 20-29km/h category, $300 fine and 3 points, i was expecting a $500-$700 so im pretty relieved, it actualy looks like im laughing and staring at the camera hahaha but it must just be the dark pic coz i remember the flash getting me in the corner of my eye. oh and my radar retector saved my ass in mirrabooka the other day, it was going off so i was looking round for the camera, ended up seeing it on the other side of the road as i passed it, phew.

[Kerr34]

ahaha best rador deteector is to not speed:)

[hoony]

no offence James but your attitude towards driving on WA roads doesn't really help your image in deserving to use the roads

praising your Radar Detector, talking sh*t about the other cars on the roads that you made to sound like super slow cars ie. Excel's and Lancer's and assuming that everyone in the left hand lane is doing 80km/h - 90km/h is absurd

as i mentioned before dude, i don't want to offend you but you need to realise that possessing a license is a privilege and that the road isn't a place to zoom around in your car while always having an eye out for Radars

we all know that these turbo cars are capable of reaching speeds faster than others but it doesn't mean you can't follow the speed limit, and if you're running late, leave where you're going from earlier... just my2c mate

P.S: i am no saint on the road, but sometimes it takes a lot for someone to see this, just giving you a heads up... usually takes P Platers losing their licenses before they see that it's too late

i know wat ur trying to say, but just coz i stated i did some stupid things in my car doesnt mean i drive like that all the time, if i had told u about all the times ive driven like an angel id fill up these forums. i may b the only 1 admitting i do stupid stuff on the road, but over 50% of the modified cars ive been with on the road try and race me, or atleast race me when i give it a little squirt infront of them, actualy its probaly about 80%. and the comment about the radar detector, if anything i would have been going less then 5k's over coz i was overtaking a car, but when i drive past speed cameras/cops i like to brake so im going 5-10k's under the limit just incase i get done doing a 1 or 2 kays over or something like that

[viet_boi]

glad you didnt loose your license or anything and was way under what we estimated it would be, just remember drop 5 saves lives, drop skids happy kids..my2c

Speeding fines are basically just a form of " Stupid Tax ".

You can test yourself in a few basic ways;

* Have you been to the hospital for eating a packet of desicant in a new DVD box that says " Do not eat "?

* You know the published speed limit / read the sign but, speed anyway and find yourself blaming someone else, like the police, the car, your hair cut, the catholic church or your mum.

* You own a radar detector for one of two reasons ; a) you want to detect people trying to control your mind with a radar b) you want to break the law and not get caught.

In history the Stupid are always taxed because the Stupid tax themselves.

" Boo hoo, that road used to be 90km/h and now it's 70km/h it's not fair so I'll keep doing 90km/h and cry when I get fined" ... Hey buddy don't eat that thing, it says 'do not eat'......

Thanks for paying extra tax Stupid, now we can get another Bell Tower / Ferris Wheel

Don't forget that 85% of statistics are made up on the spot.

[Kerr34]

If you are going to speed (especially on p-plates with sweet f all experience on the road) and take the associated risk of being fined or causing an accident please don't whinge on these forums. You will get no sympathy from any of us. Have a nice day
