How important is your licence?

(assuming it was by a radar gun) You can contest this in court and have a good chance of winning but it will cost you for $$ for a good lawyer. I believe the standard method is to ask the police for the guidelines of use, a certificate of compliance and a certificate of callibration for the radar gun. I essence you are challenging the accuracy of the gun and the procedures used by the user. (all of which I have been lead to believe the police are reluctant to produce)

There are specialists in this area and their advice should be sought.

Good luck with the first one. The new units must be calibrated every time before they can be used. The only chance you may have is that where the officer was positioned in relation to where you are may have given an inaccurate reading.

if you have a bucket full of cash you can still beat it based on their methods of calibration

i had similar thing police provided a piece of paper saying it was calibrated that day or the day before and i had a specialist tear them apart just a letter from the specialist cost me $800 the whole ordeal went on for 1.5 years and cost me like $1600, but i didn't have to miss a day off work and i was proven innocent which to me was worth it as i too was looking @ loss off license

Yeah sure mate, I can guarentee that no person will ever recieve a fine for breaching the speed limit by 2km/h let alone get branded a hoon for it but why let facts get in the way of a good rant :P

The poster admitted he breached the speed limit by 18km/h, doesnt deny it. Hes not a bad bloke nor is he a criminal, but the fact of the matter is he has breached one of the rules of the road by more than just a trifling amount. It is good to see he is more concerned with accepting responsibility for his mistake and going about trying to get his licence back.

Pepsinator I am off work for a few days sick, I know a lot of this stuff off the top of my head but unfortunately not exact numbers etc.When I get back I will see if I can find out some more details for you re this matter and avenue of appeals and/or what happens when you get your licence back.

the italics mean sarcasm. just so you know.

Self explanatory.....just saw that you realised what i meant....its all good

I HAS I HAS !

i got done for 80 in a 50 but they didn't have proof of the speed and did me for "exceeding speed in built up area" which was 3 points , then i got done for no p plates in my dads work car when i went to get dinner, and the cop at the time said the usual shit that "its up to motor reg to decide" , and well 100% of the time they disqualify you.

i got a letter of disqualification in the mail a week after i paid the fine saying id lost my license and that it was a breach of my probationary conditions.

i took it to court and had a letter from my employer and the judge was forgiving and understood what had happened and gave me my licence back

only shit thing is im on 1 point for the next 2.5 years but i don't see it being a problem as i learnt my lesson when i got done for 80 in a 50 and now i dont

speed anywhere no matter what.

Pritty much the same deal for me there mitchamus, got done for doing 80 in a 60.lost the licence and apealed it for work and went to court and pleded my case and got it back with 1 point. Im also the same as you mitch, i dont speed any where for anything. its seccond nature to me now seems i have been doing it for what feels like an eternity.i think its actually made me a worse driver tho. its made me that paranoide ill litrally look down at the spedo every 3 secconds or so.

But what really shits me off is my gf who speeds absolutly everywhere atleast 10 - 20 kmh over and in the 4 months or so we have been together NOT ONCE has she been done by a speed camera or radar.since she has been with me iv drilled it into her that its not on but she still does it,it just doesnt get through no matter what i do. Beleve it or not shes actually the better one out of her friends. One of them is by far the worse driver i have ever seen and im at a loss to how the F*CK she got her licence. once she managed to spin out of control at a right hand corner from a standstill on a dry road and end up in someones front yard. Shes never been done for anything ether. I cant wait for the day they get done and have to go through the same shit.

End rant.

EDIT: Oh and mitch i would be looking into what conditions are on your licence too. i thought after my 2.5 years were up id be moving onto my full licence......until i got a letter in the mail the other week saying that there are changes to P1 and L licence holders about using hands free kits and stuff. Now to my understanding i wasnt on P1 or P2 or anything like that as i got my licence long before that stuff came in and when i lost it and got it back that all happend long before it came into affect too. I tryed ringing motor reg to sort it out but after being on hold for an hour and a half i gave up. My licence runs out soon and if i have to be stuck on P2s for another 6 months ill be severly pissed off!

I'm no expert in these matters, but I would've thought the notice was pretty self explanatory :blink:

Jack, it all comes down to getting cuaght at the wrong place in the wrong time.

You always see people doing huge speed runs on various roads at various times of the day and they never get caught, yet another person might be going 10k over the limit and get pinged straight away.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
