Lol, I thought it was your job to watch your own speed, as you ARE the driver? I think if you are old enough to drive, you should be old enough to take the responsibility of your actions :P

Cmon give him a break, 5ks?

So I ever see you driving 5ks over the limit i will call you irresponsible too?

I'd put in under my oldies too, they're pretty strict when you're on your Ls

I wouldn't risk saying it was you........

The writing a letter and getting a warning only works if you've had 3 full years driving history with a clean record and it's your first fine, and that doesn't include the learner period. P's or full licence only...

Well, my folks are paying it because they are they driver really, they should be watching the speed for me and advising me not to speed

This infuriates me.

I didn't call him irresponsible for speeding, but I said since he WAS driving, he should take the consequences of his own actions.

When I do get done for speeding, I cop it on the chin and learn from it, that's how you'd learn. You do the crime, you do the time.

Simple as that.

Having your L's is the same as on your P's, you can't get more than 5 points in a period of 12 months.

5k's over = 1 point, and like $140 fine.

$146 ain't a huge sum to pay, but the points.. ooooh..

then again, i have better things to do with $146, but i'm sure you've seen the thread about them clamping the cars of people who don't pay up. So, you'd better pay.

But i'm sure if it was a speed camera, they snap the picture, and the fine goes straight to the registered owner of the car, correct me if i'm wrong.

That's correct. Also I don't think it really matters if your L plates were up or not, you can just say that your parents paid for it without requesting for a photo, so they didn't know that your L plates was up and you were driving. But then again, do they even check?

But funny thing is, SAU doesn't condone illegal things and isn't this illegal? :)

Mate, you should have your eyes pinned to the speedo, so should your parents. I dunno who is worse. I know that when I was on my L's if I was speeding or doing anything wrong I knew about it straight away. The whole point on learning to drive is learning how to drive properly - this INCLUDES not speeding. I mean fark, a ticket on your L's, what will your P's and full licence going to bring?

Yes, people make mistakes but if you do happen to then man up and cop it on the chin, don't be a child. If you cop it sweet and learn then you've done the right thing and FFS, pay the fine yourself.

/end rant :laugh:

While i was on my learners the moment i managed like 3k or whatever over my dad would make this really annoying disapproving noise...soon taught me to watch my speedo a bit more often so as to avoid it cuz it got on my nerves lol. I got my first ticket a year or 2 into my Ps...10km over...car was in my dads name so the fine was sent to him (camera fine) and i legitimately thought it was a 110 zone not 100 so it was an honest mistake...but after umming and ahhing over whether i should take the point until it was too late, my dad took the point and i paid the fine...with P plates up and he wasnt also fined or anything. Just to answer the question from earlier...about Ls and P plates for a full licensed driver generating another fine. I was prepared to take the point, parents chose to instead however.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
