Most Ridiculous Fine Ever Cause He Couldn’t Find A Reason To Defect Me


Recommended Posts

Infringement Notice: “Drive high powered vehicle”

Penalty: $234

Points: 3

Location: Knox- stay away from here! Lesson for all i hope

My question is this possible for a green P-plater? And does anyone have the law around this.

Story:

Decided to remove this contents as this is a open public forum and no doubt the police reguarly search it, still have respect to police although words can't describe how pissed off i am! happy to pm anyone that want the full story but honestly very disappionted with the above and the circumstance and dialog that was exchanged. for my defence i was in no way shape or form was "a typical p-plater hoon in a skyline" or rude and was complement seriously about my good attitude

yeah i got done twice. first time fine and 3 demerit points, second time 10days before i got off my p's. he was nice enough to only fine me and not take points as i would've lost my license. would've preferred not to drive the car, but being the only car i have, had no choice.

it sucks, but that's the law. green p's is still under power-to-weight ratio. its there to save lives lost, especially inexperienced drivers in control of high-powered vehicles.

you're able to register the car under your name, just not able to drive the car till you're off your p's

I know how upset you are...however, he was doing his job. Doesn't matter in which city or town you are in... If you drive a high powered car on your P's then you're breaking the law. Sell your Skyline or don't drive it until you're off your P's.

Do you drive a turbocharged car on your P's? Yes.

Is it currently illegal (new system) to drive a turbocharged car on your P's? Yes.

Sorry, you are driving illegal, it is not ridiculous.

Or

Are you on your Ps under the old system - illegal (old system) to drive a car over 125kw/tonne limit on yours P's? Yes.

Is a R33 GTS-T under the old system, OVER the power to weight limit? Yes.

Sorry, you are driving illegal, it is not ridiculous.

Either way, R33 GTS-t's are illegal. Were illegal, and probably will forever be - da da daaaa... Illegal

So to be... straight... your story means nothing.

Fact: You were driving illegally.

Yes this sounds harsh, and it is, but these threads come up every couple of months from people either to ignorant to the law, or just plain pretending the law does not apply to them.

Time to accept it and move on.

As you'll now notice, you have lost 3 points. Get busted once more - bye bye licence. Time for a new car i think.

As with past threads - this will go nowhere fast.

Locked.

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
