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.

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
