what the feck

now i'm really pissed

as above on the way to work on the freeway

got pulled over by a bikecop for travelling 4km straight in the right lane. 2km of which i was over taking cars going slow in the left lane.

final fine here $50 and 2points.

so should fight it or take the option the probationary thing (where u have to be good for one year with a set amount of points. also how many points u get with this?) when i loose my licence seeing i have 1 point left.

any cops on here u can advise?

Breaking news

I have the best girlfriend in the world. She called the local cop shop.

Told them what happened. (This proves there are good cops out there) The officer she spoke said the laws had been changed recently and in WA on a multi lane road your allowed to travel in the right hand lane for as long as you want as long as you are not doing less than 10kph under the speed limit for the road.

Going on this I should be safe, Kyles was also given anothers officers name and station for me to go see to sort it out.

What a girl

Gotta love her mwa thanks babe.

The law in NSW is that on a freeway you must move to the left unless you are passing another car ie. "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING".

If there's one thing that REALLY CHEESES ME OFF it's drivers that sit in the right hand lane. This is both a discourteous and frustrating habit. :x

They are either oblivious to the cars piling up behind them (scary thought), self-appointed speed police or f***wits who don't give a sh1t.

I don't know what the definition of "overtaking" is. As long as there is a speed differential one would think that you were "overtaking". When there are no longer any cars to pass, move left.

The problem with doing this is you may lose your "slot" in the traffic due to every other f***knuckle speeding up to close the gap.

A comprehensive driver training programme is way overdue in Australia. Followed by mandatory re-testing every 5 or so years for ALL OF US!

Just my $0.02 :P

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
