this chick on her L's is a complete dumb$hit...personally im on my L's and mine has just ober 200rwkw, after seeing a friend of mine wrap himself around a telegraph pole going 70 in a 50 zone in his '88 crx, the last thing i wanna do is start drivin like a dikhead in my car, i think some ppl arent aware of how much trouble power can get u into, but others mature quicker and know the consequences either fines or injury..i agree harder penalties are required for stupid shit like that, its the only way the learner will LEARN...

as for the media there all f*^king stupid and its true that they only present stuff of interest regardless of truth...

cheers...ben.

I agree with 2BNVS, tougher penalties are a good idea but it all depends on the individual. Some people will never learn until they crash and injure themselves or someone else. I think everyone here has more sense than to do 205km/h on a public road, but obviously that girl didn't. Just be happy she didnt kill someone else with her own stupidity.

omg r u serious?

1000 + 1 yr suspension WTF?

im on my greenz wit no driving history and got done a few months ago for doing 130 in a 70 zone. I was lucky enough that the cop wrote 45kms over and i still ended up getting a 6months suspension + $1600 fine + 6points.!!

wtF? she basically doubled the speed limit without a license and she got off then me...

and who says the law is fair for everyone..pftt...that chick should get her license stripped for life, doing something so stupid witout any experience or a license. I hope she learns her lesson during the suspension coz im learning it the hard way as well.

in my opinion you shouldnt be driving for the next 2 years... i wouldnt be complaining with how you got treated

okay well its is apparent that we cannot rely on the media for any real and correct info as every channel believes it is a different car. The only thing is certain is that it was beyond stupid, penalty was ridiculosly beyond stupid and thank god no one was hurt.

i guess we can only hope that justice will be served when this girls is allowed behind a wheel again that she fails every attempt at going for her p's, and, that people are aware thta she likes to take cars off on her own so they should watch their keys when around her.

A Melbourne teenage learner driver, banned from driving after being clocked at more than 200 km/h, has been caught behind the wheel again.

The 18-year-old woman from suburban Laverton was driving with a 16-year-old female friend on July 2 when a police radar clocked her at 205 kph in a 100 kph zone on the Western Ring Road Road at Sunshine, in Melbourne's west.

She was fined $430 and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

But just hours after Victoria Police assistant commissioner (traffic) Bob Hastings on Monday slammed her behaviour as irresponsible, the speedster was again nabbed by police.

She was allegedly driving a vehicle in suburban Newport without L-plates and without a fully-licensed driver.

Police today confirmed the teenager would be charged on summons with two traffic offences and would have to appear before a magistrate after being intercepted by police about 11.30pm (AEST) on Monday.

Mr Hastings said the woman initially was booked under a recent police speeding blitz on the ring road.

"If you're an L-plate driver, you've got to get experience, but you get the experience in the proper way," he said.

" ... you can't justify that speed, particularly when you're an L-plater driver learning and getting experience on the road."

The news came as the teenager's sister today claimed police had ignored her earlier warnings about the teen.

"I'm really glad they have caught her doing this, but it's a little but too late," the 23-year-old woman, who did not want to be named, told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.

"She should not be driving, and I just feel that if the police had contacted her earlier the situation would not have happened."

The woman said she had called police anonymously to report that her sister had been driving without a fully licensed driver since she bought herself a car in April.

"I didn't want to dob her in, but I just did it purely for the safety matter and to save the family any grief," the woman said.

A friend of the teenager, who gave his name only as Matthew, said he had tried to tell her she should not be on the road.

"She shouldn't even be on the road, I told her that," he told radio 3AW.

He said the teenager had also recently crashed another car.

"She wiped it (the car) off, right off... she got her friend to tow the car away."

He said she did not have a licensed driver with her at the time of the crash and the police were unaware of the incident.

The teenager later told 3AW producer Justin Smith she knew she had done wrong.

"She won't talk on air. She's just hoping everything will blow over," Mr Smith said.

"She said she's had a lot of family worries over this.

"She said she knows she's done the wrong thing, but she just wants to let it blow over."

It doesnt matter what restrictions you place on young drivers, whether it be power or curfew or whatever. There will still be some of us that do stupid things and get ourselves hurt. What young drivers need is proper driver education and training. Its an attitude and overconfidence thing, and its never the cars' fault either.

I am an L plater and i drive a turbo'd car. So what? Does that automatically mean im going to go out and drive my car at unsuitable speeds? Once again, it seems everyone has lunged at the stereotypical throat of young drivers...

Those stereotypes exist for a reason.

You forget that we all were once L-platers with something to prove as well, and in HINDSIGHT (something you are not yet blessed with), a power restriction for L-platers and P-platers is an excellent idea.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
