Tactic,

write a letter and send it in, it's worth a try. It could save you some money and some points, you never know. Of course, 'cos you haven't had your licence for long, they might not even bother to read it, but try anyway.

If you were caught by a camera, just say in your letter "I neither admit nor deny that I was speeding, but..." then just basically say that you were concentrating on something or other on the roadside and blah blah blah...

MAKE SURE the letter is written professionally, and be VERY CAREFUL of the wording to make sure you don't incriminate yourself further.

Best of luck with it,

Nick

How about - "you got caught, cop it?"

Did you not know the limit, not know how fast you were going? Both pretty important parts of driving around these days.

Sorry, don't mean to sound harsh but we all know that the cops are going mad with all the revenue raising at the moment, so just BE CAREFUL. Don't give them the chance to nab you.

If you want to drive fast, go to the runs one sat night...thru nasho with pete....EC track day or drags. Anywhere there are no cops around.

Write a letter Tactic. Make it contrite and include that you acknowledge what you were doing may have been wrong. All the better if you have a plausible excuse as well. You may get lucky. :uh-huh:

If they don't let you off and it was a fair cop then just bend over and take it. :shake:

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
