well the best part is that you got the suspension lifted so far
i cant really say anything good about cops sadly its because i know who have become policemen, and of when **** has happend to me like when the house got broken into, n other stuff stolen, the cops simply just go yeah well that happens sometimes n thats about as far as things get fixed up. ive just heard another rumour about speed cameras that most of them r being replaced like all the digital ones are geting replaced cause they cant prove that the photograph is real and has not been edited. n some of the ones with film are out of film so they will flash but nothing else will happen. |

Astro, that letter seems to be very well researched and written, a commendable effort!

Only thing missing on that letter would be the words 'Without Prejudice' on the line before 'Dear Sir/Madam'.
It limits any implied liabilities included within the letter. Else, good job. I will save a copy of that just in case.

Well its still under investigation 5 months later, but basically, it was 84 in a 60 zone (4 points and $250), a month before rally Q at a time when i had to spend every dollar on rebuilding the new rally car, so simply to have it delayed was my main goal...
BUT, having not got a speeding fine in 2 years, i then got one the following week for 1 point... Now still being a P plater i would have either lost my licence or gone on a good behaviour bond, which doesn't look good on my application to become an accredited driver trainer in 12 months, so if i can delay having to pay it till after Sep 10, when i get my opens, i should be sweet... The fact that the officer couldn't even get the suburb right left the door pretty open to have an attack, then it just kinda flowed from there! For those interested its gonna cost me about $3200 bucks to get the required qualification even just to apply, with no guarantee they'll pass it... Hopefully completing the AAMI Skilled Drivers Course and The WRX Experience within a week of getting my P plates shows i'm serious about driver training, and having a state rallying title and genuine motorsport experience should help my application... Basically you need a Cert. IV in Training and Assesment, which i'm doing through tafe atm, then you need to go up grade that to a Cert. IV in Driving Instruction, which some of the larger driving school can offer... Oh, and you need to have held your opens for 12 months... so i can't apply till i'm 21yrs and 3 days!!! Pre-license stuff would be crap i reckon, so my plan is to grow a single car driving school business around the 'GSL RallySport' branding, then sell it and move onto advanced driver training, in either my own business or someone elses... meh, we'll see how it goes!

IS there not also some rule about the spped limit not being enforceable until 200m from where the signs started for the new limit.
I recall this as it made a lot of school zones in NSW totally redundant. not sure if a resolution has been passed. My first RBT, I happily pull over all exicted about my first RBT, Knew I was fine, Anyway, IS that a en expired Rego, ?(Umm yeah the new ones at home its just around the corner) Liceanse please, Here you go, Where do you live, about 3 blocks that way, how long have you lived there, 3 months, Says here you a p plater, umm yeah. OK so what have we got here, $100 2 points no p PLates $400(ish) no current rego $400(ish) displaying old rego $200 not updating home address within two weeks of moving, FARK, your kidding. But I'll just get you for the P Plates, Dodgiest let off ever accquaintance of mine Speeding, unregoed and unroadworthy car, Partially drunk, without a license and with a Large Bag of something the cops would be interested in in the boot He got let off with a warning. FYI he would be in court or jail if they opened the boot. He told me just after I lost 6 points for 72 in 50 during double demerits, could of slapped him. shouldve And nice letter, |

Skippy: not sure about the 200m rule. Prob not, in Queensland at least.
Last time i went looking for the definition of "hooning" i found nothing in the legislations that gave the specifics of how they could fine you , and what they could fine you for. They can get you for "suspected" street racing...not even actual proven dragging off the lights...nope, just suspected street racing. Which means that every single skyline owner in brisbane probably gets booked everytime they take their car down the road to get a loaf of bread!. Not making any excuses for Ryan here (that was a little silly mate..), but the police have powers with regards to "hoons" and "street racers" that defy logic and reasoning. THAT irritates me. I've got no probs with the police doing their jobs, but when the "laws" they are asked to enforce are purely based on the point of view of delusional 70 something grandmothers who watch today tonight, it gets on my goat a little... |

Then it becomes a debate of letter of the law Vs intent of the law,
I think they write road laws so they can he as adjustable as possible, Example who was that celeb/polly got caught flying in a sportscar but got let off cause he was doing it safely in a car designed for speed. only road law I really hate is that leggally you have no right to beatup people who hit your car then drive off. Lastly a quote I think of while I am driving, Ever notice how everyone faster than you is a maniac and everyone slower is an idiot. |

the point is though, that you dont get to keep your car while you are disputing it. They can INSTANTLY confiscate your ride for 48 hours (more for multiple offences). even a slight breaking of traction (such as chirping if your foot slips off the clutch or something) could be considered hooning. Obviously none of these laws have been contested properly...but it stinks that with absolutely nothing more then a "suspision" the long arm of the law can take your car off y ou for 48 hours. |
