Licence & Points

[Timbo]

what do you reckon would happen if you got caught doing 176km/h in a hundred zone? any ideas? loss of licence/ jail time?

176kph in a 100 zone is automatically regarded as a LEO (Life endangering Offence), so say goodbye to your licence and have a good think about not taking for granted the simple act of bending over to pick up the soap in the shower

One time i travel from new castle to sydney on the freeway, i was following a cop car and he is doing 140 average, no siren...

one day going to Adelaide with a mate we were sitting on 150 then a cop saw us and then chucked his sirens on then did a u-turn tt chase us...my friend booted it to 180 and the cop stopped and did not chase...if its over a certain speed they cannot chase you because they can in danger other lifes as well.

Most road rules do not apply to police vehicles. They can do what they want when they want.

I got done 30ks over but less then 45 was actually over 45 but he was nice, so lost it for 3 months , went to court and the judge gave it back to me , told him I was a idiot and just made a mistake , he checked my record and said no use having a good record if it never helps you and gave it back , still lost 4 points and had to pay almost $621 and $80 to get to court. The judge told me never drive 20 k over and that the license system is designed so people loose there license once or twice in your life.

Not true - if cop car goes through speed camera/red light camera and gets clicked you have no idea what they have to go through to get out of it if they were not actually going to a job (which are all logged by police communicatons) that required that speed. It goes all the way to senior management - there are reports - interviews, etc.

GF was clicked doing 92 in a 60 zone on the way to a suspected knife attack/rape in west end but for some reason it wasn't registered as a Code 2 (lights & sirens) at police comms and it took over 6 weeks of going back and forth to get out of it without disciplinary action.

Is this something you and your mate are proud of?

True - in Qld I think once it gets to 80 or 90 in a 60 zone they must not proceed with chase no matter what. So d*******s in stolen cars will often get around baiting them.

So if your up for some fun (if life endangering fun is your thing), cover your plates and go for it

haha your joking aren't you? you can't actually see someones plate at 150...then when by the time to do the u turn...bye bye well that was about a year ago and heard nothing since.

They got video camera's in their car, so it should be fine...

My friends got caught like that and he is booked for doing 156...

what do you mean it should be fine? i don't get it...

[hkogti]

Fine to get ur number plate from the video...

The usual thing I reckon, do the crime, do the time.
And dont put crap on the cops, they are upholding the law and protecting the innocent.
No sympathies from me for people breaking the law. I wouldnt expect it if I lost my licence or got booked!
