nang3 12" member Donating Members 2,107 Member For: 19y 8m 8d Location: Perth WA Posted 21/05/07 11:49 PM Share Posted 21/05/07 11:49 PM bout a month ago I got caught doing 110 in a sixty zone, the cops were talking bout inpounding my car and sending me to court. In the end I didn't get the summons they sent me out a fine for 1000 bucks and 6 demerit points.I dnno what will happen depends if they want to make a example of you or if they are that backlogged with court they could just send you a fine, did they get a speed reading for what you were doing?They make try and do you for reckless or dangerous driving not to sure.I sympathise with you mate I learnt my lesson the hard way, hopefully they are a bit easier on you than they were mefaaaaaaark $1000 !!!!! I got done for 114 in a 70 about a year ago and got $350 and 6 points.. the points were a killer cause I got a 3 pointer a couple of weeks before doing an illegal u turn towards a servo cause I had a flat tyre... farkers even took their time so the tyre was 100% flat by the time thge paperwork was done, didnt let me drive the 30-40m to the servo to do it....I passed the attitude test with flying colours as well hahaha..

A big thanks to all the guys on here telling me to get a lawyer and get details for everything I can, it has worked out for the absoloute best.And to everyone who likes to have a bit of fun on the roads, remember theres a time and place for everything. if you're gonna do it, the middle of knowhere is a good place to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against it but wouldnt you prefer some anonyimity? And most ppl on here wont understand what SOPS are so (standard operating procedures) and your discretion applies to confiscated vehicles as it does for excessive reversing.Just for your information we don't have any discretion when it comes to confiscating cars or street racing. We must take the car and give the ticket, if we are found out not to have one of the above mentioned then we will get our ass kicked. Obviously you disagree with some of the laws within NSW but each to their own. Somebody has to do the job and if your unlucky enough to get caught then you must wear the punishment.
