I was done for speeding (quite excessively- wot for 4 secs from 40kmh rolling start) and lost mine for 12 months.that is sa which is tough on speeders, but I had no priors, good character references, and need my car to run my business (im a tradey).dont waste time with lawyers- they tell you want you want to hear and you get the same sentence anyway- just with less money in your pocket.look if you speed then you deserve the penalty, no ways about it. the fact that you have no priors may make a difference and shows that your an all round good guy on the street (like me) may sway them to give you the benefit of the doubt. I hope so mate. I have had my licence back now for nearly 2 months and never want to go there again. it was a tough year.whatever happens, learn from your mistake and think twice about your speed always.good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falky100 Donating Members 305 Member For: 13y 18d Gender: Male Posted 14/12/12 12:22 PM Share Posted 14/12/12 12:22 PM (edited) Isnt over 30km classed as high range (I may be wrong)I got done doing 147 in a 100 zone about 3.5 years ago on my reds and got 6 month loss of licence plus an rta notice saying no more points u get an extra 3 months. I appealed the extra 3 months, got sent to schooner school and after the course I got "let off" with only having to do 1 month extra. Good luck with it all, sometimes if u get the wrong cop they can be a complete ass.P.s I live in NSW Edited 14/12/12 12:23 PM by Falky100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often think of that. sobering isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 3m 24d Gender: Male Posted 14/12/12 09:19 PM Share Posted 14/12/12 09:19 PM (edited) You were travelling 30kms+ over the speed limit... I think you should just cop it on the chin, do 3 hard months and I assure you it won't happen again. Yes I speed no doubt, 30km/h? No way and I have over 10 years of driving hypo cars with a clean record to my credit. I'm not saying I wouldn't try and do the same if I was I'm your position but take a bit of time to think about what could have happened.Good luck!P.s sorry to be an ass I'm just very frustrated with seeing people die and watching the screws get tightened on us car enthusiasts because of incidents like this.

I often think of that. sobering isnt it?Im not saying I wasnt in the wrong panda. Because its true, I was an absolute idiot and now I look back and think if something went wrong it could have ended in tradgedy. I probably deserved the 7 months and $1700 fine to go with it. One thing for sure is when you losr your licence, you know your never going to do it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you had have killed her, then you would have had to worry more than about your licence.Stop making excuses... 30km/h over is not an accident. You were obviously being a dickhead... Now pay for it and learn from it.Just because you have a clean driving record doesn't mean you don't drive like a dickhead regularly. It just means you may have been lucky! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
