I had a mate in the Vic force until he left from an injury obtained from work - then they (continually) tried to pin him for something untoward that just had to happen the same time he left. Absolutely convinced of his innocence, but yeah, the way they've treated him, and me, and others (months and months after the fact), about it has me very *UNGH* about cops. But really, the only legit times I've had drama (in what I've felt was honestly unfair) was in Victoria. I mean, you don't even have to live in the bloody state to be treated like a criminal without cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I was in a MATES bog standard ECOTEC V6 I got pinged doing 130 inan 80 by a hidden speed trap, 1 month impound ($1100), $1500 fine, 6 months off the road (had all 12 points too). I didn't get a single fine/ticket in my BA turbo, got pulled up for doing 120 in a 60 but the cop didnt have his radar turned on and I luckily noticed him so was able to sit on the speed limit for a few k's before he pulled me over.

Make sure you put the valet tune in and take your xcal and take pics of the whole car before it goes in. Had a mates car come out with some new scratches and dents after a stay impound yeah I'm already super paranoid about my car. I never take it to shopping centres or big car parks, took a heap of photos of the car, inside and out, immobilised it so it will crank but not start. The impound is actually a holding yard of the towing company that picked it up. The tow truck driver told me all the cars are kept inside but id like to verify this.

Still looking into it at this stage. I'll have to wait at least 3 months until I can get my car back before I do anything. If I stay I still don't know weather to keep it or sell it.

This guy came stomping up to my car with the radar in hand to show me the speed. He was also very worked up about it. His mate that turned up two minutes later was supposedly parked on the opposite side of the road doing radar for north bound traffic. He had one of those dome thingys on the roof of his car so I'm guessing his car would have been sounding alarms when I drove past. I've had a few speeding fines in the past, over 5 years ago but still they always check your history so no point contesting it. I stuffed up fair and square and just have to face up to the consequences. It's just that the consequences suck balls. No idea what the impound fees are going to be but if your mates experience is anything to go by than I'm expecting 1000 per month plus the 2k speeding fine. that's 5k already plus the cost of a new battery that will be stuffed and the cost of a new license from the rta. Closer to 5.5k and 6 months with out a license. Seems a bit ridiculous doesn't it?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a million dollar fine, essentially. Yet you're talking about a car specifically designed to go fast. where as old mate in his bucket of sh*t $200 car with no breaks, no tread on the tyres and busted suspension is apparently "safer"...

velocityxr6t Member 122 Member For: 16y 7d Gender: Male Posted 04/02/16 09:33 AM Share Posted 04/02/16 09:33 AM 1800kg car @ 127 vs pedestrian...... it's a public road. There's no run off. Nobody is expecting a car to be coming up behind them or at them 50 kays over the limit. A little over, a squirt here and there up to around the speed limit, sure. But 47 over then act like your a victim? Lmfao. If you can't control yourself until you get it to the track to cut loose, sell it. At worst it'll save you money on fines.
