Seeing as its a camera find someone that you can nominate as the driver so you can at least keep your points and licence.

When wife lost hers she didnt have to hand licence in. At the end of the month she just started driving again. That was about 4 years ago though.

^^^How about taking responsibility for your own actions

You could improve the road safety in Vic by cutting up your own licence

Can someone give me the name and address of someone from overseas who was visiting Melbourne on 13 November - preferably, someone who doesn't speak any English?

I have heard that nominating dead people from another country works quite well. Marcus Einfeld was a justice of the Federal and Supreme Courts and he did it so it must be alright.

I usually get clocked doing donkey speed in a turtle zone.
It's only 1 month! Over here it's usually 3-6.

HTFU and become more situation aware... or drive/ride like you've got brain damage.

I've been there, farking bush cams and other hidden cams still get me though.
How many of those air swimmers you got left, would they be enough to take your weight?

In my experience don't you just ignore everything and just keep driving

Years ago my mate got done driving while suspended, he smashed into another car (while drunk the dumbass).

Ended up losing his licence for 18 months, insurance wouldn't pay out plus was very very lucky he didn't end up in jail. A couple of guys that day in court did go to jail, my mate had spent $2k on a good solicitor. All up it cost him around $50k in hospital fees, car repairs, legal fee's, fines & lost wage.

Please don't drive while suspended. I sound old.

Does Vic have double demerit point times?

In No Sun or Wind, when ever our rulers decide, they make double demerit point days... so if you're caught doing some ridiculously low speed but it's still over the retarded speed limit, you get double points.

Eg:
3 lane freeway: Speed limit 50kmh
Your speed: 61kmh DOGS RUN FASTER!

Half your license GONE!

Yeah, I think we do. I don't know when they are, but are probably during Easter and xmas.

With my daughter doing her license, I couldn't believe she had to do 120 hours training just to go for it - that has got to be more than a pilot.

I'm noticing all the retarded signs all over our suburb - it's close to impossible to do the right thing. If you spent your time looking at the different signs telling you what you can and can't do on the same stretch of road, while monitoring your speedometer, you would struggle to keep your eyes on what's in front of you.

Fark!!!

This morning going to work I come out of a corner on my bike, and open her up a little down a nice ~2km 4 lane (2 each direction) straight with no intersections, when a car on the other side flashes me... I'm thinking "what", then I see a green commodore parked up on the side walk in front of a house under construction, I brake to the 60kmh limit... FARKING cop in there with his gear!

Then when I'm ~1km down the cop turns his sirens on and gives chase... so I pull over and he drives by at speed... farker almost gave me a heart attack... still had his sirens on at the intersection confusing everyone.


Thank you, thank you stranger!!!

He saved what ever's left of my license after my Christmas day incident (speed cam) not sure what the speed limit was, but I was doing ~65 and it went off.

I was in possession of a Vicco Drivers, and NSW Riders permits simultaneously. At the time I was informed by a good source that it would have been hard to track both down / cancel both in those days. But I never did the wrong thing to lose either anyway.

simple buy a radar detector ..


oh wait you're in victoria aren't you :)

- was driving Melb - Geelong freeway, after new years
- was on cruise control
- had GPS in-front of me to monitor my speed as it's a fact that car's display higher speed than actual (6-7kms in my case).
- was approaching fixed camera, - checking speed on GPS = 100.
- the ****** camera goes off (saw the flash).
- Even had friend in separate car following me who witnessed all this.

- then on the way back, i drive under the speed check device installed under an overpass - again i use my GPS, and verify that the Vicroads installed speed check device matches GPS 100%. Prooving that the car shows 6-7 km more than actual speed. Yet they nab drivers who don't even speed...
- It was a over 40 degrees hot day (another factor that could have skewed the camera)... - other cameras didn't go off even though driving at the same speed...

(Haven't received fine yet, but if i do, i'm so going to court... how long is Australian Governmen going to allow Vicroads to *** innocent citezens in their arse... ****!!!!!! And that's after huge sums of tax you pay to them).... freedom and fair go my arse!!!!!

the problem is, only a small percentage of innocent victims can be bothered with all the red tape,
In the long run, with time of work to go to court, lawyers advise, etc, Its easier and cheaper just to pay the fine,
All the major players like telco's, banks, etc count on this, as its worth their while for the 90% odd that just pay up.
Like shooting fish in a barrel,

same thing happened to me, same place wrote a letter and got of, its akin to entrapment as the "speedo check" does not seem to give an accurate recording thus lulling you into an extra couple of K's, then the next camera, bingo, the Gov't must make a *hitload out of this and peoples apathy about not doing something about their situation,

The speedo check device was checked by the cops a while back and they declared it to be precise and accurate, was in the newspaper.

i just got my 3rd daughter throught her practical test with only 25 hrs of lessons over 5 weeks.
the examiner complimented her on her driving and said she was an example of why examiners should be able to decide how many logbook hrs a L plater should do.
he felt she should be able to drive solo
