sorry yeah your right, i confused suspension period with demerit points. Once the points are there magistrate cant do anything.

not sure if anyone has mentioned this but im pretty sure you shouldnt have gotten done as there was no proof as to you speeding there for they can not claim you were doing that speed limit. yes they may have seen there speedo and saw how fast they were going to get to you but unless they took a photo of there speedo at the time they got you then you shouldnt have got done. reason i point this out as it happened to a mate and they let him off as they didnt have proof at all.

sinseven, if that was the case, then we may as well all speed. I think you're missing the point here though, that is - to reduce your speed so you don't lose control, crash and die.

I personally have never done 190. I've done 160 but that was on a straight freeway in the middle of nowhere, only for around 4 seconds . But the necessity of having a license in Australia is far too great.

Eitherway, just cop it, learn from your experience and be grateful nothing worse came out of this

SiReal- by all means i am not trying to say that we all should speed. just leave it to the track. all im saying is he had a case of not being done but he has and the fact this is happening is all his fault which no doubt he already knows that lol

curiously, what were you driving?

Um. You seem to have absolutely no idea at all of how speeding fines work. A photo of their speedo? Really?

Bad advice. The best OP could get is a reduced fine. The mandatory suspension period for this offence is 6 months. The magistrate cannot reduce the suspension period below this.

**Bludger** · 24-09-2010 01:37 PM

OP - you're an adult now, not a minor/child.

children don't have the experience or maturity to make their own decisions. Thats why there are parents or guardians to make the important decisions for you.
As an adult you have on your own accord decided to get your own license.
On your own will you have gone out in public and decided to speed 170+ km/h in a 70km/h zone? wtf.....

please don't bother us with your consequences that have stemmed from your stupid decisions.
Questions like do i have to go to court, do i have to pay fines, how much fines do i have to pay, can i get off on paying...... etc, etc.

your decisions could have seriously injured or more likely killed someone. ruined the life's of their loved ones.

in my opinion you deserve to never drive again.
you should serve jail time.

piss off dickhead
