Only in WA

And Tas too...I think you get booked for the use of a "radar calculation device" or something.

It would be cool to have one tho, like on the gumball movies.

This guy i know got clocked at 200km/h in a 50 zone. Had to sell his VS 355 Stroker to pay the fine. Whats worse he was over the limit aswell.... Think he lost his license for 2 years.

Well i got caught late last year in a 60zone doing 182km coz i just got my stage3 shift kit in the vlt and coped the worst fines $1200 and -8 demerit points i lost them for 1yr&1/2 and still waitn :P~~~~ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If you invest in a decent one they have stealth mode and are basically undetectable. Nothings 100% though. How many of you guys worry about whats legal when your modifying your vehicle. eg Rims too big, too low, blow off valve, bigger turbos, plenums, ecus, cams coolers you get my point. Just by running a pod filter with no box can get you a $1000 fine from the epa. (Yes im sure) I know most of you will fail any form of emmission testing too. I personally cant put a price on my licence. Id rather run the risk of a fine for a radar detector then get caught doing 180ks, making the papers,losing my job and losing my licence. I just dont see why you guys are worried about is it legall when we all drive the most popular vehicle for illegall modifications which is also the most hunted by the police, The allmighty vl turbo. But this is my own opinion, to each his own i suppose.

some one help me with this one, i was driving on hume higway inbetween goulburn and sysdney, and got pulled over doing 15k's over on sunday by sydney cops, and aparently it was double demerits so i copped 6 points and a canery, some ppl tell me that the canery dont mean sh1t in melb coz its a nsw canery, but what about the point, do they go?

im sure they have someone form each state that sends info to the correct state to make sure the fine goes through!

My dad (from WA) rode his Kawasaki over to Melb a couple of years ago for the MotoGP's and got flashed as 3km over the limit, so Vic Roads or watever you call them sent him a fine (to Perth) for $150 and I think 1 point!!!

Yeah DasBlitz thank young Bracksy's "Zero tolerance" crap for that. It's all pure revenue raising, but whats the money being spent on?, definetely not roads!!! I almost lost my VN in a pothole the other day.

Heres one for ya! 6 Points $1394 fine. It was about 4 years ago now, cos i got my 6 points back last year! I was in my BMW 323i E30 Coupe.. 18" Works Wheels - back when 18's were Bling Bling! Long story short - 3 cars, Me - my mate - some random. Lights go green and my mate and the random take off.. Typical Trafic Light Wars.. I wasn't gonna race cos it was Friday night, heading into the city, and didn't feel like strapping the small 6 banger.. But I wasn't going to get left behind either.. anyways, about 1 k down the road (sorta hilly road) I could only just see the tail lights of the two cars in front... Then i saw the flashing lights coming up behind me.. and i glanced down - yep, I was doing about 130ish in an 80... The cops flew straight past me! Blah Blah Blah... The cops pulled over the Random, and my mate tried to do the runner, but a cop jumped out of the copcar and stopped the random while the other copper gave chase to my mate.. Me? Well coming down the hill, i see a copper on foot - he's not gonna stop me! So i turned left and followed the cop car! Just up infront - he pulled over my mate! So i took a right turn just before I reached them! And did the runner!! 2 weeks later, I got stopped at a random breath test & RTA setup... I denied everything for about 15 minutes.. then when he said, "your gonna have to follow us down to the station where your going to have to report exactly where you and this car was on the night in question.. and if found guilty, we will not only get you for speeding, we will get you for Racing, Wreckless Driving, Evading Police and Lying to the Police... " "Ill give you one more chance" and i cracked! DOH!! Back then the beemer stood out like dogs balls.. It was dark blue, with black tint, chrome bumpers & window surrounds, big chrome wheels.. very pimp! so yeah, the cop said they had been looking for me for the past 2 weeks! Next time - Ill stick to my guns and keep my mouth shut! They couldn't have proven Shit! oh, and then to top it off, The cop said id get the fine in the mail... I said Can I Go?? And he said "I think the RTA want a word with you!" DEFECT for the Tint, Steering Wheel (Billet - too shiny??) and the wheels to big.. In a way its good.. cos after paying a $1400 fine, now when I get a $150 it seems like nothing! lol... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hugofirst - tsk tsk tsk.

Lol, i should, but like Aus880 said its a waste of the courts time and i know what its like to have to take a full day off work just to attend court. I'm only interested in getting off the fines. Fair enough if i get caught speeding i'll be the first to admit it. But the fact that i knew i wasn't speeding really pissed me off! In regards to Vlred's comment, i have already calibrated my speedo with a brand new commodore - 60 = 65km - 70 = 80km - 85 = 100km approx.

Got done this afternoon for the first time. In a school zone, school had finished an hour ago and i went through there cause it was deserted at 65km/h. Cop was there behind a parked car and got me. 3 points i have lost (i'm on my P's) and i got a $203 fine. Not nice

Thats school zones for ya, unlucky though mate.

School zones are very sketch, and cop disgression is even more sketch these days. I think my speeding fine history is rather bland compared to some of the other members' here though!

Quote: Also was doing 160km in a 70 zone Quote: i got done 170 in 70 in darwin near lakeside drive got off spot free!!! How the **** can you get off for these. Anywhere in vic and u'd prob be thrown in jail.
