And killing someone because you've run into them whilst doing 45km over the speed limit can seriously affect the financial situation of their family... plus much more than that!Quote:

3 months is nothing. 12 months without a car is meant to be a deterrent.
Ahh well man, just don't get caught next time... Jesus, it's like some people have never sped before... Come and see me after you have overtaken a cop at 40km/h over, then had him apologize to you for holding you up!! Only in the NT!!
Anyway, I digress... There is plusses and minuses either way you go. IF you get your licence suspended (mind you, do they actually have evidence that you actually did it yet? Request to see the picture, then frame it!!), I'd make the decision from there. I'd cut the car away, and depending on how long you loose your licence, then re order it later.
housemate got done for 30km/h over and lost his for 6 months...Quote:

I agree ... It seems like the Op was exercising his right foot on a 4 lane highway when there was no one around. If it was in a built up area or at a peak time then I could understand the self-righteous comments condemning him, but without knowing all the details I don't think anyone should be sitting in judgement.Quote:

oh ive sped, but come on people, theres a time and place for it, its called calder park or heathcote raceway... where you wont get done.
Yeah, and we all only go to tracks to speed.... And we don't give it a boot full on the freeway on ramps... And we only buy our Golf GTI/ Golf R/ Polo GTI/ Audi S3 to only drive sedately to the speed limit, and NEVER above....
As far as I see it, the only thing he has done wrong was getting caught... Mate, you live in Victoria... Big Brother is watching you... Even I don't speed in Victoria (I drive spiritedly...)!!
if you get caught, doing the wrong thing, chin up and cop it sweet. dont complain...
That's exactly it....Quote:
