Well I got a notice in the post today that I have a speeding fine and 6 months suspension of my licence. This is the penalty for going 43km over the limit (100km limit).

Bummer dude. No offence but 43km/h over is pretty big, the fine must have been big also. I'm not going to tell you off cause of this as I've done close to 100km/h over the speed limit but only in deserted areas where there are no cars, no houses and usually nothing but surrounded by trees.

If I'm on the highway I do my best to keep within 5-10km/h over or keep to the speed limit. But 43km/h [shocked]. Last time I did that was on Sydney-Newcastle freeway at like 4am in the morning so I had the road all to myself.

So who here has had this happen?

Not yet, but who knows I might get unlucky one day.

The problem I just realised is that I just read that the road cameras here can alert police to cars that are on the road that are owned by suspended drivers. Since I have to use toll ways with car registration plate detection, I probably come up on these.

Time to take another route. I don't have a toll tag thingy mabob so when I go down to Sydney which is full of toll ways I have to take the longer way around. Usually around 10-20 minutes longer but I honestly don't care. The scenery is better and I don't get stuck in a tunnel full of pollution.

I tell you what I'm cut about. I finally meet someone I like and I want to take them out... and now I get this ****.

Don't worry about it.

I just don't know how I can survive living here if I don't have a car. The only option is to move back in the city and might aswell sell the ****ing car so it doesn't cost me anything.

Dude chill out. My pops got his license suspended many times and his last one lasted 12 months. Still drove the car every single day. So long as you don't be an idiot whilst driving and get mad and speed you will be fine.

My uncle also got his license suspended and still drove it every day. Got busted again for drink driving though so he deserved the bigger fine and charges laid against him for being an idiot. But he continued driving and never got busted again until he got his license back. Then got caught speeding again. Got his license suspended but still drove carefully until he got them back.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this. You can still drive (illegally) but don't be a fricken idiot, drive safe and obey the road rules and you will be fine. I'd also forget about the camera bs as well. They won't pick you up as your car isn't stolen or unregistered or anything and your suspended license has nothing to do with your cars number plates as anyone can drive your car.

And if your really worried, just avoid all toll ways and take the long way round.
