Little lenny you are a naughty boy so gtfo please[thumbup]

**BenWired306** · 04-13-2009, 05:08 AM

Well thats his tough luck isnt it. I dont care what way you put it, its still the wrong advice and his punishment, no?

I suppose, but still there should be some sort of rule saying you can still use the car purely for working and shopping purposes only and if you get busted again then you simply lose that privilege and lose your license for another 6 months and get a bigger fine dumped on top of your already big fine.

There is a bus near a supermarket that takes me to the station. So I will drive to the supermarket. I would have to be super unlucky to get caught driving there as it's a 2 minute drive.

2 minute drive equals about a 30 minute walk which is recommended that everyone does at least once per day. I'd suggest you get exercising

. Honestly, I almost never drive if I can walk the distance only if I'm running late or actually going to work as I require my car as a delivery driver.

Also is the camera new? Sounds like you drive on the highway quite a bit so surely you must have known. And there are normally super sized signs (usually around 2-3 of them) telling you at least 1km in advanced that there is a camera up ahead making it nearly impossible to miss unless you weren't paying attention in which you become a danger to everyone around you.

Well firstly I work out at a gym 5 days a week if I can. So no need for the extra exercise. Also the road is like a country road, no foot paths and it's about 30 minute walk like you said. I just don't have that sort of time to add to my travels. Adding a bus will make things long enough. The only way I'm going to get busted is if I'm highly unlucky and the cop is a complete tool. I'd mostly be complying with the law by getting myself mostly off the road.

Secondly, I thought I knew where all the cameras were, I have never seen this one, and I've driven on the freeway many times. Even my house mate thinks there is only the 1 camera. The first thing I asked him when I moved here is where are all the cameras. So yes I do feel a bit silly getting busted by a camera I have driven past on many occasions and I still have not seen it. The only way I thought I'd get busted is by a cop in a car. With that said, I don't speed all the time so I'm not a constant lead foot hoon otherwise I would have got busted already, there really isn't much point speeding, when doing 100 will get you in/out of the city in 15 minutes.

Don't try and justify it. There is no "mostly" complying with the law. You either comply, or you break it. Walk the 30 minutes and accept the longer commute as part of your punishment. Be a man, in other words.

Completely agreed.

Sorry Lenny, but you screwed yourself over and have to face the consequences. If you do drive, I also really hope you get caught.

6 months will go by before you know it.

**secondmortgages** · 04-13-2009, 06:58 AM

I had a driving ban before I had my license...(some of you will probably remember it as I posted it here when it happened), I received for charges and a £450 fine or something like that (a lot at the time as I was only about 18). I have since learned my lesson...it's not worth it for safety reasons, financially...or for convenience, just drive safely from now on and accept you made a mistake....[thumbup]

**XzBZB2UV** · 04-13-2009, 07:03 AM

Yeah well, I broke it to mum, she took the news better than I thought. While on the phone I just realised the suspension doesn't take effect until Dec 31st! [thumbup]

Looks like I can plan a date that requires a little driving and have my xmas before it takes effect.

Ooooh.. you were just pissing your pants telling them ( mommy and girlie).
[rofl]

But do please, check where you can fight this decission. It may be possible ( at least in Dutch law) to fight back, when work/life is on the issue on this. Maybe the circumstances you have had to drive faster and at least be honest about it, may reduce your sentence ( your time of being suspended)

Just don't try to outsmart it or dude, your life could go take a wrong turn real bad and real quick if you still decide to take a spin while you are prohibited.

Australian law is very strict (and slowly becoming nanny state at that). I remember watching the News a few years ago about a women who got caught speeding at 240km/h in a car made in like the 70s. She fought the case, even went as far as getting the car professionally tested by a professional race driver to see it's top speed and it barely managed to break 120km/h.

Even after all this she was still forced to pay the fine plus costs to prove her innocents. When it comes to road rules Australia likes to @ss rape everyone. Makes me wonder why they even have sirens on cop cars. They should instead have a loud speaker which says "SURPRISE, butt sex".

**wmhardware** · 04-13-2009, 07:40 AM

Most of my 20's was a stupid, drunk, tail chasing blur. I had 2 OWIs. The first one I totaled a car when I lost it in the snow, hit a phone poll and a brick building. I was literally about 5 blocks from home. Blew a .190. 2nd, I was leaving a strip club and was driving down the wrong side of the road. Blew a .202. Then theres all the other times drunk or speeding or both that I didn't get killed or caught but should have.

Lost the license for 6 moths on the first, and one year on the 2nd, never drove one day during either suspension. On the 2nd I had just started dating a gal that thankfully did not share my same habits. She stuck through it with me because I was upfront and honest with her about it, and I decided it was time to hang that crap up and follow the rules.

We've been married now 7 years and have 2 boys. Yeah, it sucked having to get rides or walking places. But I sucked it up and did it and tried to make a good change in my life.

Follow the rules man. its only 6 months out of your young life.

**AffipgyncDync** · 05-12-2009, 08:08 AM

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).

Umm, no ya didn't. It was lost in the mail. That'd be my story.

Wow, and all the abrasiveness about how you were speeding from other members. You guys should never come to the US and drive... 90 in a 60 (roughly equivelant) is seen all the time over here, though at least in Texas, we don't have a point system where you will actually just reach that limit and then lose your liscense. Instead, we have a system where when you reach 6 points, you then have to start paying surcharges or then you will lose your liscense. They are not really that much, $100 for the 7th point and $25 for each point thereafter, plus other ticket related fees.

**XzBZB2UV** · 05-12-2009, 10:32 AM

Well I had a look at the penalty and it's 6 demerit points. It doesn't mean that the licence is suspended if you have enough points. It's just suspended because they have identified me as the driver.

I'll pay the fine and even give somene extra $ to put their name down for me and pay the fine. I just need someone that loves me enough to take the points for me.

Dude you loose your license if it's over 30kph over the limit, at least in this state.The points systems means that 6 points will be on your system for 3 years not that you don't loose your license. Also what you are talking about is against the law and that person would loose their license. Although I have heard that people were putting ads in the paper providing that exact service for lesser offences. If it's really that much of a concern for you you can appeal it in court and it might be reduced and receive a larger fine.

**Kennypor** · 05-12-2009, 01:14 PM

I haven't even gotten a ticket in 20y+ of driving.

No wait... darn I'm getting OLD.

**jPNy2BP5** · 05-12-2009, 01:53 PM

I just wanted to comment on the driving w/o a license thing. Not only can you get thrown in jail here, but your car can be impounded and that's not cheap!

**chelviweeme** · 05-12-2009, 10:43 PM

Lenny, this 2 minute drive to the station. Can't you bike there? That's like what 10 minutes?

Also, when the ban comes into effect DO NOT drive anywhere. You've cocked this up enough already, don't make it worse for yourself. The law isn't there for you to pick and choose what you adhere to.

**Muesrasrs** · 05-12-2009, 10:55 PM

Lenny, this 2 minute drive to the station. Can't you bike there? That's like what 10 minutes?

If it´s to much for him i´m gonna start thinking about calling him:

Lazy_Lenny
Lard_o_Lenny
Lethargic_Lenny
Limp_Lenny
Large_Lenny

And so on,..
I´ll come up with some good ones

Life is short. 8 minutes a day, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year is 1 and 1/3 days of your life wasted every year. After 30 years of work, that 40 days of your life wasted because you chose to ride the bike instead of driving.
