[pyrocam]

Waaaaa

I just now (5mins ago) got pulled over for the first time.

88k in a 50k zone
$400 fine
50 Demerit points.

"would you believe I was drying the paint?"

I overtook a plaincar cop hah!

But he was quite friendly, didnt bust me for no L plate on (although I did have one in my back pack 'to put on when I got home' and an expired rego (20 days)

WAAAAA 50 DEPERIT POINTS!!!!

Im a NOOB too, ive only been riding since December 2003...

yes that was my sig, and im not going to bullshit you, ive done some crazy speeds on the road (including seeing the high side of 260kmh on the speedo a few times) On the open road i ride very quickly... but in residential i keep my speed right down, higher risk of crashing etc, and i would fell pretty gutted to hit a little kid coming out of a driveway...

Demerits last 2 years, you have 28 days to pay, then you get a letter saying you have another 28 days to pay... so you will be sweet...

Um, sorry to let you know this... on an L plate and if the computer is doing its job they will also get you for breaking the conditions of your learner license, another $400, six months on to your restricted time and MORE demerits (can't remeber how many)

2 years for the points...

Historically I thought you got a reminder notice 28 days after the ticket and then another 28 days to pay... Is it still like this ?

No you will only get the fine if it is issued by the Police officer at the time, OR is followed up by the Police officer at a later date...

The Penalties are: $400, 25 Demerits and thats it... No extra time is added to your restricted time though...

Rilly?

I got done for speeding on SH1 (*adjusted* to 85 by a very kind ossifer), but haven't heard anything about extra fine/points yet. In fact, when I went into infringements to pay, they couldn't even find my 'bad' on the system. Told me to come back when/if I got a letter...
So, if this failsafe 'puter is going to do me for infringing the conditions of my L plate, why wouldn't the cop have mentioned it... I haven't heard anything yet either... eeeeek.

Gutttd abou the ticket m8!!

if he didn't ticket you then and there they can't add to the charges as they wish!! consider yourself lucky he didn't throw the book at you but the police too know the dangers of riding with an L plate!! its just scary!! i never wear mine and the times i have been stopped it was never mentioned....... warnings for careless maybe..........


oh and if you do get the ticket for "breeching learner license conditions" -2 charges, over 70 km and the L plate..... looking at $1200......... but it does not add to how long you have to wait for restricted..... unless the CBTA guys are really harsh, you could still sit it after 4 months on L's

oh thank god.
another 25 points would be too much to handle.

I have got some pics of my bike v.shortly after I got pulled over now.
maybe the blue means Im more likely to get pulled over. damn should have left it purple.

I just did this today btw


Spud. can you like. I dunno. talk him out of it?
no I didnt think so

[MD]

Full credit all you people persevering to get a bike licence. Sounds like the whole world of bureaucracy is scheming to put you off riding a bike. Shame about the ticket - but it was residential so take it easy and wait until you can enjoy giving it full noise on open country roads.

Nope he wont get in trouble for the L plates, I never have - had 2 or 3 tickets now

Got a rego/warrent check and he didnt mind, I had trouble convincing him my bike was a 250 though

Anyway dont worry take your time paying back or do the 10$ payments it just pisses them off more lol.

[Indiana_Jones]

I've done some stupid speeding before, But a close few calls has slowed me down to 60kph........Come on, who does 50?
