151 past a camera .....yep your defenetly from Dunedin Not sure about that one as far as loosing it. But my apprentice boy is from down there, hes pulled that stunt that many times that he dosent worry about a licence any more down there. Up here he has mummy drive him around

Nah im pretty sure u wont lose ur licence This is because how do they know that the owner was the one riding at the time of getting the foto taken???

Its the same with demerit points, u dont get them if u were caught by a speed camera but u do get them if u were pulled over

Best way to play it safe and not speed unless its on the track (fixed for ya wikd sorry mate)

I know it used to be the case, not too sure on current laws, but anyway car drivers wouldn't get demerit pts from a speed camera, but bike riders would.

yes you will be suspended once the paper work catches up with you - it's only for 28 days from the date of the suspension notice service though, and it isn't an instant fine, it's a court appearance. if you are caught riding/driving in that 28 days, you'll be charged with driving when suspended, have your bike/car impounded, and be disqualified for 6 months

Found out today that you if you are caught doin high speeds above the limit (ie 51 above) and they get your number plate, you will get a $630 fine. BUT you could also get done for dangerous driving/riding, and we all know wat tht entails:disapint: . Best bet is too leave the excessive speed for the track days.

actually i found out today that if a speed camera catches you over 50 k over the limit its only a court appearance at the most resulting in a fine , since they cant prove it was you driving /riding,since speed cameras are not explained in the land transport act and for practical reasons they cant give a roadside license suspension of 28 days!.The 28 day suspension only applies if a driver is caught by a cop and then a court appearrance usually resulting in disqualification.i also think thats why they havnt done demerit points in cameras yet cos of identity problems,so they wouldnt have put disqualification in.

Buy a second helmet in a different colour, in case the cops come knocking.

A dangerous driving charge requires more evidence than a camera can provide, speed alone is NOT enough.

Driving more than 50km/h over the limit now falls under the categories of careless, dangerous, or reckless driving, depending on the circumstances, and now results in a mandatory 28 day licence suspension.

Demerit points are given for all speeding infringements other than speed camera offences.

But they are thinking (taking submissions) on changing the speed Camara laws so they carry demerit points and the registered owner has to explain who was driving.

Careless and dangerous charges require more than just the element of excess speed to be proven. Reckless requires the element of 'mens rea' (guilty mind). You must intend to drive dangerously, as in fleeing the cops.
The 28 day suspension is a specific roadside penalty for more than 50km/h over the limit. It is possilble to be charged with careless, for example, and not get a 28 day susupension. You may get a disqualification upon conviction though.
