140+... mate got done

**madboy** · 31st January 2006, 12:34

If I was up for a 140+ round up I'd have a strong preference for it being on a bike. Cos I don't think my 2.0 n/a Primera stationwagon with CVT box would be able to help me out quite as well as my 118hp bike

You can say 4wds understeer. All current straight from the factory models understeer heaps. S4's, Evo's, WRX's. Beauty is though, give them the Scandinavian flick before entering a corner and you can drift the buggers right through.....not necessarily the quickest way but definately the coolest

Anyway, bugger, like postie said. At least he can afford the fine.

Actually he works his butt off to support a wife and 3 kids , he is now in the dog-box and there is a good chance he may be forced to sell... wifey ain't impressed!

But anyways, I thought he was lucky not to have it impounded...
I was just curious to hear if anyone else has had a similar exprience... or knows of anyone who has lost their licence/ had their bike/car taken off them...

Don't know anyone yet buellbabe, i'm sure it won't be long before we all have heard of people losing their licence.

Buellbabe, it sounds like your mate got the straight law, and nothing else, from what you tell us...

I've lost the licence once for exceeding the limit by 50km/h, and the second time doing a similar thing got to keep it 'cos the cop was a decent dude and decided that it would make more sense to just do me for 149km/h (save time in court, not leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere at 9pm on a Sunday night, etc.).

Lessons learnt:
In case 1: faster bikes can save you money in some cases.
In case 2: always check your mirrors after blasting from an on-ramp to the totally empty motorway.

A local Taranaki businessman had his late model Mercedes impounded in the King Country under the boy racer legislation, for the heinous crime of "sustained loss of traction".

He was highly put out as he is the head of the local Chamber of Commerce or some such and is I guess in his fifties. I don't favour one law for the rich and one for the poor (I will acknowledge that it exists but I don't like it) but there is no way this guy would be identified by most people as a "boy racer" .

Ducatilovers dad got done a week or two ago.

Who cares they are euro shitters anyway, not like a proper japenese car.

Unless the new legislation has come into play you won't lose your licence for 40 over only 50 over.

And you CAN afford the fine, you can just pay it off over time, thats what I always do.

Somone who works their butt off JUST to support his wife and kids isn't going to have a flash car like a bloody expensive euro shitter RS6 and you say it's the factory race car version, this gives me the idea of big dollars, the person who works there arse off to support the wife and kids is going to have a normal garden variety corolla or somthing.

I've never been pulled over on my bike (maybe cos it's a honda CG), but I've been pulled over in my 'boy racer' car many times.

It has, Jan 16 if I remember correctly. 50 over still applies for temporary speed reductions, like roadworks etc.

So define "roadworks". Is that where there is a 50k sign on the open road, a couple of pieces of gravel and no road workers to be seen?

It's still german though. Italian cars are ALWAYS more fun than german cars, cos they're madder...Even a Fiat Panda is more fun than a Porche. (Pandas are wicked...)
