370 Related Fines..

Majestik · 10-23-2009, 05:06 AM

I've had a run of badluck recently and have incurred to fines in the past month

Both are 67 in a 60 zone. Luckily I'm disputing as 1 was to avoid having an accident and the other there is no speed limit sign where they got me.

Just curious, but has anyone else found that driving the speed limit in our cars is an impossibility??

its just your heavy right foot

when i was moving my 18" Z riims, they punished me and i rolled my ankle. it took 3 months to heal....

I find the position of the speedo makes it hard to track the speed. I seem to just be watching the rpm.

I've also find the speed to be very decieving

I can't believe your Aussie cops are so petty...67 in a 60? No cop in the US would do that unless he/she was having a really REALLY bad day. Damn that sux!

Thats nothing lol, we get done if we do 63 in a 60 zone... I think even 2kms over now is a fine...

It is hard to keep the car at 70 though, everytime i look at the speedo it has crept over to about 75-80.. haven't had a fine yet though... touch wood lol

Ahahahaha I don't need reasons these days, I see wood, I touch lol

Mr Ed · 10-23-2009, 08:08 PM

you must have been speeding, cos if you got done at 67, you would have been doing at least 70 something on the Z due to the speedo inaccuracy (ie overstating speed)

OMG 70km/h!!! How dangerous! Send him to prison and confiscate his car, criminal!

Until a few weeks back I hadn't been stopped for speeding in over 20yrs. Nuff said.
