Speed Dangerous

Hey, anyone know the going penalties , ( disquifacation / fine ) for speed
dangerous 100 in a 60 for South Australia. Got done yesterday during a
moment of stupidity..............

 

40 over ?
ouch.. same as federal isn't it ?
( fine and some time walking ?)

 

100 in a 60?. Been riding long? At those speeds you won't be. You deserve to
be walking. No wonder the rest of us get hassled. Wake up, slow down and
maybe you (and the person you hit) will live a bit longer. Sheer idiocy.

 

money and about 3 months of walking, maybe 6 here in nsw

generally its 3 months 30-45
and 45 over is 6 months

 

It is stupid if its in a highly populated city area but allot of small
country towns do go overboard with the speed signs until you get 5 kms out
of town and its 60 all the way with no reason, my home town has done it FFS
which makes it totally understandable for me

At a guess you ride a Harley or some kind of touring or classic bike and
ride every weekend with the old farts club (Bring on the flames)

 

What an utterly crap statement Yub, we all know that a Harley can't do
a 100!

beer?

 

Another sucker buys into the propaganda...

I get up to 60-80 above the speed limit most days and I've been riding for
close to two decades. I don't say this to be a he-man, just to highlight the
fact that speed limits are mostly irrelevant when it comes to road safety.

 

$80 fine, 1.5 demerit points and no licence suspension.

Looks like 4 points and $343+.

See the web page

I thought 30km/h+ over was at least 3 month licence suspension Australia
wide. I think you are pretty lucky to get away without a suspension.

Hmmm, I remember, back in my miss-spent middle age, when I tried to top
the old, imperial ton, every morning on my way to work.

This was riding Kwakas, GT750 and Turbo 750, on a commute from Marsfield
to down town Sydney.

Looking back now, I realise how lucky I was to survive.

May I wish you all the luck that you too may survive to see your fourth
decade of riding.

Tell me you're kidding? Now correct me if I'm wrong, but here in QLD,
40k's over nets you around a $700 fine, 8 points, and 6 months of bus
trips.

Checking the SA Police website, they even put up a list of where all
the speed cameras are for that day. Amazing - using a speed camera as
an actual, pre-emptive speed deterrent device???

Sheesh - I'm moving to SA! How's the weather down there?

Where does it say he hit someone?

Thought he just got booked......................

 

Bzzzt! Wrong. Fort you was a copper?

In NSW +30 but less than 45 over = $575 and 1 month suspension (DAMHIK,
stupid RZ500, it was only doing 6,000rpm too...)

+45 = $1550 and 6 months suspension

 

I remember when it was legal. On the way to hospital when my youngest was
being born (I was alone in the car coming from a country town) passing a GT
Falcon at 95 mph in a Type 3 VW. He did look surprised. I got to the
hospital for the birth with three minutes to spare.

Who was young and stupid once, now no longer young.

 

I just wanted the OP to read something positive rather than the awful truth
that everyone else was going to give him... and like him, I couldn't be
bothered to google an answer from a reliable source either

Well that's fair enuf then - who am I to stand in the way of a little
blissful fantasy world! I'm off to Qantas to cancel my flights.

05 Sprint ST - which is going to stay up here in the nice warm weather!

 

check your books

They also just took out the over 130kph = 1 month suspension because cops
went smart enough to calculate

You also get tickets, although 45 over you could face a dangerous driving
charge.

 

that was only for freeways @ 110

C'mon mate, it's "lots fo tickets"

 

Books? I don't need no stinkin' books. That info was told to me by
one of your mobile tax collector mates on Sunday afternoon. Radar
detected 146, ticket written for +30 but less than +45. He said I'll
be walking[1] for a month.

Ash.

[1]Country town so no public transport to speak of. I'll probably be
on two wheels still, but pedal powered (if it doesn't kill me anyway).

 

Much safer when your walking!
