cainchapman 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 I generally have 1 ticket on my licence at all times. As I don't concentrate as hard on cops hiding in the bushes when I don't have to worry about losing my licence. But I also drive more sensibly in my old age.

*RJ* 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) It's just coming up 2 years since my last fine. 1st fine 35pts ($170) - 124km/h on the motorway, thankfully this was a slightly slower speed than what I had been doing. Reason for stupidity: I had gone away for a weekend with the mrs and her parents called wanting her home asap - I was obliging and got nailed for it. Funnily enough this Mrs was telling me off, she tried racing a Comodoore the next week and it was a plain clothes cop. 2nd fine 20pts ($120) - 71km/h in a 50km/h. I had just got the exhaust put on my Prelude, went round a corner in Mt Eden and put my foot down to hear it. It was 7:30am on a Saturday morning and the officer was sitting outside a resthome of all places. I said I knew I was in the wrong but why on earth was he sitting there - residents had complained they couldn't cross the road to get to the dairy safely. Both those fines were in my 1986 2.0 Prelude. After that I had a 91 2.2 VTEC and left my speeding to the track at Meremere and I had one hell of a time down there. Now just about back to 0 demerits.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 stupidst thing iv probly done Only probably ?Good luck with being a changed man but there is no excuse for drink driving. I got a ticket the first week I was back in the country. Id spent the previous weeks hooning around Europe in the 740. 120 mph in France trying to get back for the eurotunnel that we were late for :mosh: Got here a week later and bought a Legacy GT-b wagon. Was trying my best to remember its only 100 kmh and got snapped by a camera doing 111 kmh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 I currently have none (haven't had any for a few years), but I did have to sit on 95 for a fairly long time. But a big chunk of them came in one incident where I got caught exceeding the speed limit by some margin. Interestingly I have never had a fine in my BMW and have had in for nearly 6 years. All of my fines were in my old Honda Prelude and Honda Civic. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No demerits yet, new driver though so I expect to have at least some before long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaM 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2005 yeah that sucks so hard, sooo many people do that at passing lanes, and end up only just getting past, after the car they're overtaking slows down for them, then they slow down after the passing lane. :gay: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They actually expect that you pass at bang on 100 and assume the vehicle you are passing is going 70. I have always been under the impression (and by that I mean I read it in the road code rather than a mate of a mate who has a sister that married to some pimp who knows someone) that you are allowed to go over 100kph in the act of overtaking as long as you return to 100kph when you have passed.Obviously the normal rules apply, road is clean, weather is good, have a clear 100m to overtake and all that jazz. Passing lanes are my biggest peeve about NZ drivers. They drive all day long at 80 then hit 110 when it becomes two lanes :rambo: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
