dreadful1 7 Report post Posted August 16, 2011 Hey guys, I was just curious on what are the offences that you would lose demerit points? I know getting pulled over by a officer would mean some demerits off but what about say like getting pulled over and they give you a pink sticker or something like that?

dreadful1 7 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for that, yeah I saw the noise one and was thinking hmm.. what would they consider as noise haha. I'm quite surprised at the numberplate one as most people just get let off with a warning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreadful1 7 Report post Posted August 17, 2011 done nothing much wrong.. had just finished work and was heading onto the motorway on hobson st and I thought the motorway was 100 limit so i accelerated until then but since it was down a hill, might of went over abit.. next thing I see is lights flashing behind and pulled over straight away. Turns out the motorway was an 80km/h zone and apparently clocked at 118km/h so thats 38km/h over the limit and 2k off from loosing my licence... I was lucky. 50 demerits. So im guessing getting like a pink sticker doesnt mean loosing demerits although the sticker plate would lose me 25 so im putting the original on! anyone know about position of the plate it has to be in? Can I just cable tie it to my lower grill bit? I don't have a plate holder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll need to be more careful. So does 40kay on Ponsonby Road, 70kay on Newmarket over-bridge and 30kay on Queen Street. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phatputer 3 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 Now here is somthing interesting, I got hit with 20 demerit points and $150 for failure to come to a complete stop at stop sign. This one was a midnight hit, nothing on the roads bar a dozen police cars hidden in the shade crossing a single lane of traffic and I didn't let the suspension come to a complete rest. Anyway Looking at the rules, this is what I got demerits for Proceeding before the way is clear at a Stop sign The way was completely clear, it was midnight and there was nothing on the roads.. or did they give me demerits for somthing else?

E36 M 9 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 I got a warning the other day actually for having my music up too loud and there was too much bass. The officer said to me "With your music up that loud we would have to think you are a boy racer and trying to cause trouble" i just agreed with him and thought, oh yeah im a boy racer in my 1.8litre station wagon...

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 anyone know about position of the plate it has to be in? Can I just cable tie it to my lower grill bit? I don't have a plate holder. Two options * OEM m3 plate holder or * Carefully nylon fishing line the sticker off with 'desolvit' to help remove the glue .. it will take some time .. but works without damaging the paint. Use proper 3m panel tape to tape the number plate onto the bumper .. make sure both surfaces are clean. It is water proof, make sure that when you align it its how you want it else the only way you can get it back off is fishing line and desolvit again.

mrad01 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 i got pulled over by a cop when i rolled up to a stop sign, rolled back slightly before taking off. He pulled me over and said I didn't come to a complete stop. We agreed that I rolled backward slightly, but he insisted that I didn't come to a complete stop. I managed to convince him that rolling back means that a complete stop did occur. He let me off with a warning...what a muppet - basic physics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Or smarter... handbrake/neutral/foot off brake seems like a big waste of time. It'll stop you getting pinged. My driving instructor taught me to roll up to a stop sign in 3rd, so you wouldnt be tempted to keep on driving, and only chuck it back in 1st once stationary. Remembering that the whole point of a stop sign is to STOP, check that it is CLEAR, then GO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
