Dunno what State your in Brian...but going through a red light at even 5kph will cost you 3 points here in Victoria

[Nigel]

If we can help in some way let us know.....sad part is, it takes all modes off the grid.

Thanks Nigel, all good, enjoying not driving for a while🤓

I was referring to the total points you have when you get your licence

Actually you have no points when you get a licence. They are demerit points which means that if there is a traffic offence points are allocated against your traffic history. So having no points = good, having 12 points = bad.

[Jdbiker]

Demerit points were accumulated over a 3 year period, the red light offence took my demerit points over the limit. I made a conscious decision to go through the red or the maniac in the glass carrier would surely have gone up my rear , as he had been tailgating me for a while. I had elected to have my demerit point period extended by 6 months providing I didn't get any further demerits within that period, however as luck would have it I was pinged doing 80 in a 40 work zone, which meant immediate suspension of license. I have sought a review of this one with civic compliance as the signage was confusing. I do not support speeding or breaking traffic rules in any form, but unless I drive like a nana I am finding it increasingly difficult to avoid these low level speeding fines (traps).
Cheers all, and ride and drive safe🤓

Fair point Brian

Unfortunately here in Victoria most minor traffic offences will cost 3 point on each occasion, its truly is just revenue raising. And anyone who believes that reducing speed to the 1900's limits will reduce the death road toll to zero, are passing urine through an enlarged prostate uphill and into a cat.5 cyclone and hoping not to get their feet wet!

Cheers the can :-)

[Brian]

I think we can all relate to a few times we've been done in what any fair minded person would consider a revenue raising action.....I could name two from my riding/driving experience. The fine and points are quickly forgotten only the injustice gnaws away years on.

Take a look at my "Impossible corner" post and you might wonder about lots of things. How it's even possible to do such a thing at the angle and speed of a right angle (90 degree right turn)

More grief , wife's car got rear ended on Eastlink, luckily it's still drivable 🤓

Is that it!? The little ding on the bottom chrome piece?  It should be drivable!

Could have been much worse, happened at freeway speed , perpetrator, a Mazda 3 had to be towed with crumpled front end and busted radiator.

Ah- that explains it!  A Mazda running into a Toyota will always come off second best.

In my humble opinion Mazda drivers have taken over from where the hat wearing (or hat on the rear parcel shelf) volvo drivers left off.  There is no safe space on the road near them, extreme distance is the only way they can not get you

Oi

I have 3 Mazdas..  a 2 for the Wife, a 3 for the Daughter (+partner and two kids) and I have a BT50. None of drive with hats, or like Volvo drivers.

Club members would be the exception to the rule of course

Out n about on the weekend we found ourselves having a latte in oxford st Bullimba, when the idea 💡 hit me.....I should get a bowls hat for the rear deck of the latte cruiser 🐴😂😂😂
