*swears repeatedly*

Is that all.......:shok: come to vic and get caught speeding, that would probably be around $200 plus and 2 or 3 points. You guys got it easy.

Hi,

I think it was 8/9 points and around $850.

Cheers,
Nik

thats the 5 star safety rating put through a practical test. a pretty thorough test too by the look of it.

Lucky, lucky boy Nik.
Looks as if the bags went off. They hurt don't they, but worth it.

How do you think you may have faired without it?

I guess it serves me right for sleeping in and being half an hour late for work.... But that being said, 9 k's over the limit? Arghhh, should have been paying more attention.

Actually the worst thing about it now I think, constant annoyance from my parents.

"rah rah rah speeding fine blah blah blah speeding fine"

Biggest hypocrites, acting as if they've never had speeding fines :@.

Also on Nik's near death experience with hitting a tree.

Yes you are right, no one learns until they've reached their limits... Mine happened to be a keep left sign island.... luckily the keep left sign wasn't there. I guess another person under-estimating that particular corner?

My result, bit of a fright, huge bump and one of my hubcaps went flying off hit the gutter on the other side of the road and flew higher into the air than I thought possible... Landing in some persons backyard lol.

Lesson learned I guess. I've been a tame driver ever since.

I was a passenger in a bad accident when i was 15. My brother took me up Mt Nebo in his old Falcon and slid off the road at about 85 kmh. We went sideways into 3 trees and ended up down an embankment at least 300m from the road. I was unconscious so my brother had to walk back up the road to flag someone down. I got carried up the hill and taken to hospital, I broke my arm and cracked 2 ribs. Had I not had that smash I would have driven like a dick head I can guarantee it, but because of I will not. I completely agree with an accident being the only thing that will slow some people down, perhaps it should included in a driving test? haha
