>Go 85 km in an 80 zone>Get a $500 fine Why speeding fines so much higher in Australia than other countries?
>>28836976SPEEDING KILLS. 9 OUT OF 10 ROAD FATALITIES INVOLVE SPEEDING.SPEEDING KILLS. STOP IT...OR COP IT
Because Australia is a gay nanny state run by people who are deadset on micromanaging and banning anything fun.
Prison convict island.
>>28836981/threadthe word "politics" are taboo to even mention in passing with normgroids so the """intellectuals""" that do care slip through the cracks with no competition up the ranks until they can take out their years of being bullied back out on the populace.

>>28836976SA?
>>28836981When has Australia become like this?
>>28836976Good thing everyone uses waze now.
>>28837316Government introduces a new set of speed cameras, they get voted in again in a landslide victory. Don't ever let anyone tell you that Australians aren't dumb cunts.
>>28837316Since like the 90s but its been a long time cominghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercar_scareIs that... poor people being able to drive fast cars?? NOOO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING ONLY US PORSCHE DRIVERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS IM GOING INSANE BAN IT
>>28837448It has always and everywhere been like this.As soon as poorfags were universally able to afford cars (at least in the west) retarded elites went all in on anti-car rhetoric and 15-minute cities.Classism and status signalling are alive and well.
>>28837316It has always been like that, you just weren't paying attention
>>28836976They have way too much freewill, Jews don't like it. They are trying to neuter the entire country.
>>28836976>5 overNah, not for that little. You only start seeing shit when it's 10 over.
>>28837245SA is the most hardcore state on speeding, QLD and VIC are really tame in comparison. I knew a guy here in SA that went 20 over and lost his license for a full year and got a pretty big fine (P2s so it was real fucking bad).Going 40 over in SA is an $1800 fine but in VIC it's $850. A lot of people seem to think SA has such high fines because it basically funds the road maintenance budget, and I guess I'm not too against bogans paying to fix all the potholes kek.
I wish NZ would copy the phone-use-while-driving cameras and fines.
>>28838619>funds the road maintenance budget, and I guess I'm not too against bogans paying to fix all the potholes kek.SA roads get 2.9% of state spending but literally everyone else spends ~5.2% and it fucking shows. I can't wait to get out of this shithole. Remember when they made a big deal of supercar owners having to do an extra license, but it turned out to just be an online test for a few hundred $. Literally any opportunity SA govt has to make a quick buck they'll take.Funny how VIC gets alot of shit but the nickel and diming nanny state cunts just over the border never get a peep.
>>28838747Yeah it's really weird how people give VIC shit but don't actually realize SA is a lot worse in pretty much every way. I really love cruising around the hills and all that shit but I loathe how much things cost here and I'm absolutely hating the Main South Road "upgrade" with that pile of unfinished spaghetti interchange that's around Tonsley. How many years has that shit been going on for now? A decade at this point? Fuck knows when it will be done. I've got an upcoming trip to the Victorian Alps with some mates soon and I can't fucking wait, those mountains and windy roads in the forests look sick. Just sucks that I have to drive 10 hours to get there lol.
>>28838747SA has a high powered vehicle license
>>28838754>>28838747>>28838619vic is worse for modded vehicles i think the cops harass people pretty hard
>>28838754They lowered the speed limit on all the roads around the Victorian Alps from 100kmh to 60-80kmh recently
>>28838779Can't say I have ever been pulled over in my car for anything other than cops checking to see if it was stolen and the same goes for my previous car
>>2883878080 is still fast for those roads, it's got more hairpins and sharp turns than the Adelaide Hills (which are also dropping limits everywhere lately anyway). Even the road near my place dropped to 80kph only 3 years ago after being 100kph for the whole time I'd lived there.
>>28838786As someone who has been riding those roads for 15 years it is a disgusting development. Bad enough that they have camo dudes on those roads in the trees to catch you doing 125kmh but now its 105kmh and bye job? Fuck these dogs. Small towns only put up with corrupt cops for so long before the city cop gets run out of town anyway.
>>28838786lowering the limit is still dumb because the average person will still drive at the speed he or she feels most comfortable at. It just makes it so much easier to pass slower traffic if you're in an objectively better car, or you're much more familiar with the limits of your car.>>28838794>Small towns only put up with corrupt cops for so long before the city cop gets run out of town anyway.lol does this actually happen? satisfying if true
>>28838811Mirboo North in Gippsland famously had a Melbourne cop who moved into town and was fining people for doing a u turn in the main street which is double white lines and after a month had about 30 people turn up on his doorstep t 3am saying it might be best if he leaves town and he did.
>>28838813fucking lol, nice
>>28838814Still a great town, has i think 3 cops for 1500 white people. Clearly in need of some multiculturalism
>>28838818you in need of sum cultural enrichment, son?
>>28838818>>28838821say no more goy-uhh friend. we'll relocate those indians building indians homes to Mirboo North, plenty of space for everyone and we can all just get along and sing kumbaya
>>28838747>everyone else spends ~5.2% and it fucking showswhat r u talkin aboot, I drove from Adelaide to Sydney last year via Nerrandera and Bathurst, honesly don't know how my car survived without falling to pieces.I've driven on outback dirt highways that were less jarring than country NSW black top. VIC not much better, single lane of black top with half a lane of dirt on either side, when there's oncoming traffic you have to go half onto the dirt. Get across the border into SA and everything magically gets smoother again...
Don't care I do 170+ up dirt fuck highways NZ is even worse despite being 10x smaller
>>28838828i'm talking about metro roads, the feds fund national highways
>>28838840Victoria has end speed limit signs at the start of most dirt roads. It is a cheeky little secret
>>28836976Nanny state and criminal state are two sides to the same coin.
>>28838794>Bad enough that they have camo dudes on those roads in the trees to catch youKek no they don't, it's too rural and widespread for that use of resources. Quit being hyperbolic.Source: worked in emergency services and could see where every single car in the state was at all times. Getting an ambulance out there is also a pain, I remember some motorcycle rider was a pile of gore for almost 2 hours and the other person just had to sit and wait for help as both police and ambulance stations are so far away.
>>28838828>country NSW and VICWhat did you expect though? The only things using those roads are 4x4s with offroad tyres and trucks, which are both hell on roads. Taking outback roads and not the highway is a bad choice for long distance driving anyway.>Get across the border into SA and everything magically gets smoother again...Not really, I had to dodge a giant pothole in the hills for over a year before it finally got filled in. And then it just opened up again as soon as winter hit. You've just got bias for your home and that's okay but let's not pretend SA isn't a hell on earth for driving these days, I love living here but the reduced limits in the hills and those mega potholes that can eat a wheel are no fucking joke. Shit starts getting real bad when you branch out to places like Murray Bridge or Port Lincoln.
By comparison WA is very mild.1 penalty unit is $50. I've never seen anyone getting a fine for 4-5 over here.
>>28839819unfortunately it means having to live in WA though
>>28839819Holy shit man I live in the states and was caught going 24mph over (40km/h) and my total fine was $300 because I opted to pay an extra 100 something to attend online traffic school so there would be zero points. They'd ruin my fuckin life over there lmao
>>28839852It's all state dependent. If you did the same thing in Victoria, it would be about $600USD. People bitch about Victoria and call it the nanny state but they have the lowest fines for driving related shit in the country.However, what's stranger is if you went 25km over the limit in a 110km zone, the fine is only $280USD.
>>28839662Lol lmao even its all to fine motorbike riders, 2 cops up a tree in camo getting speeds and 2 or more hwp sitting up the road ready to book you. Every nice day on the weekend the camp dudes are out. All this effort to stop speeding and a fucking deposit bin to stop sword fights.
>>28840182you may actually be schizo bro, cops aren't hiding in the trees dressed camouflage in the middle of nowhere
>>28840185Yeah they are on popular roads.Next you will tell me dirt bike cops hooning around on brand new ktms for no reason other than fining people for no rego/license aren't real.
>>28840188>cops on dirt bikes hooning aroundyou might be too far gone man
>>28840185I wish cars were still pretty like this.
>>28840182>>28840188Based schizoposter.>>28840191Boxy might make a comeback if we're lucky since it seems like people are getting tired of angry face cars.
love how ausses are always like "wow m8 wish they made cars loik thees agin" and you look at the car they're talking about and it's some fucking elongated 1992 mercury topaz with the steering wheel on the wrong side and the engine out of a sailboat
>>28840190Oh you city boys all think im joking
>>28840198Sailboats use 4L V8s now?
>>28840201Any good sail boat has an ls1 rigged up as an outboard motor
>>28840201>4L V8s nowthe inline six was the 4L but the V8 was 5L. very impressive if a sailboat was loaded up with a 5L V8 kek.
>>28840202So what you're saying is that Corvettes and Camaros use sailboat engines? Interesting.
>>28840207Considering the engine is put in boats on the road it is the logical next step to put the engine where it belongs.
>>28840198Yes, because that's based.
>>28836976You dont get fined for doing 85 in an 80 zone, if you were fined for doing 85 then you were clocked at around 89.8kmh over in a 100 zone gets you a fine for 1047kmh over in an 80 zone is a fine For 84 6kmh over in a 60 zone is a fine for 64 Do you see the pattern? T. I drive 200+ km a day and have speeding down to an art because 5 minutes a day adds up to an entire day each year wasted in traffic.

>>28836976Richard Pusey was right about cops.It was fucking justice.If only they could have saved their little computah.
>>28840353That didn't happen though, anon. All we had was hotel quarantine and that was for if you'd been through an airport, vaxx or no vaxx. I enjoyed having a few paid weeks off work and getting hotel food all day every day kek.
>>28840191I wouldn't call it pretty, but I'd certainly call it preferable
>>28840198Bro this looks absolutely nothing like the Ford Fairlane.
>>28840185>>28840198>>28841221it looks more like it exists between the late 80s crown vic and the 1992 crown vic (pic related) but just more boxy
>>28841209which hotel did they put you in? how was the food?
>>28841209No, you also had people who crossed state lines who were required to stay in a hotel at their own cost for 2 weeks. You were not supposed to leave under threat of heavy fines or jail. No more gaslighting, I've saved the webpages for this and took screenshots.>>28839868VIc has high enforcement but lower fines, other states have higher fines but lower enforcement?>>28840221If you are alert you can spot cameras, its the normies usually in Ford Rangers and the like who don't pay attention. Saw police the other day blocking a lane on a bridge for a camera. It was marked on waze anyway. Other times its after a corner and right in the distance you can see a RAV 4 or similar with a camera in the back.>>28840198Unlike the Altima and Camry which you guys love.
>>28841342>which hotel did they put you in? how was the food?Not gonna dox which hotel since idk how many hotels were part of it but it was a fairly nice hotel, it's listed as being 4 stars and the bathroom was pretty impressive which is a sign of a good hotel. Big windows I could open a little, decent view of the city, big screen TV that I could hook my laptop up to, sitting area etc so it was alright.Food was hit and miss. There were some pretty good meals but one or two I didn't like at all, but that's probably more personal preference than anything. You could also get as much Uber Eats or whatever as you wanted if you didn't like the hotels food (the hotel would still bring their food anyway so you could put it in the fridge if you wanted it later).>>28841363>hotel for two weeks is the same is like a campLol okay buddy. The hotels were also free depending on your circumstances, so NEETs or low level wagies never had to pay for example and employers would foot the bill if you were traveling for work. The hotel thing was also only in the circumstance that you didn't live where you traveled to, otherwise you just go straight home and get told to stay inside for two weeks if you do have a home there. So on return flights I'd get to just go straight back to my house.Source: Traveled a lot nationally during COVID as did some of my family
>>28841498oh was just wondering what hotel chain it was if, if it was a chain. just so i know which is good and which isn't as good
>>28841363Normies are the fucking worst when it comes to speed cameras, I go past them at 106-107kmh and have never gotten a fine, meanwhile normies doing 95 slam their brakes on down to like 80kmh in a 100 zone when they see one, idk how many times i have seen traffic jams on the m1 because someone got rear ended in the slow lane after slamming their brakes on for the speed camera.
>>28840199Every time I've interacted with these guys it's been fine, they only care about licence and reg. They are starting to clamp down on single track though, which is absolute bullshit.
>>28841597Wanna know what's even worse than that? The average speed cameras in SA. People will drop 20kmh and maintain that slower speed until the other end of the average speed zone, which can last for 10 or 20km or more. I didn't see a single one of these things in Vic so I think it's an SA only thing.
>>28841597there's a section of road that has a speed camera just before a set of lights but it's NOT a red light camera, and almost everyone slams on the brakes when the light starts to turn yellow. there's also three lanes either side, so it never gets old when traffic is slowed down in the two right lanes by dumb cunts that think doing 70 in a 70 zone is gonna get you a ticket and i just fly past them all at or slightly above the limit without a care in the world.
>>28841658One thing I've wondered about those red light cameras; if the light is yellow when you enter but red as you cross the final line on the other side, can you still get ticketed? Does it only kick on if you cross the very first line when it's red and not the last line? I freak myself out every time I go through a yellow but I also don't want to slam the breaks.
>>28841657they are in wa too
>>28841657we have them in nsw too, i think not many people realise that (until it got changed) they only apply to heavy vehicles and for passenger cars they're just fixed speed cameras. going between sydney and wollongong there's a section of the highway there where traffic often gets packed in the right two lanes so you can just fly past everyone in the left which goes for a while before it merges.Unfortunately the state govt is trialling two average speed camera sections in the state to apply to passenger cars too...it's one foot in the door :(
>>28841659> if the light is yellow when you enter but red as you cross the final line on the other side, can you still get ticketed?no, you will only get owned if you run a red or are going 100 in a 60 zone
>>28841659you can see the induction loops in the ground that detect red light runners. if the coils picked up your vehicle before the light went red you'll be fine.talking about that, another thing that rustles my jimmies are people that don't creep into the intersection when the right turn light is blacked out. on some roads with heavy traffic, this is pretty much the only way to get through and it's annoying as shit. worst is when there's a red light camera too, these people don't know that it won't flash you if you're already past the line after the light turns red.
>>28841660>>28841661Woah I didn't know that. I was pleasantly surprised not to see any at all when I visited Vic, I went all the way from West to East and only saw regular speed cameras or the red light ones. >>28841662>>28841668Based, that's a relief. I always figured they used radar pings or something since I see those boxes next to the cameras sometimes.
>>28841625They kicked me off my fully registered bike once while I was just casually riding down a fire track because I wasnt looking in mirrors. I didn't even have any because they just break off. They didn't let me off, after kicking my bike in the fuel tank and making me crash I was arrested for assault because I fucking went the cunt I didn't know he was a cop, bike was defected/impounded because the license plate was on the rear mud guard, no mirrors or blinkers and no white ligh shining on the fucking number plate. Fuck cops They are dogs.
>>28841672Also they towed my car.
>>28841661>i think not many people realise that (until it got changed) they only apply to heavy vehicles and for passenger cars they're just fixed speed camerasNot in SA as far as I know, I think it applies to everything and has big warnings about no overtaking in the zone. I got stuck behind some old guy doing 70kmh the whole way once, it fucked up my schedule badly.
>>28841671i found out the average cams were a fixed cam for cars/private vehicles when i got a ticket in the mail from one lol.>boxes next to the cameras sometimes.are they on a pole? If it's a smaller box that's just the flash bulb. But I've also seen cameras that seem to use IR lights or something because once I got a ticket from a camera and the pic looked like an IR flash/spotlight had been shone on my car. And I remember at the time there was no visible flash at all.
>>28841681They are point to point cameras for the future all those new ones that are a slanted box on a pole, they are only recording speed at the moment but soon once all are built those cameras will be point to point cameras with no leniency and every tradie will lose their license
>>28841686ehh, i think there's still hope for us yet. we did manage to get the govt to restore warning signs for mobile speed cameras. They initially put them back just on the vehicle itself, but we still bitched so they restored it to how it originally was (50-100m before the actual vehicle) if pozzed nsw can do it surely qld and vic can too.
>>28841681Yeah all the SA ones are for all vehicles, not just trucks or whatever like what anons say NSW does.
>>28841675They ate my baby
>>28841694no i mean i found out the nsw average speed cameras were still regular speed cameras for all other traffic. when i got the ticket a week or two later it showed the back of my car from the overhead gantry camera, it was at victoria pass
>>28841724Everyone knows this though, why do you think people slow down for the entry and exit>me flying up the inside of cunts dropping below 80 because they think cameras can see through concrete barriers to the other side of the road
>>28841692Not in victoria, every single mobile speed camera is at the bottom of a hill even though they are not legally allowed to do that but they know you aren't going to take a day off work to fight it in court while spending triple the cost of the fine so who is going to stop them?I want to kill the fucking snitches who do that speed camera shit. In minecraft of course.

>>28842342Wrong questions. In the event of a crash, going faster obviously results in a worse crash.

$500 AUD is about $4 USD by the way
>>28842853despite our monopoly money, it's often still cheaper to buy shit from rockauto with shipping, than it is to buy locally...
>>28842865Is it? I need to look at Rockauto.
>>28842870i was able to buy an aisin water pump for my toyota just by itself for 100 aud total, this was in 2022. the water pump is still floating around 70 bucks right now on there. at the time, all the local aftermarket water pumps for my car were 150 bucks or more. i know it's not really a high bar, but SCA and repco were asking 200+ bucks for one.i see one right now thats 80 bucks total, but it doesn't mention any brand, lord only knows how long it'll last.i threw in a bunch of other shit that i could get from the same warehouse as well and the shipping probably only went up by a few bucks when i had like 10 items or more. the shipping will jump up a lot if you chuck in heavy or bulky/awkward shit like rotors or big gaskets.
>>28842879https://www.rockauto.com/Is this link right? Google had a few variations.I checked some price and they're pretty stunning, even some bulbs are $0.50 where in a store here I'd probably be paying $5 per bulb. And then shipping is something like $20 and will arrive in 4 days and everything is in AUD. Unreal if this is the real deal, I can get everything I need for basically no money. Except it doesn't look like they off cabin filters which sucks.
>>28842881I take it back, I found cabin filters for my car and fuck they're so cheap, even the brand name stuff. All this shit is genuine right? The prices seem just a little too good
>>28841838yeah yeah we've had a long time to point fingers at the evil of world jewry, we know. I'm being funny, broseph.
>>28842879>i know it's not really a high bar, but SCA and repco were asking 200+ bucks for onePro tip, SCA will price match to basically anyone if its an aus retailer. Just have to prove it and we will.
>>28842881>>28842885yeah they sell brands that supply the oems. very cheap for what they are.also don't forget the discount code - you can google it and grab any code that isn't expired, punch that into the 'how did you hear about us' box and you'll get 5% off. you can use the codes as many times as you like right up till their expiry date.>>28842948i do know about that, it's just that even with price matching i can still get stuff from rockauto even cheaper lol. but i have used it on the rare occasion that i can't get it elsewhere.

>>28846460>i didnt follow the law because its inconvenient!In my country it's illegal to change a light bulb unless you're a qualified electrician so what would you do if a globe blew out? Would follow the law and pay for a qualified electrician to do what you can do for free? You'll be on a waiting list and it might take weeks for the electrician to get around to changing your bulb for you, unless you pay a premium price for the ""priority service"" where it only take days and not weeks. Weekends and after hours rates are also higher. Or would you simply break the law and change your own bulb because it's more convenient (and cheaper)?Your car has bulbs too so now this post is /o/ related.
