    RTA: Increased penalties for school zones from 21 May 2007

    RTA: How do speed cameras work?

    The thing is though, if it's happened before and they've gotten off there is a legal precedent for that now, so theoretically it should be easier to get off.

    RTA: Increased penalties for school zones from 21 May 2007

    I wouldn't expect you would hold a licence at all for quite some time after an effort like that. Look at all the shit that hit the fan after the poor old guy hit the Delezio kid...

    Missing tuts- 2 or 3 allowed?

    Depends on the attitude of the tutor. If they are in a generous mood they'll overlook it. If not, guess what? Your doing the unit again...

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    Probably the perfect system in theory, once again hard to judge though without constant observation of an individuals driving practice and habits, but at least it can be agreed there is no simple solution and politics are always going to venture into. Which brings us back to the new P laws...

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    Unfortunately that would never work. It gives too much power to the police. For example if a person is doing 150 on the freeway with nobody in sight, then all the police have to say is there was someone and you just didn't see them. Then it ends up being you word against theirs. Might not happen...

    Sorry but that statement doesn't seem to make any sense. If only it were that simple. Just saying they should drive slower doesn't mean they will. Infact truck drivers are some of the worst offenders in my experiences. If the speed limit is increased people are going to attempt to drive faster...

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    Firstly there is no limit at which it is abandoned. The concept of limiting speeds is all about reducing or minimising risk while facilitating efficient transport. To just suggest that is just being petty and pedantic. That 85th percentile stuff is great in theory. But it doesn't (AFAIK) take...

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    They aren't randomly assigned at all, AFAIK they are based on the conditions of the road, whether there is likely to people pedestrians around, the proximity of property in relation to the road and depth of visibility in the area. I do agree they don't always get it right, and if a fatal occurs...

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    Yes, but there is more chance at 130km/h than 110km/h. It's all about risk, and I'm afraid that your risk taking is affecting the rest of us. It's unfortunate that you value saving 3 minutes a day over the lives of innocent people. As I mentioned previously I've done stupid things, and still...

    all uws.edu.au 's down!!

    It was for both actually. I don't know if I still have it but I'm 100% sure it mentions that off-campus disruptions including the website would occur as well.

    P1 Restrictions coming July07!

    You do realise that getting caught isn't the only risk. Nor should it be the biggest deterrent, death has a lasting impact... I'm not claiming that I never do anything stupid, but to openly admit that you have every intention of going 20 or 30km/h over the limit proves that your an absolute...

    all uws.edu.au 's down!!

    They sent an email around saying they would be doing vital maintence this weekend. You have been warned about it, not their fault you don't check your student email. It should be back up either tomorrow or monday, they said they are moving everything onto new servers or something.

    The offence is incorrect display of l/p-plates. So you should only get one fine and lose two points, no more.

    If you're stupid enough to go through a speed camera over your limit they can give u a bigger fine. Lol. That's about the only reason I can see...

    DART in a manual

    Umm coz the learners handbook says so... Everyone knows you aren't going to drive like that but you could've at least looked at the book. It's on one of the first few pages.
