..

there already are venues where people can get into this....oh its expensive and need to travel.....welcome to the real world, not everything is affordable or immediate.

Police are interested, say they will send a car down....couple of hours later a patrol van may come past. If I can give them rego, they promise to follow up with the culprits and that appears to stop them doing it again, but getting rego isnt always that easy unless one is outside at the time and twice as hard at night when you can only see one plate for a fraction of a sec.

If many claim to do say that they regularly do 10-15km/h over the limit, would drive with only one headlight if it failed, contribute to threads on how to beat rwc regs for exhausts and other items....then its a sure bet Id of thought.

Hmm, another one that doesnt appreciate why cars need two headlights, perhaps put an argument together on how the regulators have got this wrong and that it is perfectly safe to not light up the front corners of the car at night time, and that somone couldnt possibly end up poorly due to mistaking a car's overall postion because it only had one HEADLIGHT.........wont hold my breath on that one.

Yeh, it was a problem when Captain Cook arrived too ......, its strange that some people think that within their lifetime means always been happening.

Interesting you should think murder is one of those crimes done in passion...you come from Melbourne right, premeditated murder was rife there in the 90's, remember?
...

Perhaps you have misinterpreted my point here, I wasnt the one claiming that the behaviour of murderers and hoons could be put in the same basket, that was 302xc, nor did I advocate capital punishment.....but hasnt stopped you building strawmen before.

Perhaps you can provide the stats in the real world on premeditated murders and one's done otherwise?

I'm certainly not the same person I was ten years ago, not even the same person as I was 5 years ago...So it wasn't relevant, it appeared to be a witch hunt from where I sat. Trying to get your point across that the commissioner is a tool in your eyes and doesn't deserve the job...Do you think you could do better? Honestly...

Seems you missed the point of why I brought up Kieran Walsh in this thread. Here is someone who is now in charge of traffic and standing up giving messages about responsible behaviour and someone actually died at the hands of his poor driving......however it happened. So people have forgiven him and are not crying hypocrite and it was a long time ago? ok fair enough. But little me whose indiscretions(that didnt result in harm to anyone) occurred almost as long ago mean Im not allowed to comment on all the stupid things people do around here?....go figure.

You want me to disprove govco conspiracy? ....I think we need some basis to establish something in the first place, fines to deter people from speeding, driving unroadworthy cars(hardly new), and other lawlessness....that's your evidence

Surely you arent siding with the wacko govco conspiracy theory and think the money goes into the pockets of the politicians themselves?.

Funny how you scared yourself doing a tad over the National Speed limit

Ben: suggest you find an early sixties australian car on crossplys, (take it on to a closed road/track somewhere that has less than a billiard table surface and see just how it reacts at 135km/h+)

Interesting that 35km/h over is just a tad for you, but I suppose you can tell me how many more metres your car needs to pull up from 135km/h than it does at 100km/h? or how what radius curve you can theoretically get the thing round at both speeds?
