There's nothing really much to say except he should have at least gone for the full 200!

Try 15" steelies
and yes, VYII/VZ commodores will happily get to 200 if you give them enough road. Dunno how he did it in a 60 zone however.

Also i've heard that the cruise control still works at 200 in the commodores...

Why not, it works at 220 in a BAI XR8. This was in the NT before speed restriction by the way.

But 130 over the limit. :

yep, after you are doing 45 over, you may as go all the way!!!

I know when I drive on highways I kind of do that in the bracket of speeding that I am doing at the time. Ie, if you are doing 112, you are in the bracket of 110 to 125, so may as well do 125.

As soon as you do 45 over, its the same as doing 100 or 200 over! No difference.

And what will that do?

If he has shown this much disrespect for the law now, what is going to stop him from driving while under suspension?

I'm almost 26 and still on my Ps (I got my license at 23).
I have no doubt that getting my license later has been of benefit to me.
I am not an idiot who speeds or wants to cause trouble. I mind my own business, but my perspective on life from when I was 18 to when I was 23 was very, very different, and even from when I was 23 to now...very, very different.
Some people at 18 are still boys. They have high opinions of themselves, and are unable to comprehend how they could possibly be selfish. Their inflated egos don't allow it.

A person like this should feel the effects of this action for life. Permanent alcohol restrictions (.00), and nothing but a Prius for them. There's punshment.

I don't care if he's a P-Plater or not, if he's in a Holden, a Ford, a Winnebago or the Batmobile, the guy's a maggot who does not understand anything outside of himself. People like this are a menace.

I am pretty sure its the same fine, 45 over and more is the same, and you lose you licence for 12 months. Doesnt matter how far over.

You go to court and the judge decides.

When the speed is over by as much as his was, the judge has the option of not taking his license and giving a fine, he can award a custodial sentence.

There is a large difference.

I don't see how a 21 year old open licence driver has anything to do with no V8's or turbos, no more than 1 passenger between 11pm and 5am and a 0.00 BAC for p-platers?

care to explain...

because the driver is still young and hasnt been driving as long as probably most the people on the forums and for some reason most people seem to class young drivers with p platers and being stupid
