Ok, i m fxxking tired of receiving fines for speeding, WHY in 60 zone, driving 66 has to be fined?!

Solution, i go to get my navman, with speed and red light POIs, works really well, very happy till nowadays, red light is not only red light but with speed detector too and speed light also has red light function... and there are more and more cameras every where in melb, hidden, or cops hiding behind bushes...

i went to ebay, hope to find some camera or laser or any detector that might help me solve this problem, and found a prob...

from what i think....why not...i think all police everywhere almost using the same speed gun, or speed cameras. it does not concern regions. well thats what i thought anyway. speed gun or speed cameras in US has no different to Australia ones. well hopefully that helps.

simplest solution of all... DON'T SPEED!!!!!

also, unless you are in WA, detectors are highly illegal and the fine for using one runs into the $1000s

p/s: dont tell me to stop driving fast, its nearly impossible.

no it's not, everyone else seems to manage it, why the F**K can't you...

yea the detectors are illegal...

ok im not gonna tell you not to speed.. just leave your car in the garage and dont drive at all. if you cant be responsible on the roads and avoid the trouble of a fine, not to mention the risk you pose to others on the road, then start walkin!

Haha, if you think a fine for driving 6km/h over the limit is bad, buy a detector and see what the nice police officers do to you :)

The GPS devices that also warn about fixed speed and red light cameras are pretty cool, apart from adjusting your attitude they're your best hope.....

My mate had a detector in his car. The police have a radar detector detector and they will get you.

He got pulled over and the police said where is your detector ( it was really well hidden) he said he didn't have one.

They said we have the authority to pull your car apart and leave it by the side of the road and we will.

He showed them where it was. Can not remember the fine but it was huge.

yup.. detectors are illegal in all states except WA and maybe SA...

Melb speed/red light cameras are really bad... Syd isn't too bad.

The GPS device only shows where FIXED cameras are, but not mobile.. which I guess is the main problem.

Get 3 speeding fines more than 25km/h over the limit in a week and you wont have nothing to worry about anymore, makes you respect the speed limits real quick :)

Haha, gotta love how the moral majority latched onto this one. And fair enough too. By all means enjoy cranking ur car, just not down populated streets....

Remember: driving 40 kmh over the limit (anywhere in australia) constitutes a criminal offence!! Which means automatic loss of license, not to mention JAIL TIME!!

And for the Westerners on here, some interesting Trivia. Being a passenger in a vehicle that is speeding will get you done as an accessory! So unless you wanna say that your mate kidnapped you and refused to hear your pleas (which will get them into even more trouble!), best not fly around as a passenger either.

More interesting WA trivia: My good friend's Dad got fined for doing 82 in an 80 zone!! (Marmion Ave)

Cool, theres my 2 cents worth =p

yea must agree with that.

if you are in sydney youve got the eastern creek raceway or the dragway to test out your car.. LEGALLY.

if youve got the attitude where its "nearly impossible" not to speed, keep in mind that youre fcuking round on a road that we all have to share. if it was a member of your family who gets hurt coz someone decided they wanted to go over the speed limit, how the hell would you feel?

yea i know its a very stupid law...

about a year ago one of my friends got done for driving while on a suspended licence and my other friend also got done for being an accessory to driving while suspended or sumthing like that... lucky that the three other passengers in the car who shall remain nameless got out as soon as they saw the cops... the cops were waiting around the corner watching the car, the three passengers managed to get away but the driver n the other passenger couldn't make it n they got busted...

the driver now is serving a 5year licence suspention and him and the passenger are both on probation

      2015 Atara SX - Speed Camera Alert Volume

      Hi Everyone, First time poster here, hoping someone with more Camry/Toyota knowledge can help me.. I'm in the process of getting my mother-in-law's 2015 Camry Atara SX ready for sale and have just driven it for the first time today. During the drive there was a ridiculously loud "Mobile speed camera blah blah" spoken alert that just about blew my eardrums, and another one saying "Speed limit is XX" (or something like that) when I went a few kms over the limit in a 50 zone. I'm not talking about a little bit loud, I'm talking acoustic shock levels of loud (the kind that makes you dread the next announcement). This is surely not normal, right? I've checked the manual and all the settings screens in the multimedia system and can't find anything that appears to control this feature (I'm not even sure what to call it). This model doesn't appear to have navigation (there isn't anything in the multimedia system that mentions navigation anywhere), so I'm not even sure where this alert data comes from in the first place. I'm stumped, and currently, the car is unfit for resale because of this. It's a health hazard. Does anyone know what's responsible for this alert? Is there some way to fix the volume or disable the feature entirely? Really hoping someone can help me out here! Many thanks

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!
