I lost 18 points in one night. All it takes is a few minutes of stupidity to ruin many years in ones life.

The long story: I lost 3 points on my first year of driving on my P's so that took me down to 1 point. Then I got my Opens about 6 months after reclaiming my 3 points back. Then I lost 3 points in my second year of driving, and then 4 points in my third year of driving. Though with the timing and everything, that left me with 2 out of 12 points left on my Opens (because the first 3 points count within a 3 year period), but as of January 18 this year, I have 5 points left on my licence now.

The short story: I have lost a total of 10 points during the course of all my driving. I now have recovered some points, so I now have 5 points left on my licence.

All these points were lost in my old Camry. I have not lost any points while driving my Aurion.

keep it short got done for not displaying pplates 2 points(one for each) really pety and weird cause at the time i got pulled over was doing 100 in a 60zone

got done twice for speeding both times have been on freeway/highway driving

one funny thing is the last time i got done for speeding cop pulls me over and i say can u be lenient cause i only have 2points left, he says sure and walks to his car, comes back and hands me a ticket, have a nice day. this would meen that i would of lost my licance but the thing is i could already go for my fulls so i paid the ticket and the next day i went for the test which ment i got points back and kept my licance, the system works.........

mate had two points left after being done for driving whilst on the phone.

driving out of uni, a copper pulls him over and does a whole car check, fined him for defected tyres (bald) and not displaying 2 plates (2 points) - loss of license.

got done on m5 at about 3am coming from campbeltown. was in the right lane and was pretty sleep. noticed a car behind me and changed lanes. by the way i noticed it was a cop and after about 10 mins of driving behind me he pulled me over. also my speedo wasnt working so i didnt exactly know how fast i was going. haha got fined for driving in right lane. and also got done by two police officers walking on the side of the road. lost traction as i was turning then stopped at a intersection. as soon as i stopped my phone rang and i picked it up. before i knew it i had the phone to my ear and two police officers standing in front of my car watching my every action. pulled over and didnt lie and copped it sweet. the officers were kind enough to only fine me for talking on the phone. also got done for speeding. haha this ones funny. police officer pulls me over and asks for my pilots licence. i just had the dummest look on my face. was a blonde moment then later on it kicked in. and also got the funniest phrase from a police officer. this was when i got done for foggies. haha

POLICE OFFICER: you may think they look fully sick but there not so keep them off. can only use them when there is fog or animals on the road.

THOUGHTS GOING THROUGH MY MIND: i saw a pig on the road.

lost 3 points 1 week after i got my p's for neg driving.

it was nothing compared to being in lala land in hospital for 4 days, totalling my car and a euro accord without insurance and being in pain and failing my hsc due to the car accident. at least i am still alive.

didn't get a fine though as i was technically in the wrong but only because of a loophole.

i turned right out of sydney park and from my right the black euro accord was doing about 90kmph on a 60k road at night with his headlights off over the top of a hill.

impossible for me to see BUT i should of given way.

now i am on my opens and havn't lost a point since then.

Never lost a point, been RBT'd, fined for anything or even randomly pulled over. I think some cops have a broken "hoonometer".

Thats cause you drive a Paseo :P (just playing)

Currently on Good Behaviour 'apparently' clocked doing 91 in a 60 - $350 6pts...

I have lost more points in slow cars than decent ones.......

For years I had decent, quick cars and kept my record clean.....more through luck than anything else

....then lost 6pts in 6 months (15-30kmh speeding & red light)

Then had another clear year and a bit.........

then driving a diesel Captiva back from Orange got caught 15-30kmh speeding on double demerit point October weekend.

I had the choice of a good behaviour zero point licence for 12 months, risking a 6month suspension if I got caught doing anything or taking a 3 month suspension.

I took it on the chin, and started my three months on January 27th.

The sportivo gets a rest, and my mountain bike gets punished :)

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
