i agree with your post , but will oppose it mate . so much crap in there its not funny .
1st of all our average speed in our new performance GT is 38km/hr , 2nd of all , i havent had any speeding offence or fine in 15 years . 3rd of all i'm a tax payer , fully funded and self supported , pay all bills taxes and law abiding citezen , 4th of all , if it takes me 90 mins to 2 hours each way in sydney traffic now to go to work , how long would it take me to catch a combined taxi, train , and then taxi to get to work daily . and 5th of all your telling me i'm a total freak and deserve to get my $70 000 aussie performance car takien off me if i were to simply floor it for 2 or 3 seconds , overtaking a tired wandering truck driver on the m4 at 4 am in the morning . 2 times in 5 years .
. yet there is no offence for being tired behind the wheel .
i will add further to this post .
yes i am totallyt aware of what a mistake can cost you or someone else . i once took my 6 year old son out onto the footpath on his peewee 50 , he was all fitted with helmet gloves and safety gear , i was on the back with no helmet , we were idling along at walking speed , i kid you not on the footpath going up to open land at the edge of my estate for a blap , when i highway patrol , pulled up and wanted a chat . the officer asked me if he knows how many laws i am breaking , my reply no not really but i know we shouldnt have the engine on and be on the bike on the footpath ,
he then proceeded to tell me , i'm breaking 7 laws , and can lose my car licence and truck licence , be fined $2500 on the spot , vitrually putting me out of a job also , and if i decide to continue onto that vacant public property there i will be breaking further laws . he suggested getting off the bike and walking home , which we did . then i sold the bike , my son now plays his playstation and lost all interest in the bike riding .
this has come a long way from when we rode our motorbikes down at the local park when i was a teen . and remember , i was putting along at walking pace . i undrstand one for all and all for one , and accept it . now i must remember never to speed at all no matter what , even when over taking briefly . because now it could ruin my life , even if nothing happens .
