Iv'e just had a sudden thought, I hoped we are not being trolled on this thread
I wish! But unfortunately I did get caught and this is real.
Anyway, here is some new information straight from VicRoads!
Keep in mind that this is regarding people that have Green P-Plates and in Victoria:
No Speeding - Fine ($146 Minimum), One to six demerit points. One to six months licence suspension.
No Excessive Speeding (45km/h over the limit) - Fine ($502 Minimum), Eight demerit points. 12 months licence suspension. Vehicle impoundment for 48 hours (first offence), Vehicle impoundment for up to 3 months (second offence), Vehicle confiscation (third offence).
So by that, I was under by 3km/h, depending on how many points the officer decides to give me (if any), then I might get 6 months, or it could be less.
Now some officers do let you off with a warning or aren't so harsh. Reason I say this is because I was pulled over once and didn't have my licence on me, it says that you should receive a $117 fine (no points) for not carrying a licence on Green P's, but I was only 2kms from home so he let me go.
Also he didn't notice that I was driving a high powered vehicle (didn't look), which would have also been a $234 fine and 3 points.
I have a whole list of requirements and penalties for both red and green P's in vic if anyone is interested. I can post them.
