I'd say our car can be described as most of these. And... | |

We've been refused our choice and have always had to take the path that he wanted. | |
I guess what I'm asking, is do you think my argument has weight, or will the Member just roll their eyes at the hearing? I feel like myself and my girlfriend have been constantly gaslit by him and so I just wanted a few other opinions. | |

Cheers! | |
Would love to hear how you went with this! Hope this is okay but I sent you a direct message | |
I drive a lot on the major freeways (hume, pacific, m4 etc) and ther always seems to be people doing 10+km/h over the limit (this is based on me driving to the exact GPS speed) | |
But I don't understand how people do this all the time without getting caught? | |
Since there's so many hidden speed cameras and cops with radars, how do people manage to spot these in time? | |
Waze and over-confidence | |
Can understand the Waze bit how how exactly is speeding on a good quality freeway being over confident? | |
I'd argue that drivers who speed are capable of driving to conditions rather than an arbitrary number on a sign | |
I'll rephrase what i meant. | |
They think waze is perfect, so they take the chance they can speed and wont get caught. | |
they might also be relying on the tolerance of the speed cameras themselves. i'd expect there to be an error on the cameras that they dont fine for. ie hypothetically: if the speed limit is 100, and they wont fine you until 105. I have no idea what the official number is (have heard numbers floating around) | |
Ahh yeah | |
If I understand correctly, Waze relies on user inputs so might not always be reliable | |
Thats correct. Maybe theyre taking a calculated risk. | |
They're setting up road blocks and pulling over any ant looking drivers. | |
I for one welcome the arrival of our fire ant overlords. | |
(If we don't start getting something resembling decent rain eventually they'll be the only things likely to survive out here anyway.) | |
A time of peace. But that all changed when the Fire Ant Nation attacked. | |
Will privately owned e-scooters ever become legal here in NSW? Imagine all the cars we could take off the road. I think they shouldn't be illegal, just regulated like bikes... Opinions? | |
In all other countries of the world, people faced with this issue in their cities and at the end of the day they decided to remove them and invest traffic engineering more. | |
You know governments they never wanna pay to something but e-Scooters are really is not a solution. There is no any place to fit them in. Road? Footpath? Bike road? Bus lane? No sir. In Turkey even an app similar to Uber rents e-Scooters to people like car sharing apps but they about to be banned because of the multiple footpath accidents in Istanbul. | |
Even some old people died because of it and you cannot judge the guy uses e-Scooter when hit people, because nobody didn’t authorise him to drive it so there are no responsibilities defined for e-Scooters, they’re just not like other vehicles. | |
I believe laws need to protect both of the sides in this case. Also I support every innovation as long as saves time, if authorities can manage to keep e-Scooters in traffic and guarantee peoples’ well-being, I’m perfectly ok with that. | |
I think we need to stop nannying people. Have mandatory safety requirements on manufacture and use and let it rip. Anecdotally I just got back from Hobart and as a tourist found the e-scooter set up so useful. | |
The guys on the Mighty Car Mods (MCM) YouTube channel were discussing this issue about why isn't it legal in NSW compared to other parts of the country/world and their hypothesis is that they can't figure out how to make money from it, so it's banned. | |
E-scooters are unlikely to remove cars from the road - people like driving in their little environment out of the rain and cold. More likely to move people from pedestrian/public transport on to the scooters - and then only those who work relatively closely to their home.. | |
I literally own one got it from a local jb hi-fi and I just ride it around the street cops pull me over and do nothing I don’t think the police 100% know the law maybe | |
E Scooters: for people who are too lazy to ride a bike. | |
I noticed every other city at the moment has those rentable scooters everywhere! (Adelaide and Christchurch being the 2 i've seen) which would be a lot easier to jump on and of vs a bike here in Sydney. Especially since we have the ride on the road unlike other states as well. Maybe since Sydney is so much denser this would be an issue? | |
Only a exceedingly small subset of these people could use e-scooters. | |
But it doesn't have to be this way. Every other state in Aus is more chill about it | |
Good. | |
Ffs, just do it. | |
i wouldn't consider aerial shooting the best way to do it but it is the most efficient. | |
Hurry up and start | |
I really don't understand the objections to culling brumbies. They are literally a feral animal ruining the native ecosystem in the national park. The counterargument seems to be nothing more than 'I have warm feelings about the Man from Snowy River'?? | |
Horse is delicious. | |
We learnt they did this in high school geography. Why did it ever stop? | |
It just makes sense. I walked the Australian Alps Walking Track this year and the level of destruction across KNP and ANP is brutal. Broad areas trampled to mud, trails going everywhere. And it’s not just brumbies. Hardly any native animals to be seen but endless horses, deer, dogs, pigs, foxes, and rabbits all tearing up the landscape. Australian flora is not adapted to hard hooved animals and it will take generations to recover. | |
NSFW? why? | |
Yeah but how are they going to get them up there? | |
This | |
They can come back for the deer and goats too | |
My father culled horses working in western NSW. Although he could ride and care for horses as part of his work, he never really liked them, but even he said shooting them was a vile job. | |
They still have to go. Horribly destructive to that delicate alpine ecosystem. No room for sentimentality with feral stock. | |
I do believe this is correct. It's all Banjo Patterson's fault. | |
It's the pony club set. They only see horses as beautiful animals that can do no wrong. | |
Ever. | |
Or be in the wrong place. | |
And can't understand why the rest of the world sees horses any differently. | |
Think entitled wealthy middle-class landed types. | |
Typical conservative voters... | |
Had the ear of the previous government on this... | |
The enitre sub became NSFW for some reason. | |
And the pigs and foxes. | |
New South Fucking Wales I guess | |
NSFW subs aren’t monetised. It’s a protest to Reddit. | |
is there any specific reason as to why all posts are marked as nsfw on here? assuming it has to do with the misconception of how nsw looks like nsfw. | |
I can't help but read it in my head as New South Fucking Wales. Even when I see it on a non /nsw sub! | |

For Wales! | |
This is now on par with the antivaxxers still protesting long after vaxx requirements were lifted | |
Tell me you have no idea without telling me you have no idea | |
Don’t be so naïve. While the Reddit protest may have had noble intentions (unlike the deadshit antivaxxers), it was always going to amount to nothing. Still using it and carrying on long after the changes have been made is just pointless | |
The Apollo dev was making millions, Reddit is about to lose its Angel Investors from YC and *actually has to start making a profit* and get an IPO happening (as well as showing its a fiscally responsible company), and the dev being asked to stop leeching got ?his Mod friends to racketeer this 'protest', and a lot of Aspirational lowtier mods want to be in on the bandwagon. Have I missed anything? | |
Google, Yahoo, Facebook, eBay/PayPal, Twitter, etc., all did the same thing; the same "User Protests" happened; the companies ignored then ...and they're still in business today. | |
Edit: Reddit taking on the Meetup 'pay to be a mod' business model because of the vindictive 'give us everything for free OR ELSE!' demands in 10... 9... 8... | |

Yeah not really an issue here but probably more of a supporting fact for audit and advisory parts of these firms to be split. | |
Now to preface this, I fully take responsibility for me being in this situation due to my poor driving habits and I blame nobody besides myself for putting myself in this stupid situation… | |
Now, due to me being a moron I am now in a position where once I have payed this fine I will lose my license. Usually I am a pretty safe driver but over the past few months a series of poor decisions have now landed me in hot water and I’m looking to see what my options are. I know that I can apply for a good behaviour license which is 2 points for the year, or I can cop the 3 months but I know that comes with its own issues with insurance further down the track. And I also know I can go to court and with some other stuff try to get the suspended license time reduced. What is everyone’s opinion on this? Is there anything else I should know? | |
I will be going to a traffic lawyer in a next few days for their opinion too, I work 3 jobs (Woolies, Classroom support teacher, and I run my own photography business) so losing my license isn’t really an option. But I could survive if I do it. Once again this is due to my completely stupid decisions I’m in this position in the first place… | |
I took the good behaviour. | |
It was a nerve- wracking year, but taught me to be a much better driver (I think) | |
What I really struggled with was learning to just cruise in the left lane, and not worry about always trying to be in the fastest lane or catch every set of lights. | |
Just cruise and chill. | |
Haven't had any demerits in 20 years. | |
I've just come off a 12 month good behaviour license. It was double demerits for using Google maps in a traffic jam on a public holiday that got me there....and I was on 7 points..... | |
No big deal. I just drove like I actually should have always been driving, which is, you know, just following the road rules. Easy peasy. | |
[deleted] | |
Sounds to me like you’re getting what you deserve. What gives you the right to endanger people and then waste the court’s time with a case that nobody in their right mind would overturn? Take your medicine and do better in the future | |
I paid 2k for a traffic lawyer mid last year and got a 3 month sentence reduced to 2 months. For me that’s worth it because my video prod company does 10k rev a month, and I need to drive for that, soooo 2k to make 8K was okay for me. | |
I’ve also done the 12month behaviour period thing…(I had a 2 week period where I got ffuqed by every variable speed limit and thing you can imagine haha) | |
It works well, I got through it by driving like a granny. Alternatively buy yourself a Shit box manual car that’s slow as tits ;) | |
In Sydney btw | |
E-bike. | |
Options? Buy a good pair of shoes. | |
I copped a 3 month suspension in 2021. It didn’t affect my insurance with my current provider (I called to let them know and they said they didn’t need to know) but I haven’t been able to shop around because of a combination of that and a couple of accidents that weren’t my fault — but when filling out the questionnaire it asks how many accidents in the last 5 years regardless of who is at fault. | |
Walk, train, bus, bicycle, horse, taxi or personal driver. | |
You should make sure that you are drivable. Because of your jobs, moving from point A to B is very important so just to make sure you can drive again with a valid licence however, try to use public transport options and avoid unnecessary driving for example, going to servo at night for a snack etc. Less driving less chance to lose your points. Do this for at least 12 months until you get your full licence back from the bond conditions. |
