Granted I was near a school, but the time was 7:40am So yes you can get done for only 10 k over	Myth (110)
541685	2007-04-17 06:07:00	Puncture two tyres ("tires" in SJ-speak), water in fuel (just a tiny amount to make it run rough), attach something real rattly to the underneath of the car - the faster she goes the more embarassing noise, microswitch on the speedo connected to the horn to trigger at a certain speed, automatic parachute deployment at a certain speed... How imaginative do you want to be? :p :thumbs: Johcar, I like your suggestions! :lol: I want to read these comments to her, to show what a creative funny group we are. :D ... and not to tick her off but to make her be more aware when driving.

541686	2007-04-17 06:10:00	Tell her to buy a radar detector and then it will pay for its self after a few alerts :D :p :thumbs: Love it. But the problem would be that I would want to drive her car to play with the radar detector. Or could it be transferred easily? Paul D: "Put one of those thermometer type billboards on the front lawn showing how much the fines have been " ... now why didn't I think of that? :)	Strommer (42)
541687	2007-04-17 06:12:00	Take the car away from her. Or threaten her with no shoes for a month. Nah, its her car, and if I did then I would have to drive her or she would use my car. BTW folks, she pays for everything so no skin off my nose, just annoyed that $$ going down the drain.	Strommer (42)
541688	2007-04-17 06:13:00	Tell her if she goes the same period of time without getting another one, you'll buy her a new HD, thumb drive, mp3 player, etc. from the saving in fines :rolleyes: Wouldn't work - she doesn't even know what those things are, much less her using and enjoying them. Thanks for the try...	Strommer (42)
541689	2007-04-17 06:16:00	so thay CAN ping you for being 10km\h over the limit? She got pinged this week for going 62 in a 50 zone . Its always around 10 - 15 kph over . How does one check the points total, and how many do you get for speeding each time, and losing the license?	Strommer (42)
541690	2007-04-17 06:32:00	Demerit points are here: www.police.govt.nz Looks like she now has 60 points, licence will go at 100 (not over 100, but at 100). Points expire after 2 years. That means the second one from now = no license at that rate. But that would fix the issue for a while. I bought a radar detect 10 years ago when caught at 142 km/h in a 100 km/h zone (60 demerit points then). Never been caught since...	godfather (25)
541691	2007-04-17 06:37:00	Demerit points are here: www.police.govt.nz Looks like she now has 60 points, licence will go at 100 (not over 100, but at 100). Points expire after 2 years.Although they do say this: There are no demerit points for speed camera tickets.	Jen (38)
541692	2007-04-17 06:41:00	Yeah, it is REALLY annoying . . . and people who do 80-90kph in a 100kph zone then when a passing lane comes, speed up to 110kph :badpc: I just drop a gear and boot it :p And another thing that causes crashes . . . the number of people who cross the centre line around corners even blind corners and most of them are the ones that go below the speed limit :waughh: Sheesh, if you can't stay in the lines . . . keep off the road, thats my thoughts . . . don't get me started i'll be on this all night ! She got pinged this week for going 62 in a 50 zone . yeah well thats why then . you watch auckland traffic, first its 55km/h, then 60, then 65, then 70 . . . . . . right past a school . noone seems to give a toss . about time they started getting harder on them .	tweak'e (69)
541693	2007-04-17 07:24:00	one thing i've noticed a lot more lately . . . . . . people don't read signs . we have a small town nearby with a 70km/h limit (a wide straight road) . do you think jaffas do 70km/h through it? no, they do 50-60km/h through it . How nice . Here they do 120 . In the 100k zone, the 80k zone, the 70k zone . I slow down . Lucky I do too, some ******* came out of a side road and round the front of me all at 120 . This in the 80k zone . I braked hard, and obviously missed him but I probably wouldn't have if I had still been at 100 . And in frosty weather I have been known to do 80 in the 100k zone, sorry I dont care, when theres ice all over the road and hurricanes blowing I would rather be cautious . I let the fast immortals pass me whenever they like .	pctek (84)
