Cars & Transportation Speeding

[WheatsWorshipper]

Spelling isn't a huge part of my role as an Oil and Gas engineer. If I wanted to I could pay some shit ant like you to spell check everything I write. Would get you off the dole queue.

Oil and Gas engineer pffft come back to me when you're a Chemical engineer, bitch

Dont even post until you are a senior financial advisor at coopers private equity

Nige Cooper runs his firm well so I'm sure it's only a matter of time before a promotion is offered

I do have respect. Scientific tests would show that I can go 80 and Barina can go 60 and we would stop at the same time.

you spelled please wrong by the way.

Physics fail. Stopping distance is proportional to the square of the speed

I dislike that poster as much as the next bloke but not all brakes are built the same. Hopped out of my shitbox (Hyundai Exel 99) the other day and into Mums car (Mazda 6 2005) and one tap is all it took to just about give me whiplash!

 

[GoldenCoast]

dont know why you dislike me when you were the one who was having a go at me.

and dont think that I will be taking physics lessons from some nobody, I learnt enough physics when I got my degree.

 

[Lazarus]

Obviously not enough.

waah waaah waah.

But what you're discounting here is the relative mass of the vehicles in question, and friction (both of the brake pads to the brakes, and the tyres to the road surface) - all of which are variables.

You could probably stop a Ferrari 458 Italia from 120km/h faster than a semi from 60km/h.

 

[Lazarus]

He said a Barina at 60

Regardless, he was using it to justify speeding which isn't legal at any time.

You idiot so everyone that lives in the country lives on a farm, hey and i dont speed cause im still using a horse and cart times are tough in the country..

Try reading what I wrote "most of them work on farms"

You do understand the word "most", don't you?

I speed nearly everywhere i go because i can afford the fines!

I have said since I first got my license- time=money so think of all the money i saved by speeding!

mind you I dont speed excessively, just think that when I am in a car with so much technology inside of it I should be allowed to go faster than the 1992 barina plodding along...

IMO if you get in the right lane and you are not at least 10k's over the limit I will tailgate you for a bit until the message is received.

I'd stay in front of you getting slower until my message was received

Lol you idiot
My town has a population of 65'000. 5000 absolute max would be farmers. Even in a lot of farming communities the word 'most' wouldnt be quite accurate.

 

[Asgardian]

Come on, think man

A town with a 65,000 population is treated as any metropolitan area

I'm referring to the little townships throughout the country, they are rural centers and are treated like that

 

[carltonblue]

Well obviously your insurance agency or whatever you mentioned has a completely different meaning of country to anything Ive ever come across.

 

[Power King]

Even Port will win a flag before GC...

i lol'd

bit of advice for goldencoast - the GD board is filled with people taking the piss out of themselves and other people. this is the internet, it's really not that big a deal. by responding to trolls, you are in turn feeding the cycle of them coming back at you. this is how internet social circles work.

underlying point? relax, calm the **** down and have fun!

oh and keep serious footy team sledging out of this board and on bay 13. footy discussion is more relaxed round these parts

"50 sir"

The first bit of bullshit. Where in all of Australia is there a 50k mutilane road? (temp speeds excepted)

Today, a thing that shits me, a lady pulled in front of me in the right lane and proceeded to use her brake as the accelerator.

I hate this. It's not Policed anywhere near enough.

I had to beat the rush to Subway for a footlong Meatball.

What, if in your rush for a footlong Meatball you had t-boned another car or run over a pedestrian? Was the footlong Meatball worth a life?

I go to the vacant left lane and give it some, reaching 75 on my odomoter when I seen the boy in blue calling me in.

Doing his job.

No doubt this topic has come up before but the mods are the guys on the big bucks to search for said thread and join them up; not I.

Today, a thing that shits me, a lady pulled in front of me in the right lane and proceeded to use her brake as the accelerator. My stomach and mouth grumbled in unison, I had to beat the rush to Subway for a footlong Meatball. So I go to the vacant left lane and give it some, reaching 75 on my odomoter when I seen the boy in blue calling me in. This guy was very adept at playing hide and seek as I later found out when his car wasnt just parked in an adjacent street but about 500m away 2 streets away! However after a quick thought of turning and legging it I made my way to the kerb, much to the pleasure of said lady who thinks the brake is her accelerator.

"Hi Sir do you know the speed limit along here?"

"50 sir"

"Then why were you going 67?"

(Instant relief it was 67 as opposed to 75) "Stupidity, Sir."

"Are you going to work?"

"No Sir, off to get lunch. I only work Mon-Thurs."

"Where do you work?"

" (Insert name here) Accountants"

Then blabbers on asks for my licence, have I been drinking, is it my car I'm driving then goes to right the ticket.

He comes back and says he wrote the ticket as if I was on full licence (I am P plater and should have been instant loss) and as if I was only 10km/h over the limit. $90 fine instead of $211.

So apart from offering oral sex to this mid 40s fat balding hideous man it got me wondering.......had I been a dole bludger or a checkout operator would he have given me the loss of licence plus the full fine? But because of where I work where it infers I am of higher prestige and more responsible than the average speeding P plater did I get off lighter?

You're lucky it wasn't me that pulled you over. I would have thrown the book at you. No pity for people that break the Road Rules. Especially speeders.

 

[vealesy]

How long you been driving?

Speeding is one of the least dangerous ways to break the "Road Rules".

 

[BotsMaster]

The orange light means 'speed up'.
