Anyone know Jail Speed?

Does anyone know what speed you have to be caught doing to go to jail in QLD? Or is there even such a thing? Seems to be a lot of different opinions out there about this one, but only one of em can be right.

Don`t know about jail speed but was nicely informed on Saturday night when I got done that over 41 k's over will get you walking home

I think it really depends on who books you, I was caught doing a 101 in a 60 and the copper let me go with my bike however this was in May of 03 albeit with a $700 dollar fine.

But under hooning laws here in Qld the police can confiscate you bike/car for doing silly things on the road.

My friend who has a hotted up 1983 Commodore with some sort of ridiculous power plant had his confiscated for doing a burnout.

Hope the below helps

hey,
I knew someone who got caught doing 180km/h in a 100km zone, he just got a $700 and lost his licence for a loooong time.

read todays paper
the plod recently had to chase a P Plater up the Hume
He was clocked by a radar in a Hiway Patrol car just north of Melbourne
at 189kmh (in a 100 zone )
It took the Hiway Patrol car 14kmh to catch him
(just how fast was the Police car going???)
The P Plater got 18months loss of licence and a $700 fine
and did not go to gaol..



cheers

Ah yes, but what if you get caught doing 240 in a 80 zone.....

In victoria I'd be surprised if you didnt go to jail, or if they cops didnt shoot you

Don't know about Aus, but in UK only jail term I can remember for speeding was two guys that got clocked at over 150mph in a 70 limit. They spent 3 months inside.

The psss take was a few weeks after their court case a famous soccer player got caught 140mph while drunk and got a short ban and a fine.

guys..why risk it.....i got caught doin 260....at the end of the main straight as the dude on the cbr600rr race bike jumped in under brakes & squeezed it up the inside....im not silly enuf to do that kinda speed on the roads..take the tip!!

My mate at work was caught doing 180 in 60 zone. Apparently one must to go to court for this kind of offence. He paid $2000 fine and $3000 for lawyer.

I think being in court everything is up to the judge ?

Didnt that bloke in melb that got caught doing 200+ on the ring road get a 6 month sentence

duane ,in Victoria i heard it,s 3shot,s in the gut,s and one over the head!
