I am *SO* glad I moved out of NSW when I was 9 !!!!!
The judge i had told me that the speed i was clocked at has a penalty of 9 months jailaardvark wrote:I believe the penalty in NSW for exceeding the speed limit by more 45km/h or more is:
Maximum fine of $2200 and minimum six months loss of licence.
However, I believe in NSW there is a scheme for those deemed to be habitual offenders. A habitual offender is someone who accumulates 3 convictions for serious offence within 5 years.
A serious traffic offence includes; driving at a dangerous speed or in a dangerous manner, furious driving, reckless driving, menacing driving, negligent driving where death or grievous bodily harm is occasioned, drink and drug driving offences, fail to stop and give assistance in an accident involving death or injury, driving whilst disqualified, cancelled, suspended or refused, or a conviction for an offence of exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h or a conviction for unlicensed, never licensed.
So, if you get caught 3 times in 5 years committing any of the above offences, then the penalty will be at the discretion of the courts.
During sentencing, the courts will take into account other things such as your criminal history, traffic history, good behaviour etc.
