    Got my first speed ticket 60km/h

    in Wellington / Kapiti

    Posted

    I am very sorry I started this thread as I really don't drive my Subaru irresponsible and I assumed full blame for my ticket.

    I didn't really notice as well the precise speed so I checked the ticket again and it was 62km/h precisely. While I was driving I really didn't notice that I could be above the speed limit on that road since it was very open and clear of cars.

    Find the photo here:

    Once again, sorry about all this.

    Loner,

    At first I was not even going to reply, but because you are so toxic and make this community look like hostile to newcomers like me, I should let you know about it.

    You know nothing about myself and you told me to "use my brain" in this thread and "keep mar car covered in a garage" in another thread to not have to wash it. This is ridiculous, it doesn’t help at all.

    I didn't get my license yesterday mate, I've being driving for 13 years already, I arrived from overseas and was just new in town.

    Yes I made a mistake to "speed" within the city, I assumed that. I wonder if you never ever went over the speed limit? If you didn’t get caught, good for you.

    Communities like this should be a place you can talk/share whatever the **** you want, that's why I did it, so please use your brains to understand that.

    lols. everyone jumping to his defence... it's funny that people complain about there being no fun or drama in the forum anymore,

    but when anyone tries to give anyone any ****, even if deserved, then the same people turn into the Police and make everyone play nice.

    I don't care that this guy was speeding... but what he said was well deserving of some ****. Just got his licence but doesn't know the

    speed limit in a city... wonders if there is some device to help control his speed... come on!

    Car Washing

    That is sad :(

    I was living in Germany and they have huge self-service facilities with everything you need and you pay like 10 euros to use.

    Back in Brazil, we have some dudes at the gas stations that wash your car like their own and you pay like, 10 dollars.

    I guess I'll try that machine I saw in Petone, and buy a cordless vacuum cleaner :)

    Unfortunately no, there's no self-service washing facilities in Wellington / surrounding areas. You'll need to find someone friendly who will lend you their driveway / street parking and use their water.

    I wish there was a Washworld here somewhere, but alas, no such luck.

    Hey,

    Since I live in an apartment and I have no garage, are there any cheap places I could wash my car in Wellington/Lower Hutt?

    I've seen one machine in a Gas Station in Petone once, but I'm not sure if that could damage the car somehow, anyone has been using it?

    Any tips how to keep your Subaru clean and tidy without spending a fortune? :)

    Cheers!

    3 weeks driving and I got my first speed ticket at Evan's Bay Parade...

    Unfortunately, I didn't notice I was above 50km/h, which the officer explained is the limit within the city :(

    $80 bucks for speeding 60km/h, well lesson learned!

    I wonder if there is a way to have a speed limiter in a Legacy, I remember a friend of mine had that in a Honda Fit, and every time he entered the city he would set it to 50km/h

    Any ideas?

    Shaking steering wheel when breaking/turning

    in Legacy & Outback

    In a straight line I don't feel it shaking.

    I didn't use the breaks in anger I guess, what would that mean? Like breaking really hard?

    If the steering is "wobbling" when you are turning and braking it could be a build up of pad material on the disc..

    Does it do it when you brake in a straight line ?

    Have you used the brakes in anger since you bought car ?
