The 30km I travel on Springvale Rd everyday would have to be pretty decent experience. Multiple intersections, intersections with railway lines and multiple padestrian crossings, Freeway on and off ramps, God only knows how many Speed Limit changes, and some are variable. The add in the Traffic, which is all kinds.

Ha Ha not saying I do it or condone it but where have you been dude? Dont tell me this is a big deal and you've hardly seen it before? Especially at that time of the morning. You should drive down Princess Hwy or Nepean Hwy at that time of the morning on a weekend. Every set of lights is like the Bathurst 1000..Been going on for years and years..Funny part is I dont recall any of them killing people..Not defending it...Just like to state the truth and not what i read in newspapers who love to sell a paper or print that every single accident that happens is speed related. Its not just common sense its logic. |

i'm pretty sure that a p plater would'nt be allowed to drive an evo5 in victoria with the power to weight laws. i've been driving home every night for the past 8 months on the monash and noone does the speed limit (including me) but 10ks over is a bit different to about 50. when they blitz it again they're going to have a ball. and if you ignore the danger side of it they take your car for speeds like that now in victoria.

Could you imagine the carnage there would have been if the driver was distracted and lost control at the speed they were travelling. Not too hard to be distracted, even travelling at the reduced limit with all the signs, vehicles with flashing amber lights and persons walking around in reflective clothing, I know i have been. |

We have no power restriction laws for p platers here in canberra yet. So there are a fair amount of p plated nice cars.
I've seen a black evo 9 p plated car. lucky kid!!

There is an unmarked mitsubishi 380 getting around Canberra. There might be more than one cause I seem to see this car all the time. It is dark blue with tinted windows and little blue and red lights in the back window.

i was driving in peak time (as peak as it gets in shepp) and i was at the front of the intersection, (right lane, going straight) there was a truck next to me and an AU XR8 in the far left turning lane, this woman (45ish) in the XR cuts the truck off before the end of the intersection and starts to weave through traffic at 100+ in a 50 zone. she eventually met her match when she collected the front Tow ring on an old bedford truck... one less XR8 on the road, she learnt this lesson the hard way, but probably the only way she would...
dont know what relevence this has but its very similar, im just glad she learnt this lesson and didnt take out a few innocent people...

In my opinion if it's 1am with not many cars on the road who cares it's only 150km and the evo's are meant to do much faster than that. If it was some one doing those speeds in a holden barina it'd be a different story.

Anyone see the stacked EVO on the news tonight? It seems this guy hit a few other cars and then fled the scene.
