Yes, I'd be asking for more details, including a police and witness reports. If you were supposedly involved in a failure to stop accident, you might ask also why the police haven't paid you a visit (although if its anything like our local they are probably too busy eating donuts). You might like to consider a trip to your local chamber magistrate to get their opinion on where you should go next. Unless you get a cranky old so and so, they can be very approachable and helpful.

Mate, thats dreadful luck, but depending upon your circumstances, I feel you are very able to fight it, at least to the extent that you can keep your licence. This all, of course, depends on your prior driving record as well. If you are a regular speeder (or should I say, get caught regularly), then no chance, but if your record is good, give it a try - its worth it. For starters you are an experienced driver, with good knowledge of the road, its conditions, your vehicle and its capabilities, at a time of day with lighter traffic. Add to this the government try and talk up speed cameras as a deterent and warning system, not as a revenue raiser, you could quite easily argue that getting done twice by the same camera in such a short period does not give you time to get your 'warning' - plus the fact that it was a recent change of speed limit. I think as a minimum you could quite easily get one of them reversed, allowing you to keep your licence. I don't for one minute agree with 'speeding', but I do believe one can exceed the speed limit and still remain safe and in control. I also absolutely disagree with someone who has a good driving record loosing their licence simply because their indiscretion happen to fall on a public holiday. Best of luck!

Its just like on the beach, a million miles of sand and some moron and their half a dozen ankle biters have to sit within peeing distance of you

Any other suggestions for similar style hulls? Surely the Proline isn't the only basic V nose around? There seem to be a tonne of small manufacturers that I probably haven't heard of.

Whats your general location mate? Southern Sydney, West etc? Just so we can keep a more informed lookout if ads get put up somewhere, the location might help.

Hi all, Been watching for a while but its about time I posted. I sold my old runabout a few years back as it was a bit 'in between' - forward steer but not big enough for anything but the calm river. Anyway, it was either get a bigger boat or a more open boat, and since I'm not a big water person I'd prefer a small open boat for rivers, creeks etc. I'm assuming the Hornet/Edgetracker style hull is the better all round style for stability with decent ride as well? How does the flatter bottom handle wash from the big cruisers that are around - is it likely to throw the little Vnose (I assume these are what they call V nose punt?) around a bit if we are anchored or drifting/trolling somewhere? But my main question is since I really don't have the dough to purchase a fully setup bass/bream boat, I'd like to purchase a suitable very bare hull and do everything myself. Are their particular manufacturers that do a very basic unpainted Vnose in at least 4m - 4.4m? I want that size as there is usually going to be 2 people fishing, my father and I, he is getting older and I am 120kg - and most of them I've seen tend to be the little 3.4 or similar - no thanks. Thanks for reading. Oh, and in case my username doesn't give it away, I fish the wonnie (landbased at the moment, obviously)
