Best driving Record on FF.

4Vman · 30-01-2008, 04:55 PM

Ok.. i'll go against the trend of "sook and moan" threads and start a positive one:
Who's got the best driving record here? Years of driving, approximate number of K's over that period, number of at fault accidents and number of speeding or driving infringements.

For me:

Driving for 22 years, 1 speeding fine less than 15 over, no at fault accidents and travelled approximately 600,000 K's over those 22 years..

Others?

Could be a cabbie... Although 110 million k's is a bloody lot of driving! (I suspect he means 110 or 120 thousand)

A quick question if you were to lose your bike license becos of speeding,
do you lose your drivers license as well?

In Vict - yes, as it is all one licence, not sure about NSW.

Unfortunately you do.

TadKa · 30-01-2008, 05:06 PM

I'm not quite as good but driving 7 years. about 160,ks. 1 at fault accident (first year crap tires wet road) 1 warning for speeding.
I had 1 other speeding fine but they put the wrong date on and had to withdraw it.

Trevor 57 · 30-01-2008, 05:06 PM

Well I am old, and I was a full time truck driver, but I will give it a go.

Licenced (and only time) back in 1975.

Never lost licence.

God, I wouldn't even hazard a guess at kilometres travelled, but I now do about 600k's per week on average.

Last traffic offence was a speeding fine back in about 1998 I guess.

Had a few before then, nearly all heavy vehicle related, no speeding in trucks though.

At a a guess I reckon I have had about 3 or 4 speeding fines my whole driving career, all under 15k's over the limit, that much I do remember.

Had a few ugly prangs back in the real early days, some my fault, some not, no-one hurt though.

EDIT: I actually got a real dodgy overtaking on double lines ticket back in about 1998 as well, I challenged it, took it to court and got a no recorded conviction, no fine.

TheSneakiness · 30-01-2008, 05:09 PM

Licensed late 01 I think???

:

No speeding fines, no accidents. Only been fined for tailgating and excess noise.

Trevor 57 · 30-01-2008, 05:10 PM

My brother-in-law was a taxi owner for about 4-5 years and has been a truck driver for about 10+ years and got his first ticket last year, wrote a letter and got it squashed with a slap on the wrist, not bad for a bloke of 46 I reckon.

Fairlane · 30-01-2008, 05:16 PM

Driving for 4 years over 250,000klms.

Zero Accidents
Zero Speeding Tickets
Zero Parking Tickets

Rating 1 for Insurance.

XRTickfordNZ · 30-01-2008, 05:20 PM

Ok ummmm,

I was a little naughty when I first got my license.

Driving 12 years

Disqualified ( loss of license ) from driving 4 times ( 3 from careless use of a vehicle, 1 from demerit points ), 5 speeding fines, About $9000 worth of fines ( no rego or wof, bald tyres, carrying passengers on restricted license, speeding etc ). I know, young and dumb.

1 accident, my fault showing off with friends and slammed my MK 3 GT cortina into a hedge ( 10 years ago ). I dont know ks, probably over 400,000kms.

Cleaned my act up a number of years ago now and have not had a fine since.

My last fine was in 2001.

sgt_doofey · 30-01-2008, 05:29 PM

I guess I've been driving 14 years.
No fines (unless you count a council issued parking fine)
3 warnings.
As for kms, if I assume on average 20,000kms per year, that would be... ummm... carry the one... add 7...
roughly 280,000kms.

Oh, no at fault accidents. A couple of bingles that weren't my fault.

Buddy 1 · 30-01-2008, 05:28 PM

Driving legally nearly 30 years & can add a few years to that as used to drive a paddock basher from the age of 12 or so as well.

2 accidents not my fault.

4 or 5 speeding fines & lost licence once for doing a burnout in front of police (did not know they were there as they were hiding in the dark lol) & then losing them when they chased only to be dobbed in by one of my rear seat passengers who was a friend of a friend :(

That was long ago & these Days I am a good Boy (mostly).

MotherNatureVer2 · 30-01-2008, 05:30 PM

Driving 25yrs, no fines, no accidents, no loss of license......... couldnt hazard a guess at the amount of K's ..... a lot though as most my driving is out in the bush.

XA-Coupe · 30-01-2008, 05:31 PM

22 years, no fines except parking fines ..
As for Ks .. who knows ...lots and lots... did 18,000 in the first 6 months of my XR8 ownership alone.

3 fines in AU ( I ride bikes as well ) close to 1.4 million k driven in 39 years ( it's more but better to say low)

yakcam · 30-01-2008, 06:05 PM

I got my license when I was 15, got my first speeding ticket about 3 or 4 months into it. The cop told me it was an instant fine, I freaked out because it was my brothers car and if he found out I was speeding in it he would kick my B-hind (He's 14yrs older than me and was like a Dad to me, since I lost mine). I went straight the the ATM and got out the money and spent the next couple of hours trying to find out where to pay this "Instant fine", I started freaking out and went to the Police station (Traffic cops and Police were a completely different departments in those days) The Police officers behind the counter laughed at me and said the I had 28 days to settle it :lookedat: I felt like such a fool. That was my first, then I moved to Aus and got one while trying not to be late for work when I was 21 (1990) I haven't had an infringment since, although I've been pulled over many times, I've driven an XA/B series coupe since I moved here.

Cheers,

Kraig

Scott · 30-01-2008, 06:13 PM

~1.5 million k's, 12 years, 2 single vehicle acco's, 1 nose to tail bumper bender. Tickets = more than most I guess but in alignment with the k's I've covered.

Feathers · 30-01-2008, 06:31 PM

My Grandfather got his licence in 1934, then went into the army as a mechanic and truck driver from 1939 to 1948.
When he came back he became a taxi driver until he retired in 1978.
I'm not even going to hazard a guess as to how many K's he did during that time.

When he finally had to hand in his licence last year aged 89, he still had a perfect driving record. Not even a parking fine.
