Yep - lost mine for 3 months for speeding within my first year of driving. Never lost it since (and you now know how long that is,
cove 
).
My nice new white secondhand car in Perth has front and rear radar/laser detection seeing we live in Western Australia where it is legal. The system reports red light and speed cameras as well.
Naturally I have tried hard to keep my 12 points intact and so far so good.
It was really funny that we were at the same primary school only 55 years ago JohnM. Now that is a coincidence to meet up thru AFF.
Not only same school but same class!
Small world,
We were having a chat at work, one of the younger accounts staff is looking to go away traveling around Europe next year and a few of us said you should do that while still young, I think her dads response that she should put the money towards a house.
And the discussion went on to talk about different websites like couch surfing and you never know who you might meet, then I mentioned what I had read on a travel website today where 2 people had met after so many years and were in the same primary school class.
That reminded one of the staff of an occurrence a few years ago, one of the staff was shopping with her mum they are from Zimbabwe, the daughter has been in Perth for about 10 years but her mum had at the time around 2009 only just arrived in Australia, at Coles in WA and probably other places in Australia they have older staff working the different sections, they usually have older staff working the fruit and vegetable section at my local Coles and so the staff member heard the accent and the younger one(the staff member at the new company I worked with got talking and found they were from the same town, and then they compared names and then they realized after calling over her mum that she might recognize the names of different friends due to the age difference and found out her mum and shop assistant went to the same primary school in Zimbabwe, before each of them had moved out to Australia at different times.
Her mum and the Coles staff have become good friends and talk regularly.
Sometimes you get coincidences in life that you cannot plan, and then work out whether they might lead someone, at the end of the discussion go and meet new people and travel you might never know who you might meet.
Sorry to get off track, I guess this is the, "the-totally-off-topic-thread.
WA must be the windiest place in the planet, its windy at the weirdest time just not when I am on a boat wanting wind.
