Mr Della Bosca had been driving on a probationary licence since the start of this year after accumulating demerit points for a number of speeding infringements.

But he received another infringement notice today.

“Today I advised the Roads and Traffic Authority that I was the driver and, as a result, I expect to lose my driver’s licence for six months,” Mr Della Bosca said.

“Although I have not yet received official notification about my licence status, I have ceased driving.

“I have personally paid all associated fines.

“I regret my carelessness and I can report that speed cameras are effective.”

Mr Della Bosca said he had also surrendered his entitlement to a ministerial vehicle.

However, he said he expected he would need some driving services over the six months in order to fulfil his ministerial duties.

NISSAN has smashed its own production car lap record at the famous Nordschleife circuit at the Nurburgring in Germany, achieving a lap time of seven minutes and 29 seconds during testing late last month - nine seconds faster than the previous test.

Nissan claims GT-R chief test driver Tochio Suzuki set the time in a base-specification version of the 353kW coupe, which is due on sale here in early 2009, fitted with standard tyres.

A performance benchmark for the world’s top sportscar manufacturers, the Nordschleife is a sinewy 20.8km stretch of forest road.

Suzuki-san, who also set the GT-R’s previous record, achieved the quicker time despite reportedly damp conditions on two corners. The 7:29 result is claimed to be one of the fastest laps ever achieved by a production car at the “green hell,” with unofficial timing placing the GT-R third behind the Porsche Carrera GT (7:28.0) and Pagani Zonda F (7:27.8).

“At last year’s testing, we were frustrated by the conditions at the Nurburgring, always believing that the GT-R could go under seven minutes 30 seconds,” said GT-R chief vehicle engineer Kazutoshi Mizuno. “Below seven minutes 30 seconds, the GT-R proves it is among the fastest mass-production cars in the world. We set out to build a multiperformance supercar accessible to anyone, anytime and anywhere - I believe the GT-R has delivered that promise.”

The lighter-weight, more track-oriented Spec V version understood to be in development should be even quicker.

It’s no fun calling dad after crashing his car - but it’s worse when you’ve just wrecked his prized Ferrari.

A Melbourne man had to make that call on Saturday night after destroying the front-end of his father’s ‘Italian Stallion’ in a very costly smash near Rod Laver Arena.

The front of the red sports car, which police said had been speeding, finished wrapped around a pole in the spectacular accident, which took place on Batman Avenue.

The young man behind the wheel was taken to hospital with minor injuries, but not before television crews filmed him ringing home.

The Nine Network last night reported the luxury car had suffered “extensive front-end damage”.

Ferrari 308 Crash - Targa Tasmania 2008

A $130,000 sportscar competing in Targa Tasmania has crashed out of the race — wiping out a farmer’s cow shed.

The 2005 Lotus Exige 240, driven by Deon Attard, 28, smashed into the shed on the Sideling stage on Day 2 of the five-day rally.

Attard and his navigator Erin Kelly, 24, both of Brisbane, escaped from the crash unharmed.

The Lotus came around the corner and hit a patch of oil which made it spin out of control at 120km/h. It left the road and crashed through a farmer’s fence about halfway between Launceston and Scottsdale.

The car flipped upsidedown and slid about 100m on its roof before crashing in to the farmer’s cow shed.

The farmer had only moved the cows from his shed this morning so they wouldn’t become unsettled by the Targa cars going past.

Earlier in the stage the leader of the rookie rally category, Queensland driver David Scott crashed his 2005 Subaru WRX, also on the Sideling stage.

A third car, a 1984 Porche 944, driven by Leigh Achterberg and Gerard McConkey, of Queensland, also crashed about 400m into the Sideling stage.

THE traditional roadside speed trap along with a dressing down by a police officer is disappearing fast as figures show police-issued speeding fines have plummeted by 44 per cent - or 158,000 - over the past four years.

Even on public holiday double-demerit weekends, when campaigns warn of enforcement, police are issuing about a third fewer fines than several years ago, figures show.

A Daily Telegraph investigation can reveal police issued just 202,850 speeding fines last year compared with 360,892 in 2003-04.

At the same time the number of fines issued by fixed speed cameras is soaring, putting highway patrol officers out of a job.

The number of fines issued by fixed speed cameras soared to 620,194 last year, doubling revenue in just 12 months, as dozens of new machines are used to enforce school zones.

NRMA president Alan Evans yesterday said the State Government was making a mistake if it was relying on fixed cameras to make the roads safer.

He said enforcement by police offered better road safety dividends than enforcement by fixed cameras.

“All the research shows that a police presence is the best deterrent,” he said.

There was little value in having a motorist find out weeks after an offence that they have been caught speeding by a fixed camera.

In the 30 days of double demerits in 2007, police issued 30,164 fines while speed cameras generated 42,494.

While the number of police-issued fines was fewer, the focus was on more serious speeding offences.

Police fines were worth $6,048,846 while the speed cameras had a total fine value of $4,421,386.

The Daily Telegraph was inundated with emails last month after revealing how 87 per cent of motorists caught speeding by fixed cameras last year were in breach of the minimum, exceeding the limit by less than 15km/h.

COLOUR: Metallic Black
KM: 154k

GEARBOX: 6 Speed man.

Condition: Excellent

Location: Adelaide
Name: Les
Contact: 0412 824 824

Description:
There were only 70 of these E34 540i made for Australia and they were each fitted with an individually numbered plaque #35 (under the handbrake lever).

They are similar in concept and execution to the 200 US M-Sport 540i’s and the 32 Canadian M540i’s produced in 1995.

All the 1995 M5 good bits (like full M5 suspension including switchable EDCIII struts, full M5 sports interior, etc), except for the motor and the body kit.

The M5’s smooth 210KW V8 is perfectly matched to the 6-speed amnual gearbox.

This car is a pleasure own and drive.
