    Traffic Infringement Dilemma

    in Victoria

    Posted

    with the p plates the charge i fought was kinda similar but to no evail...my rear p plate had slidden off the back window and fallen on the parcel shelf due to condnsation the judge basically said..it is my responsiblity to ensure the p plate is up at all time whether this means taping it up etc etc..im pretty sure he will say a similar thing to you.. i.e you know that you drive at speeds up to and including 100km/h and with your p plate no fastened securely it can easily be removed..this is your responsibility...

    Then why sell magnetic P-plates if they don't do the job??

    i believe the issue is the red light not the P plate.

    Actually, they're both the issues..

    umm tough luck with the p plates been there done that..and no love evn in court.. as far as the runnign an amber light goes if it was an amber light..what did you get fined for..speeding through the amber or actually runnin a red?? think if it was running the red with a truck depending on road condition you might have a chance..but if you sped up to get through i'd say no way in hell...also if I was you I wouldnt fight it yoursef..if your gonna fight it I recommend a solicitor..i've used my twice now both times with moderate sucess..and the time I took my own case to court I was torn apart by the police prosecutor...

    their not dogs they are doing their job..so then again if you had have ran a red light with a medium rigid truck at say 80clicks and hit another vehicle...manslaughter or reckless driving could be more the case..so to be honest i'd cop the fine on the chin..take your 1 year good behaviour..and be thankful more didnt come of it..but of course it really depends what grounds you have..

    i mean a mate of mine got done for running a red light whilst moving out of the way of an ambulance..unfortunatly the law reads something along the lines of only move out of an emergency vehicles way if it is safe to do so...runnign a red light and sticking your nose into an intersection is considered not safe..he got fined and took it to court..unfrotunatly the wording of the law has cost him his last 3 demerit points also..

    If I weren't to display P-plates, NONE would be displayed. The front ones were there, the rears were taken by the winds I'm guessing..

    I got fined for not obeying traffic signals..

    He saw the lights were amber but he thinks I could stop on time. It turned red when I was halfway through it.

    I didn't speed through it, just braked a bit and thought no way I could stop without locking up so I picked it up to 80 clicks again.

    I just see it as being extremely harsh since it's 1:15am with barely no one around and my first offenses.

    your best bet is to get your run sheet/manifest of the weight you had on and go to court, had another driver that had this problem, he wrote a letter and it made no difference, when he went to court they gave him a warning (but he is 50 and never even had a parking fine), you will find most of the time unless you have some sort of evidence they will side with the cops, also as a lot of cops have mic's on them and are filming from the car if you admitted fault your screwed.

    but by all means get everything you can that says you were fully loaded.

    as for the points, i am on the 1 point probation and i go up and down the hume all week, bastards are a lot better at hiding up there.

    I don't have any information on how much the freight weighed on my truck.. The only information I have is that I had 9 spots on the truck.

    I wasn't fully loaded but some of the small pallets were steel, which weighed the truck down.

    The wind doesn't help much either!

    Didn't admit any faults.. Thought they would've just given me a warning as I have a clean driving record.. Motherf**kers! They're all DOGS!

    I would, I'd say in your situation driving a laden? truck in wet conditions you'd be in a better position than anyone else in regards to whether you could have stopped safely or not.

    What do you mean "driving a laden"?

    I really can't remember if it was wet, I just remember that it was BLOODY windy that night and me coughing my guts out..

    I couldn't even do 100km/h when I left the depot because it was so windy..

    As the topic says, I have a little bit of a dilemma...

    Thurs morning, I was traveling towards Geelong in a medium-rigid truck.

    As I was coming up towards Plantation Road on the Princes Highway, the lights turn amber.

    From my judgment, I HAD to keep going or I would've locked up my wheels.

    Cops decide to pull me over near the McDonald's after 2 sets of lights.

    By that same p**ck, I got pinned for not having my rear P-plates displayed (magnetic plates and wind speed of up to 100km/h aren't good), but the front was displayed.

    My question now is should I write a letter to Civic Compliance and the Penalty Review Board about this or should I just take the matter into court?

    This is 6-demerit points which leaves me negative 1 now - either way I HAVE TO fight it!

    I have a clean driving record for the last 2 and a half years.

    Thanks in advanced for your support.

    Corio as in Geelong? But Monash freeway? Where abouts are you talking??

    Yeah, I remember going into that Maccas once before when I was coming back from Colac and it says Corio.

    Took me a while to find out what you were talking about..

    You know it as the Princes Highway I believe??

    Monash Freeway / West Gate Freeway / Princes Freeway are all the same freeway - the "M1" but just different names.

    btw, I'm not from Geelong, I just drive into Geelong some nights for work.

    Also, was that your Skyline??
