Recommended Posts

I was starting work at 5.30 am so i thought i will take my car as i had no means to get there.That went well, but on my way home i was pulled over for a rendom check.I expalained that i was on suspension and that i had no means to get to work.To that copper didint seem to be touched, however he was really decent, didnt show emotions but expalined that i will need to go to court. I was curious and wanted to find out what the outcome could be, he responded that i might get licence suspension extended or might get away with it.I had never been convicted or engaged in any criminal act appart from speeding fines and i supose current suspension.He also took my details down on a piece of paper and didnt hand over anything to me. I am just wondering what are the possible outcomes for this.Please help as i am very desperate

You will probably recieve a summons to appear at court being charged with driving while on a suspended license. If it is a charge and your found guilty, it will go on your criminal record and they usually double the license suspension time (e.g. if youre on 3 months suspension, they will put an extra 6 months on).

Good luck with it.

just hope he has a really busy month. but if come next week he has nothing to do, he will go through his notebook and start issuing those notices he hadn't got around too. all i can say is driving while suspended is not a good idea no matter what the circumstances. it's always best to wait it out.

my mate lost his licence three times, got caught drink driving while suspended...... he cried in court and the judge let him off....

i would have sent him to jail just for crying!

dunno bout VIC, but in SA our jails are full, so petty crimes will not get u a ticket into one. You wont go for jail man, just get used to public transport/treadly

I had never been convicted or engaged in any criminal act appart from speeding fines and i supose current suspension.

This means you have a driving record.

You have enough of a bad driving history that you had your licence suspended.

When you go to court, it is your previous driving record that will be scruitinized, not "other criminal history".

You chose to drive suspended rather than going through the proper channels, which would possibly have allowed you to still be able to drive to and from work while under "suspension".

in SA our jails are full, so petty crimes will not get u a ticket into one.

Some states don't consider driving unlicenced and uninsured to be "petty", especially when the person is a repeat offender/has traffic history.

I've been pulled over a few times over the years for various offenses and like you had the officer note my details saying they'll be in touch but no ticket ect on the spot..happily on all ocassions I never heard another thing, alot of that probably comes down to attitude with a more than moderate dose of luck. I hope you have the same luck, but I feel the seriousness of your offence will warrant further action and will most probably not just disappear. You should have applied for that exemption!!!

    • Yours would only have been worse, because I've spent 2 weeks cleaning mine. And yet it barely looks any different... Ha ha ha The work bench is unusable as things are stacked so high on it, as it down each walk way between the cars. And on one of them. And inside the other... And under one of them... These days when working in the garage, I need to roll the Subaru out. Because the "workshop" portion is just so full of stuff... To do anything means to move lots of stuff...   But I recently got rid of a full rack of fish tanks, and a few more. Then have started just throwing shit that's actual rubbish. And trying to sort everything else! Ha ha ha   Needing to move the Lathe into its proper spot, and then move all the other gear like the press, compressors, welding trolleys.   And let's not talk about the camping gear... I want to get rid of it, the GF wants to go camping... I think I'm getting to old to want to camp these days   Oh, I also evicted a few things, like the motorbike outside ages ago too! Ha ha ha This is all in a 6x9
    • The end of 2024 fast approaches!!! So before the 'storm' hits, we think it's worth enjoying a little 'calm'! How better to enjoy some calm with a chill social out at Aqua Golf! So without any ado, here are the details: Date: Saturday 26th October 2026 Location: Aqua Golf - Penrith Panthers Time: 5:00pm Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-aquagolf All you need to do is bring yourselves down to Penrith Panthers to come and say "HI", hang out, and maybe hit a few golf balls at the drive range. Who knows where the night may take us... What we do know is that there are plenty of food options available at the Penrith Panthers complex. For those of us keen to hit a few golf balls, prices start from $7.00 a bucket. Aqua Golf is open til late, so we have plenty of time to have a few hits and laughs with each other! This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts.
