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.

normaly you are sent to jail for a 1 month sentence if you are caught for the 3rd time whilst suspended.

so dont stress about that.

as long as i dont go to jail, i have really learnt my lesson, im in victoria and i am really freaking out to be honnest

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

as long as i dont go to jail, i have really learnt my lesson, im in victoria and i am really freaking out to be honnest

yah dont stress too much, my dads a copper and that what he said.

chancer are youll get licence suspended for an extra 6 months plus fines, and thats it

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!!!

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 馃槈
