Stall, time is your friend. Stall as much as you can, for as long as you can. Under no circumstances do you want to go to court while you are still disqualified. The record I have seen is 2 years, it was hard work but it was done.

If you do get a summons, wait until about a week before the court date and then request an adjournment at the local court house. The idea is to stall until you get you licence back, the golden rule is don't get busted for anything else when you do get your licence back. Then get you boss to write a note saying that you HAD to work. Get a copy of the bus and train timetable showing that you couldn't get to work without driving. Obtain a copy of the act removing the "drive for work rule". Submit it all as evidence, say you have learnt your lesson, you have been a good boy since you got your licence back etc etc. That's why you stall, so you get a clean driving period.

Then cop whatever the magistrate hands out on the chin. Whatever you do don't EVER drive without a licence again, you will go to jail.

:( cheers :(

They usually ask to see your drivers licence.

In NSW they just check that you have it on you... they don't run it on the system or anything so you would have to tell them you where suspended for them to know lol!... most of the time they ask if you have it and if you say yes that's enough, they don't even wanna see it.

hey man, that no longer works.

The offence is from the date of the offence not the date you are sent the infringement.

so that wont work

and also, in VIC the judge will tell say you should have thought about it before you where speeding, you cant get anything to drive to work and back anymore.

I would say, not to sweat too much about it, as it wont change the outcome of the day, for simple offense like driving whilse suspended, isn't a big deal, you prolly get a junior prosecutor up there trying to sent you to jail, but it depends on the mood of the magistrate on the day, sometimes you get your license back and some time you end up walking for a fair while, but going to jail for driving whilse suspended is unheard of with our legal system and i beg to be proven wrong. ppls who get sent to the slammer for that very offense prolly has already had an illustrious driving record. ie. Dui on multiple occasion and stuff like that.

So don't panic and just go on with your life as normal and don't be silly the next time. Get a pushy if you really have to.

Mate unfortunantly i have a shady driving history and i can tell you now if he didnt give you anything and you didnt sign anything your sweet.

I think the copper you got was a decent bloke and that was his way of punishing you by making you sweat.

I wouldnt stress over it. I got a court notice that had wrong apperance date and had my name spelt wrong. I got off scott free. So you think you have dramas?

Couldnt be bothered reading everything but if the officer was very polite about the manner and you were too and he didnt give you a fine or a CAN then usually this is when they turn the blind eye and let you go with you still leaving a stain in your pants. :)

My friend lost his licence. So before he went to give it in he went to vicroads and said he lost it. They gave him another one. He payed like $20, handed that one in and kept his original one lol. He still drives everywhere though. He is lucky so for.

This happened to me.

I got myself a bloody good lawyer and the end result was just a $700 with no extra suspension, however my reason to drive whilst disqualified was somewhat of an emergency.

I think the excuse of getting to work wont get you off on this one. They'll use the argument that the detriment to work was the concequence of your offence.

Good luck mate, your end result will depend highly on the judge's character and attitude aswell.

He is trying to say that it will look a lot better if you have at least a short period of good driving to back up your statements of "I'm a good boy your honour" .

And then you can also claim that you need your license for work, but you can't claim that if you are still suspended.

my good mate just recently got caught driving to work while he was on a 3 month suspension. He went to caught saying that he really needed to get to work as he missed the bus etc... and expected to get a 6month suspension at the worse and the dumb f**k qld judge gave him TWO f**kING YEARS on suspension!!! so my balls would be in my throat if i was you.

no jail but not having a licence sor two yrs is nearly as bad, lol

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By sonicii · Posted

      The existing factory sub feed should already have a sum of L+R and a low pass filter, so it probably isn't necessary to take another L and R feed from the HU.  If it didn't have a factory sub output, then that would be the best option though. Does your new amp not have speaker level inputs?  that would eliminate the need for the speaker - line level converter completely.

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The query here, is how do you arrange all of your spares and other random items? And then, what do you do, if you think you're hitting that point where you won't need them any more?   So, but of background; I've had lots of different cars, and tinkered with lots of cars over the last 18 odd years. In addition, I have a habit of ending up with things, I'll now never need again. For example, for the R33, I've got a side mount intercooler, and a GTR front mount cooler, as well as random items like aftermarket cam gears, starter motors, power steering pumps, and even things as random as the really small fuse box, that sits right beside the battery.  So firstly, I've got a lot of stuff right there, that I'll never need again, as I'm not playing street/stock cars. So, I probably need to clear some items out, and at the same time, I hate Facebook Market place and dealing with people. So other than throwing this stuff out, how do you guys deal with it? Do you have a similar stash of parts hidden away taking up space?   So then the next part is, I have lots of stuff like aluminium pipe to make inlets from, lots and lots of electrical stuff too for making custom wiring looms, and so many random things. How do you guys organise all of your stuff? I've moved a lot, and lots of my stuff was just in random cardboard and plastic boxes, that were starting to fall apart! Lots of it was stacked on shelves in said boxes, and I've just gotten new shelving, and I'm re arranging the garage to fit some new (to me) large tools in. That means I'm presently opening boxes, being ruthless and ditching the trash (I think about 30 cables that would suit a TV/Desktop PC went in the bin alone!). However, now I've got parts laying in the middle of the garage floor while I work out how to store them on shelves. The shelves are all high, so if I lay all the parts out nicely on shelving, I lose heaps of space. But if I shove them all back in boxes, I'm back to square one!   So what mysterious and creative storage solutions have you come up with? That is other than making the garage bigger, and buying more shelving, and pushing this problem back another 5 to 10 years...   Oh, and lots of things I have, are for projects I want to do one day, or am slowly doing too... The 80HDs can make life hard sometimes... So more storage space probably isn't the best idea...   Let's add another random question too, how much space is being taken up in your workshop/garage from parts you bought years ago, and still haven't fitted? Example, I have a brand new Safari Snorkel for the LandCruiser, and a box of RedArc gauges.    Since November of 2016...

      So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.
