Hey guys

My friend asked to drive my car so I let him. Anyway, he started to speed and instantly got flashed as he did so. Yeah he was stupid for doing that.. Anyway, I'm wondering how this affects me?

Does the demerit points + fine go to the driver of the vehicle at the time? Or goes to me as I'm registered under it. I mean, the fine will come to me but how do I get my friend to transfer the demerits HE got to him?

He offered to pay the fine so its fine, I'm just more worried about how it affects me, if at all.

Anyone with info or experience to this please let reply thanks

The fine will come to the person who is the registered owner of the car, as obviously the police have no way of knowing if someone else was driving the car at the time. Then, there is a section on the back where you nominate who was actually driving at the time, as far as i know you just need a few simple details plus their licence number.

Hope that helps

Cheers Cash. I was just a bit worried as I just got a new car and he was doing roughly 30-40km over limit and was worried about my license being suspended.

He's a close mate though so he's definitely willing to take the blame for everything. I just hope this incident doesn't touch my records!

just ring up the place where u have to pay it, you can tell them he was driving, and i guess he would have to confirm it, but shouldnt be a big drama, it happens alot, especially when people have too little points left, they just throw em on some-one else's licence

Ring them up when I get the fine right? Not before or anything? Also he got flashed but there were a few cars in the other lanes with him so I'm not 100% sure. Are his odds any good?

As the owner the fine will be sent in your name and you will need to fill out the Stat Dec section on the back nominating your friend as the driver and the fine will be re-issued in his name with demerit points and possible suspension. It will have no affect on your records once you nominate him.

If you ring them and say "I think I got my picture taken because i was speeding", ....that is as good as an admission of guilt. :happy:

Wait until the fine comes.

Don't pay it!.... once you've paid the fine, you've admitted to the offence.

Your friend may decide to contest any fine, ...eg: it may be his first offence and he may be able to ask that the fine be reduced to a warning based on previous good driving behaviour, or there may be other circumstances (other vehicles present as you mentioned) .......and there may not be any fine sent at all, so it's best to just wait and see.

If one comes, read the information on the fine, it will tell you what you have to do if you weren't the driver.

Follow those steps.

Good luck, and make sure that people drive safely when they're driving your car! :nyaanyaa:

Yep as they said you just have to fill out the statutory declaration (need his licence no. dwelling address. DOB and a few other details) then get it signed by a justice of peace, your law guy or someone else with legal authority (a chemist perhaps?) and mail it back. Then they'll send you a withdrawal notice and re-issue it to your mate

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
