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

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
