Another Police Question

[fragz013]

Now about a month ago i got done for speeding and lost my license and issued with a $1642 fine.

A week or 2 later i was reading my fine and discovered they had spelt my surname wrong,

im just wondering if there is any provision for me to get out of paying my fine or anything?

No

Most definately not as they still would have put your licence number, card number, registration etc etc...

i remember i got a ticket where they wrote my birthdate as the date of the offence. it's still on my fridge

[sh@un]

did you pay it?

theres been alot of talk lately about the rta adding three extra days to the suspension notice and apparently if that has happened it means the suspension is illegal and void. but i would be grabbing my keys and jump out driving even if this is the case..

oooo dunno.. find out if you're actually suspended... if you're caught driving suspended you'll probably lose your license, they may take you to court, not to mention huge fines.. I'd rather spend that money on mods for my car...

Don't try it.

The case only applies to certain suspensions and the loophole was closed late last month when it came under the spotlight.

I guess in my case its pretty obvious,as they took my license off me on the spot.

Also does any one know how long my suspension will be for?i know its at least 6 months,but when i was pulled over

i only had 1 demerit point remaining.So will i loose it for an extra 3 months or more on top of the 6 or what happens there?

cheers.

To answer your questions

Six months for the speed and another three for the demerit points. Nine months.

its amazing what you can get away with. i was driving with a mate not too long ago who had no licence (nor did I) anyway we were only travelling about 10 mins up the road when we caught up to a police car who all of a sudden slowed from 60km down to 40km we followed for about 500m up the road when all of a suddenn another cop car pulls out of a side street behind us.

the cop behind puts his lights on and we pull over. cops do their usual RBT story and then ask us to wait while they check the car and his licence. they come back with the news that he has no licence. he played dumb quite well telling the officer there must be some sort of mistake.

so after about half an hour of the cops calling the station and the rta and a whole bunch of bulls**t from my mate they actually let hime get back in the car and drive away. he somehow convinced them that he wasnt dumb enough to be driving a skyline with no licence and it seemed to work.

so idunno how it worked but it did. guess they just coulnt be bothered trying to prove he didnt have a licence.
