If you contest a fine (speeding, accident, hooning, etc) in court and lose the case, it will go down on your criminal record. Thus everytime I get fined I cough up the coin and never contest.

Not so.

I've contested numerous fines and traffic offenses.

Having a "Criminal Record" means you have been convicted of a crime. Not an offense against the road traffic act. (someone with a better understanding law might be able to phrase this better than myself)

Hmm I see. Did you lose a few of those cases?I'm just going off what an older officer I know told me. He's been in the force pretty much most of his life, so I'm just saying what he told me. :S If anyone else 'knows someone' maybe we could get a second opinion on it.

The cop is full of crap like 95% of them are... so you fight a speeding fine in court and they say you have to pay it and now you can not get a job cause you have a speeding ticket... umm i dont think so.

Ok ppl pipe down ok, and get ur facts straight.... No i am not gonna get a criminal record.. don' be stupid. Dangerous driving is not worse that wrekless...

Take in mind im not on p's and this is my first time in court

Wreckless - The courts must give 6months suspenstion

Dangerous - Up to judge could be 3months or just a fine

OK ppl thats wat it is.

So yes opions welcome but calm down. Im not saying im inocent. But, Im guessin not one person on this forum can say they have neva done a burnout. I know i have done wrong and yes i got caught, so i will have some sort of fine. The only thing i was saying is, thinking of the upside, i didn't do it on the road, i was only endagering my self, coz there was nobody around. THATS why the lawyer said he believes ive been wrongly charged.

Lost them all :devil:

Being found guilty of an offense in a court is exactly the same as paying the fine when it arrives in the mail (admitting guilt) - No criminal record either way.

Sometimes paying the $60 court costs (as I lost) just to have your case heard is worth it :P

The police will try pin anything on anyone if the give the slightest admittance of guilt.

1st time I got pulled over, I had a Sgt yell in my face at 5.20pm trying to get me to confess to doing a burnout that happened at 6.00am (when that day I woke up at 7.00am to go to tafe at 7.45am) when I denied it the first time, he said that "all these people witnessed it" pointing to the road crew, I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He searched to car bumper to bumper and found nothing wrong with it.

When I went to leave he did the whole macho cop thing saying that I was on "the list" now, and that anytime a cop saw me or my car they would pull it over and search it.

What a load of crap that was,

i do have my facts straight.

dangerous driving is worse, u can lose ur license for up to 12months and fined up to 2k & it goes on ur criminal record.

True with dangerous if the judge is nice, he can let u off without loss of licence and a minimum of $6## fine and u have to pay $200 court costs.

wreckless is lose licence and fine.

u decide which is worse, i'd rather not have a criminal record.

been there done that
