LOL, save your coin for a deadly treadly

wow is it school holidays already?

You should have been charged under hoon laws and your car impounded for 7 days on the spot, with a $1,500 court appearance down tha track and your licnse suspended for 1 year + based on the facts presented. I know of guys who have had this done to them for much less than you describe - and they were on their full license.

We as a Skyline community don't need tossers doing squeelies and making cops think all of us are hoons. Nice work there champ.

Oh, and if it comes down to a well trained and respected police officer's facts - or those of some punk kid he caught doing the the wrong thing, who do you think a judge is going to believe?

[2FST4U.R33]

yeah you lost your license for

1. going over 10kms over the speed limit (instant loss of license if on p's)

2. probs something to do with anti hoon laws as well

love these threads, they seem to becoming more regular

can you take it to court? yes.

will you win? i have my doubts.

will you get sympathy here? no

on the plus side you could get 1 of those kick ass bikes with the motors

Hi guys, i would like to ask you for your advice.

About an hour ago, the local constabulary pulled me over for "making unnecessary wheel noise", "driving without control" and "exceeding the speed limit". I was travelling at 80 kph in a 60 kph zone

I'm on my P plates, I only have two demerit points remaining. I know I'm probably going to lose my license, but is "making unnecessary wheel noise" and "driving without control" a demerit point loss or not?

If they send me a letter saying I have lost my license for speeding, then can I take it to court and ask the hopefully very forgiving judge "where is the proof that i was travelling at 80kph"?

One police officer pulled me over and said "You were speeding", which i wasn't. I accidentally got a little bit of wheel spin out of a corner, that's what the "unnecessary wheel noise" and "driving without control" is for, but I don't think i was travelling at 80 kph.

I was hoping to get some advice from those of you who have been in a smiliar situation.

Thank you, kind sirs.

Oh, and if it comes down to a well trained and respected police officer's facts

You did something wrong, cop it on the chin and be a man about it! Not gonna get any sympathy here mate!

[Krishy]

oh not again....mate if you had wheelspin means that it would most likely be deliberate IMHO....so cop it and try not to do it again please....i am pretty sure that there are plenty of people here with double heck triple your power and still dont get that sort of attention

[Damo_R34]

ok, so he did the wrong thing, oh well. He is asking if

a) demerit points are lost for "unnecessary wheel spin" and "driving without control"

b) he can fight the speeding charge if the police officer didnt record his speed with a speed camera?

[Dohmar]

ok, so he did the wrong thing, oh well. He is asking if

a) demerit points are lost for "unnecessary wheel spin" and "driving without control"

Yes, under the following sections they may choose to charge you with ;

44B(3)

Misuse of motor vehicle

4

46(1)

Driving recklessly or at speed or in manner dangerous to public

6

full list is here ; http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/sa/cons...96281/sch7.html

b) he can fight the speeding charge if the police officer didnt record his speed with a speed camera?

Yes again, but it won't make any difference in court, he's still gonna lose the licence based upon the first two - and they would always take the word of a policeman than a P plater...
