Advice Needed

In my experience the cops usually win, but good luck.

i spoke to my lawyer today who i will be speaking to properly at his office. He seems to think they have little chance of winning if i contest it in court. The court fees and solicitors fees don't really bother me, it's more so to prove a point that he should NOT be able to do this.

Take the advice of your solicitor. Police already have prima facie evidence as soon as they present the device. He then presents his expertise and the video and you are toast.

Too many crusaders who try to prove points clog up the court system. It does not worry the police. They are paid to be there and it does not worry the solicitor. He will happily take your thousand dollars to defend a $300 fine. It is the system that suffers.

Proving a point is only costly to one person. The one trying to prove a point.

But if she's on her reds it's an automatic suspension and because it's 37 over the limit it may be a longer suspension...

Mandatory 3 months off the road for any speed for a P1 licence. She then loses it for a further 3 months for demerit points.

Versus taking it to court, maximum penalty imposed, licence CANCELLED (Not just suspended)... I know where I'd be going...

Sorry I haven't been replying.

I was on my green p's and it was an automatic suspension because I'm a p plater.

The rta says it will be a further 6 months due to the demerit points.

Have an appointment with the solicitor tomorrow, let you all know how it goes :-)

Actually courts disqualify you. RTA/Police deal out cacellations and suspensions. Signifigance being a much harsher penalty imposed for driving whilst disqualified as it is a court order.
