The police do not send out warnings in the mail dude.... It's a fine. And I'd be contesting it too but only IF you were not driving the car and they didn't see you drive. If it was just there and you were just leaning on it as you said then contest it. If you have not given all the facts here and there is a possibility of you being seen driving (your word against theirs as they don't take photos while driving) then wear the fine dude.

hahaha reminds me of the good old days when all you got for driving a highpowered car was $109 no points

got to the stage where the cops said they would arrest me for repeat offending HAHAHAHA

The answer to my question is here. Just received the fine in the mail.

$117 fine. No demerits lost.

I'm a very relieved boy :D

What is the wording on the notice out of interest?

What is the wording on the notice out of interest?

Something along the lines of "breaching conditions on license"

I guess it's the same as someone breaching medical conditions on their license (i.e. some people have to wear glasses at night).

"A" (auto) is considered a "condition" :) Funny system really.

And eMsta, it wasn't a pointless thread. I wanted to know what I was potentially up for. If it was bad then it might have caused me to sell the car or something.

Now for future reference people will know what to expect :D

why buy a manual car if you have auto licence in fisrt place?

do the test first then buy it

lets say it was bad and you did have to sell car, waste of lots of time and money

cause i highly doubt you will get back what you payed for it

I bought the car to learn in.

Unfortunately no one in my family can drive manual so I'm teaching myself :)

But yeah, got it mastered now so just gotta book in for the test.

Will keep it short as on iPhone nismoid correct unless police actually saw you drive then no offence can be prooved, I doubt fine will be issued unless more to this. Also full lic can drive manual even if only had auto to start with. As to drink driving need more than keys in ignition to proove, I had one recently that was blind drunk passed out at wheel at intersection car running in turning lane with car in gear and indicator on and he got off. Sums up the stupid court system and why crime on the rise

WTF?!? :D Sounds like the courts only get off their lazy a$$ when theres a death or damage to property involved :)

The courts and sometimes the police. Don't bother filling out a hit and run accident report unless you are injured or someone died, they just don't care.

    • I clean my wheels every time I was the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash, followed by wash and wax, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, there also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
