Test Drivers Getting Fines On My Behalf!

[Daewoo]

Not sure if the rules are the same in SA as in NSW... but just proving you are not the driver isn't enough... if they can't find who to pass the fine to, they just convert the fine from Speeding to "Being responsible for a vehicle that was speeding" and you still wear the fine and the points...

Sorry dude, but unless you can provide the cops with details of the driver, you will still wear it.

ok i havent read any of the previous posts but i have first hand info for you and you wont like it!

3 years ago my brother brought a car took some girl with him and she said she was me to the owner, filled out the form put my name, my address (not compleatly correct but you could work it out) my D.O.B, everything except my drivers licance.

just after he brought this car i had CIB on my door step handcuffs out and all telling me i own this car ect anyway they interogated me for an hour about this car saying its been involved in a road rage crime on goodwood rd against an off duty poilce officer, i told them i havent seen or spoken to my brother in over 2 years and i dont know his nimber or address but i have been told that he owns this car,

they left still thinking im hiding the car and followed me for 2 weeks, at my work, at my mum',s at my house ect.

Then i moved house, then i couldnt rego my car and had know idea why went down to the court house and found $6500.00 worth of fines, im not joking!

Because i moved house i never got any fines they kept getting sent back cause i never changed my address for postal cause my garaging address was my mum's house

So i had to get detales of the previous owner to speak to the fines department but then they wouldnt help and i had to speak to the expiation notice people then speak to the police. as it turns out because he got that girl to put the car in my name they obviously couldnt pay stamp duty, so every time he got a speeding fine or parking fine the fines would go to the original owner who them put them in my name because as far as he was concerned someone named kellie dodge brought this car.

I then had all the detales i needed after 3 hours on the phone with 4 different people and $50 worth of credit wasted

i had to fill out 12 form 51's and get them all singed by a jp and had to them submit them to be viewed befor a judge in a closed chambers and i woud be let known of the out come.

The judge decided that the car is mine and so are the fines so i had to them fill out more form 51's for each of the fines and stat decks and send them off

All this has been to no avail, over $100 worth of credit gone, and 2 days off work to deal with this

I now have a good behaviour bond for 12mths cause its my first time and $6500 worth of fines that i have to pay off $70.00 a fortnight

So hunni i know how you feel i had all the details because i knew it was my brother and his mates and there was sweet stuff all i could do because the previous owner said he saold the car to a kellie dodge

sorry babe

couldnt you have got the dude who they bought the car off of, to go with you to the courts and say, 'this isnt the same kellie i sold the car too.' etc

i would have killed someone if this happened to me!

If the police cant prove it was you, and you cant prove it was anyone else, got some mates/family members that can take the points for you and you just pay the fines..?

+1

This is your ONLY way out

In the back of the fine there is a section to fill in, a family member or friend (someone with heaps of points) drove the car at the time

Get him/her to fill it in + sign for it and send it in before the due date, do NOT pay for the fine.

They will re-issue the fine to that person + demerit, you pay the fine and it's done

You keep your license and love that person forever.

I agree - would be easy as piss to get the person who sold the car to NOT ID Kellie as the actual purchaser. Or even better get someone to track down this scam girl, get a photo of her, then get the seller to verify that was the "Kellie" they thought they sold the car to.

Then you could get the vehicle disposal notice and prove the handwriting/signature was not yours also, as well as the address not being 100% correct and drivers license number missing.

There is a lot amiss here.

a lot of funny story's here

I've been nominated before and tried to deny it, the officer that came round to ID me had the photo from the camera back then i used to wear baseball caps and was wearing the same one that day, and when i denied it he goes care to change your statement as it seems your wearing the same cap that is in the photo and showed me the photo right there i conceded but he then charged me for lieing to the crown also which had a 4yr 4000k sentence i got neither

a good solicitor will go a long way, a really good solicitor will get you off a suspended sentence to another suspended sentence

i asked legal aid to help me but its because a judge has determined it was my car when i first did the form 51 and when i did them again with the sat decks

[Madaz]

legal aid solicitors are shit there just students

you need to take the legal aid forms to a proper solicitor

state awarded solicitors aka legal aid just tell you to plead guilty things will go easier for you

kellie, if the car is now legally yours in the eyes of the courts, find your brother and get YOUR car seeing its in your name!

sell said car, pay fines with profits.

if you cant find your brother and the car, report it stollen. if your brothers caught and says its his car or the girls car or whatever, profit from that and get out of the fines etc.

like i said, id be after someones head for this and seeing the court rekons the cars yours get what belongs to you! revenge!!! lol

[Madaz]

good call Kye

[DIOR 33]

the car had been sold 2 times over when all this went to court

Thanks for all the feedback people.

Kell, your situation sounds f**kin' terrible!

As for "get a solicitor" comments. Blah blah blah... Easier said than done. That shit is expensive!

I wasted $7k trying to contest a matter a while ago and in the end after all the money spent I ended up pleading guilty purely due to the fact that I could no longer afford to continue contesting it.

Aaaanyways,

Being a "mummy's boy" has paid off and mum's going to take them for me. lol

Seeing as she currently has a clean slate as far as demerit points, it won't hurt her too much.

I just hate it how;

a) f**khead people driving my car would be so disrespectful... I guess I'm too trusting. A weakness.

b) my mum now suffers for the actions of aforementioned f**kheads

c) Once again, the truth is not enough. I've dealt with police too many times where the truth has not prevailed. In this instance, its not the police's fault, but still, it shits me.

... Rant done. Lol.

Thanks everyone.
