Dont want to take too much of a dig at you mate but you dont really have an excuse for the p plate mate, its your responsibility as a provisional driver too display plates at all times. You will just have to cop that one on the chin, nothing will come of that one. When i was on my green p's i went with a friend for a bit of a drive to wisemans ferry, on the way up there my Front P plate must have blown off. When i got to wisemans ferry i went to the shell servo to buy a new one but they did not have any green p plates, only red ones. Anyone who knows wisemans ferry knows that there is only one servo and the supermarket did not have p plates. I bought these anyways as i thought it would be better than nothing. On the way back i got pulled over for a breath test and booked for displaying incorrect plates, i explained the situation but it was no good.

Fight the accident though! How much of a witness can someone be from a 500m stretch, the passangers door is hit indicatiing you were in the right.

As far as the P plate offence goes if you paid for it you accepted guilt and therefore I would be very surprised if any magistrate would hear it.

The accident will fall heavily with the INDEPENDENT witness. SDR cant tell you who you can use as a witness. That's up to the magistrate. You can use your passenger but they will be seen as a favourable witness that can be cross examined in court. If you were issued the penalty notice by police they will put there facts across with the independent witness as their case against you so if you are going to bat on with it get legal advice or it could be very costly for you.

And as far as being hit on the right side. That does not mean you were not at fault. On a roundabout you must give way to all vehicles which are already travelling on or have entered the roundabout. Just something to think about anyway.

Cheers.

Yeah, there's really no excuse for not displaying a P plate. I'll cop that one, no point in debating it!

Remember, I am just appealing my suspension, I suppose the magistrate could request further investigation regarding the accident which then I would have to worry about witnesses etc. Thanks :)

you also have this

may or may not work in the RTA's favor

That's something to think about :/

You have more chance of having the suspension turned over it you payed me all the money and asking me to over turn it and it actually sticking.

You're probably right. Taking into consideration I am of ethnic descent and the court hearing is on September 11th O_O

Be polite and well-spoken - this is probably the best advice I can give you now. I mean I don't know you in person, so I can't really say if that's how you are or not, but it's something I'd go with.

If you need to state your case, do so calmly and as concisely as you can.

I believe I am, thanks :)

Btw, the rule is that whoever entered the roundabout FIRST has right of way. So even though you got hit on the LEFT and he has to give way to his right. If he had just entered the roundabout you're not allowed to enter. Sounds to me like you were hammering it and have failed to adhere to this rule.

I dare say the other party had an independent witness, otherwise it's pretty inconclusive...

Did u even read the OP?

I had the test done with the new muffler, so it's 100% roadworthy.

Just some more info, I will be representing myself on the day, I've familiarised myself with how the courts work and such, I believe I have a solid chance of getting my license back with the given grounds I've got.

I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!

Just noting again, September 11th is my court date.

Kind Regards

I wouldn't go in there worried about September 11 as your court date ... Just relax and present the facts.

    • At least you're now aware of the problem and can come up with a solution. 
    • Dang. Keen for further updates when you get to it.
    • Welcome to SAU Thomas, sounds like you'd had a bit of a an unlucky start with the car, hopefully you get some better luck now!
    • 1. No need, it only gets used once then is locked in place by the nut 2. EN-62 point 6 shows the conical washer the other way around (BTW I know we discussed above, I hope you are changing the idler as well, while it is no guarantee the bearing is a actually bad, it looks terrible) 3. I'm not really clear on the question, are you worried because it was easy, not hard, to remove the custom timing trigger? As long as it doesn't spin on the crank (when the bolt is tight) all good 4. Yeah just make sure the brand is easy to read as it rolls past 5. The part number is on the listing under the description, 13023-42L00. Given there is a custom part on there for timing (presumably outside the cover), they may have decided to leave that off; I think I would put the washer in there as it also helps seal the timing case from crap getting in.
    • Hey everyone, I recently bought myself a 2001 Nissan Stegea M35, and I've had a few issues that I had to fix, my car would start intermittently and I had a bad rocker cover leak, after a couple days of looking I finally found a part number that interchanges with the OEM starter as the OEM starters at $1300 and I can't afford that, this starter was only $270 and I replaced the start and still had the same issues, I posted a video asking for help online and it went very well, some guy said it was probably a bad ignition switch so I took my dash apart and turns out my ignition switch was half screwed in and was loose, once it was tightened it fired right up, I found a local place called "Boost factory" and they sold me a part of OEM Nissan rocker covers, they were $600 which was a shocker but I couldn't find them anywhere else, so I installed them and fixed my oil leak as the old rocker cover was cracked and warped, I now need to replace my boost air inlet hoses as they have some cracks.
