Penalty for driving while licence suspended

[NickySantoro]

I got a quick question for you guys; a friend of mine lost his licence about 2 weeks ago for 6 months. However a couple of nights ago he got busted driving with no licence, and now hes got a court summons coming in the mail. Anyone else been unlucky enough to be in this position or know any1 that has got owned like this? if so what did they get in court? Just wondering what he'll cop in court cuz he's fkn spewin!

You'll get probably a min of 6 month more... upto 12/18 months

If his license was just a suspension, it'll now be cancelled (if on P's he'll ahve to start the 3 years again)

if on P's he'll ahve to start the 3 years again

now that would suck, but appropriate i guess...

The 'SAU' penalty for driving whilst suspended is worse than death.

Everyone has choices.

If you choose to speed/DUI, DiaMD - you might (and prolly will) get busted - YOUR CHOICE

If you choose to drive whilst suspended - again ..... YOUR choice.

My choice is to recomend to your 'friend' to get a mental illness check - because he sounds like he is retarded for braking the law twice.

The penaty is - he gets what he deserves.

Simple as that.

:werd: mate of mine drove while his license was suspended for a month, so they extended it by 6 months. he drove again, he wrote off his car, broke his shoulder in 4 places, pin in his elbow, plate on the side of the head, blurry vision in one eye and he can't move his fingers up on one arm. Cops saw his state and decided not to press charges. He's a changed man now, and he's regaining use of his fingers.

damn shan

and also :werd:

brother inlaws work, if they see someone park in handicap zone and they arent obviously handicapped, he will get one of the workers to move their car infront of it and block them from getting out, then they call the cops. cops come, see this bmw blocked in handicapped zone, they ask for his lisence, he says he doesnt have it with him, they ask why, he says he lost it (not misplaced, he was suspended) so not only did this asshole lose his lisence and still drive, he brought attention to himself by parking in a handicap zone

My mate got done for driving suspended, he got an extra 1 month and 500 bucks of fines / court fees.

As for all the preachers, you dont know the guys circumstances so give him a break.

Take it to the track - there are no circumstances - there are only choices.

doxxx: some guys in this world are just complete tards.. usually caries through to everything they touch.. world is better off without those sorts of people if you ask me.

Usually its a doubling of the original suspension if you are caught whilst driving while disqualified, and big whack of fines.

First time u will get off with just a fine, second they will threaten u will goal time, but most times its a suspended sentence. Still not a good thing to have a suspended sentence on your records.

Dont preach about vic when u dont live here and know the BS we have to put up with. Also he could have just been pulled over and not being dong anything stupid, and yes it does happen here, cops r just assholes here.

Last time I checked - I could choose to say anything I wanted to on this Forum.

It's your choice to agree with me or not - but don't tell me what I can and can't say - thanks.

[Guest INASNT]

u can say what u want wherever u want, but u dont live in vic so quick be so quick to judge the guy when u dont know the whole situation. Everything isent just black and white.

me and a friend got busted dragging each other on highbury rd, my mate had already lost his licence so he quickly swapped seats with the passenger without thinking. anyways cut long story short they ended up confessing and he saidf that he was driving, and they had to go to court but all he got was a fat fine no more loss of licence

[Guest INASNT]

well he an idiot for dragging on a public road when u have a suspended license.

How much was the fine?

[NickR33]

how the hell do you drive around with a suspended licence when you don't even know what the punishment is if you get caught...

Speaking from experience... If you get done and have your licence suspended YOUR DONE... ITS OVER... catch the train for a month you will be back driving before you know it!

GROW UP... BE SMART... and you will get away with so much more
