....And yes i have been here before 2500 in fines and 3 years without a license down to 500 in fines and 6 months with no license.

Its a fair cop.

3 Years?! Thats a really long suspension. Errr.... mind if I ask what you actually did to get delt out intially such a large suspension period? That is a seriously long time.

um............running a red light is not 'petty shit' people get killed doing that.  tough shit if some kid went to cross the road.  if you think that's petty i sure hope that you dont get your licence back for a long time.  i feel i speak on behalf of a lot of sensible drivers here on SAU.

haha clearly you dont even know the situation.

There is no situation that makes it ok or "less bad" to run a red light, its one of the worst things you can do when driving a car. Its dangerous. People who run red lights kill innocent people. Full stop.

I'm not saying that i know ur situation but i think you should take responsibility for your own actions and cop it. Maybe you shouldn't be driving? If you have only been driving for such a short time and already you are running red lights/speeding etc, maybe you need a break from your licence. It sounds like you didnt learn much whilst you were on ur L plates.

Sorry if i sound harsh but thats what i think. Think about ur actions.

You are in the wrong, bend over and cop it sweet.

what he said

you broke the law on a number of occasions. yet, you want to appeal the loss of a lisence? when you get your lisence it comes with the conditions that you abide by the laws of the road. you broke the law (on number of occasions) and you have to cop it. simple.

you need your lisence for work? should have thought of that mate before you broke the law... that's the responsibility that comes with being 18+ and having a lisence.

i don't mean to be harse here mate, it just sounds a little stupid. its like saying

"i killed a guy, but i can't go to jail as i have work to go to in the morning, so do you think they judge will just let me off?"

Everyones done dumb shit paladin, you included, dont try and deny it. The important thing is whether u learn from it or not.

Hmmm- I find it hard to believe you "learn" from your mistakes if you don't take responsibility for them?

I know a few guys who lost their licences when they were young and stupid, and have come out better drivers because of it (catching public transport for a year will do that to you).

We might not like the laws, but we all said we'd drive to them when we got our licences.

And, I'm with Paladin and xRHETTx - there's no excuse for running a red, or talking on a mobile when you're driving for that matter- that's why God invented the handsfree kit.

messiah,

you are right, everyone has done dumb shite before. i have too in a car, though out of inexperience. but this guy dosent see it as dumb, he see's it as petty. and his suspension not as justice, but as an incovinience. as though he's done nothing wrong. and if he dosent think he's done anything wrong, he'll keep running reds and breaking the law. that's where the problem is.......................

oh true. yeah just got my green p's//

funny tho i still have not been pulled over in my gtr.. yet.

it says i have the right of an appeal, and to lodge one at a local court in nsw within 28 days.

is that a letter or could i just get my solicitor to do so?

Yes everyone has a right to appeal BUT considering the offences you have mentioned the judge will throw it out and the court fees will have to be payed by you for wasting their time.

Id think twice before going to court probably should cop the suspesion and learn from it

Andrew, I believe that you are having your licence suspended due to exceeding 7 demerit points, is that correct? If so from memory the mandatory period of suspension is 6 months. I think the best thing to do is cop it and get it over and done with. you could opt for the 12 months on 1 point thing, but it'll be pretty hard for you to keep that one point for 12 months, and if you do lose that point then you will cop it much worse.

3 month suspension.. but i need my licence for work. i occasionaly drive a light truck to go pick up machines from over nsw.. as my boss dosnt have a licence, he depends on me....

My boss is organising his barrister to do it for me. so hopefully it will work out ok.

i beleive i can be ok on the 1, or 2 point's they give you for however months it is... i'll definatley not be driving the skyline for sure. to and from the track is about all. petrol sucks!!

Anyone selling a cheep shitter with a 10 months rego????

Perhaps you should take these things into consideration before you go running red lights.

If you think that running a red light is petty, you don't deserve a licence.

I ran a red light once, i was coming up to a left hand turn into a 3 lane road, (so I had a lot of room to do it quickly), and just snuck through after the amber went to red. It was totally safe, and I scanned and shoulder checked. I got my letter in the mail.. 3 points and $xxx ..

I copped it and paid the fine, but if i had done the equivelant in the USA it would have been legal. :rofl:

yeah driving in the states rocks! its right turn on red everywhere! i loved it. got kinda confusing tho.

when i wrote petty shit i didnt mean to include the red light. but just the manual and phone shit.

and i was asking for advice from people. or similar experiences. not idiots telling me what i've done wrong.. you think i dont know already?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
