Just recieved a fine today (the day before christmas ;) ) for unroadworthy tires. That's not the issue, my question is are they (the fines) still valid if they are not signed by the issuing officer (or any officer in my case)? Not trying to get out of it cause they are actually unroadworthy (haven't checked them in a while) but could he have given me a christmas present by not having to pay for it.

hey mate, try PM'ing Johnny Cash...he's a law student, or a lawyer even...and seems to know his stuff....he has a thread going at the moment with police powers and our rights, so he'd almost certainly be able to help you out.

Well, for the fine to be official, it would have to be signed by the issuing officer. But in the case where they forget to, they could simply re-issue another notice with the correction. Unfortunately, you would not be able to refuse paying the fine because of a failure on the issuing officer's part to sign it. :(

Sorry for the bad news, especially at this (otherwise) festive time of year. Bad things happen to good people, and providing the fine isn't too expensive, it might be worth saving the hassle of arguing such a technicality.

The reality is, it's an administrative error, rather than an error in law, and would be quickly resolved. So, for what it's worth, you could refuse to pay it based on it not being signed, but then they would simply re-issue a notice that IS signed, and you'd have to pay it anyway. Might as well get it out of the way...

As I said in my disclaimer from the original thread, I don't guarantee ANY of this information, because I don't want to get sued if anyone relies on it to their detriment. But seeing as it's free of charge, you're welcome to it. :)

      C-red tuning?

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
