love2xlr8: the fact is, your mate is a fool. you lose your licence for 12 months, by a sentence handed down by a judge. you then decide hey, the judge is wrong, those nice guys at DPI must be right.
your mate should just take what he deserves, have his licence suspended for another 6 or 12 months, and stop trying to weasle his way out of it because its his fault he got in the sh1t anyhow.
someone lock this topic damnit.
