Ive appealed and got an extension of my p's for 6 months, its very easy, out of 20 odd people everyone got their license back some with serious offences like 100 in a 60. Have a letter from work or whatever and you will be alright I know someone who has appealed 6 times!!! and he is still allowed to drive.

i recon DUI theres no excuse save your money and learn to catch a bus

if u loose a apeal and lengthening your sentance only applies to criminal matters not driving offences

IE you gotton caught shoplifting you sentance is 12months with non parol of 6 months if u appeal and loose you could very well do the whole 12 months

in ur case you would of lost your license for 12months if u appeal it stays @ 12 months

Hey mate, you have to explain more as to how they got you. Where were you driving? What alcohol reading did you register? Was it a random breath test or a setup one?

Have a look over the notice they gave you. Look for any errors they may have done. I have gotten off a hindering charge because they used my dads licence number for indentification purpose (Ie sayin it was proof it was me). But i must say mate, with a dui, you will cop a loss of licence no matter what. There is no good behaviour agreement you can enter. That only applies to traffic infringements.

I've been done for two dui's myself, so been through it all. The first i was lucky and the judge saw my side and gave only a month ban, but that was because of guys tryin to take my rims off, so i moved it closer to the hotel door and got pinged. Was a trifling case, so thats why judge took sympathy. Best advise is to ring a lawyer and see what they have to say. If they reckon nothing you can do, then just cop it sweet mate and use the time to learn and even modify your car. Also only pay for a lawyer if you need it. No point they show up, cop the same sentence you would have on your own, then also have to fork out a grand for em.

Well any more questions just shoot, havent really read back on what i said, so probably is all mumbo jumbo :happy:

DUI, ur probs f**ked, but fair enough.

if it was loosing ur license over somthing else, u can go to the courts and appeal it, and u will have ur license extended past the day of disqaulification till ur court case, this all costs about $82 i beleive. u will then be seen infront of a jugde and they will decide whether u get ur license back. usually u will if u have enough reason, if u dont u loose it for the same amount as u would have before. if ur successful in getting it back, u come back with 1 point left and if u f**k up again and loose that point, than from what i beleive the loss is longer than previously, for instance from 6 months to 12 months.

well this is the case for me, im going through it at the moment, but DUI is pretty serious, g/l with getting a judge to reason with it. but i thought with DUI u automatically go to court?

Interesting mate......... i wouldn't get done again if i were you, a mate of mine VERY stupidly got done 3 times after having a bretho in his car the second time he got locked up at Yatala for 2 weeks. Mind you he came out quit his job and now runs his own shop! Me thinks it was actually good to get locked up because now he wont touch a car, well that is also because he has lost his licence INDEFINATLY! just food for thought mate!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
