Hey guys

My friend asked to drive my car so I let him. Anyway, he started to speed and instantly got flashed as he did so. Yeah he was stupid for doing that.. Anyway, I'm wondering how this affects me?

Does the demerit points + fine go to the driver of the vehicle at the time? Or goes to me as I'm registered under it. I mean, the fine will come to me but how do I get my friend to transfer the demerits HE got to him?

He offered to pay the fine so its fine, I'm just more worried about how it affects me, if at all.

Anyone with info or experience to this please let reply thanks

The fine will come to the person who is the registered owner of the car, as obviously the police have no way of knowing if someone else was driving the car at the time. Then, there is a section on the back where you nominate who was actually driving at the time, as far as i know you just need a few simple details plus their licence number.

Hope that helps

Cheers Cash. I was just a bit worried as I just got a new car and he was doing roughly 30-40km over limit and was worried about my license being suspended.

He's a close mate though so he's definitely willing to take the blame for everything. I just hope this incident doesn't touch my records!

just ring up the place where u have to pay it, you can tell them he was driving, and i guess he would have to confirm it, but shouldnt be a big drama, it happens alot, especially when people have too little points left, they just throw em on some-one else's licence

Ring them up when I get the fine right? Not before or anything? Also he got flashed but there were a few cars in the other lanes with him so I'm not 100% sure. Are his odds any good?

As the owner the fine will be sent in your name and you will need to fill out the Stat Dec section on the back nominating your friend as the driver and the fine will be re-issued in his name with demerit points and possible suspension. It will have no affect on your records once you nominate him.

If you ring them and say "I think I got my picture taken because i was speeding", ....that is as good as an admission of guilt. :happy:

Wait until the fine comes.

Don't pay it!.... once you've paid the fine, you've admitted to the offence.

Your friend may decide to contest any fine, ...eg: it may be his first offence and he may be able to ask that the fine be reduced to a warning based on previous good driving behaviour, or there may be other circumstances (other vehicles present as you mentioned) .......and there may not be any fine sent at all, so it's best to just wait and see.

If one comes, read the information on the fine, it will tell you what you have to do if you weren't the driver.

Follow those steps.

Good luck, and make sure that people drive safely when they're driving your car! :nyaanyaa:

Yep as they said you just have to fill out the statutory declaration (need his licence no. dwelling address. DOB and a few other details) then get it signed by a justice of peace, your law guy or someone else with legal authority (a chemist perhaps?) and mail it back. Then they'll send you a withdrawal notice and re-issue it to your mate

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
