doing a skid from standstill kills babies, didn't you know.

Don't worry, I continue to be a hoon well past 25, so it's not just under 25's being dickheads :D

Although, I did get a "Wilfully drive a vehicle in a way that created unneccessary noise (No Smoke)" back in January. (2 points and $240)

ooo, recent past history.. no doubt will be tended to the court. bend over boy.

True, however you will find that certain cars are targeted for no reason. Yes, people drive like knobs, yes it happens in "targeted/black listed" hoon cars however not everyone is like that. In theory cars don't attract attention it’s meant to be the driver, however that’s a total lie as now just owning one style of car is the attention in its self.

I guess it's kinda like me saying all black people steal, which is not true. The Police can’t single out every Skyline/Supra/insert import here driver. I had this conversation with the Police prosecutor before I went into Court yesterday in fact.

In regards to young people in accidents the Media and Police forget to mention the other people involved half the time. Yes we always here the stats on people under 25 but the fact of the matter is there is a higher % of people in Australia over 25 who have and are involved in more accidents then the under 25's.

Unfortunately the hoon band wagon media story still sells and will continue too, thus we will always be raped.

I dont doubt that at all about the media, but im sure the police pull over more younger drivers in cars doing stupid shit compared to an older driver.

Will the fact that i am on my Opens (age 21). not P's have any effect on the outcome?

if you were still on your P's you would have made the 6 o'clock news.

they will look at your driving history not what licence you hold.

Gordo a hoon?? no way, you've changed my whole perspective.... :D

Man my dad is 50 and i wont say he's a bigger hoon, but he loves a good skid and the occasional race as much as me or the next person... where do u think i get it from?? mums a whole other story, caught doing 130+ in 60 zone and proceeding to abuse the police officer.. calling him "a pathetic little creaton..." amongst other things... resulted in a 1 month suspension $600 dollar fine and had to go back to p's for a year.. like to see someone under 35 get off with something like that... I screamed injustice, but hey she's still my mum :D

What's your traffic history look like? Depending on a few things, the likelihood of you losing your license for this is low. A judge will take all things into consideration, but don't be stupid and ignorance is no defence in law. You cannot claim you thought flooring it at the lights wouldn't spin the wheels etc etc, you didn't mean to etc...a judge will see straight through that.

Why bend over for the law yet again?...

Sure you did a small skid, . but the mark is not from your car correct?. nor will it match. I would imagine alot of experts would agree, 'that to make a Cloud of smoke this would leave marks', you could possibly beat this.

Good luck with that!

How do you intend to prove the mark is not from your car? Photos etc are unlikely to be taken too seriously unless they were taken at the time of the offence and of both the marks on the road and the pattern of the tyre. No expert will testify on something so trivial and if they do it's going to cost money, not to mention the smoke part of the offence could come from the exhaust.

It's up to Benny Bobo to what he wants to do, but seen as he admitted to the police that he committed the offence and the fact I doubt he has anywhere near enough evidence/time/money to fight something so small. I still think pleading guilty and doing what I said will be his best course of action.

Also remember photos are useless unless they were taken by the police crime lab. I learnt this when my car was vandalised. All the photos I took were not admissable, I needed the police to come around to take the pics.

For a start you are with in your rights to request a copy of the recorded conversation from the police officer, make sure you right down their names and badge numbers (of all officers present, including the ones waiting in the police car) note the time and rego of the cop car, if they refuse you simply say you refuse to comment until a mediator is present and make sure when you get pulled over get straight out of the car and look them in the eye dont let them talk down to you, they tend to think about things before they say it if you do. As far as the book being throwin at you for your take off, my brother got nailed by a cop for a doing a donut because there was no witness's aside from the cop he got a court apperance. in the apperance the officer claimed to be a witness that a pair of 4inch wide marks were left for about 5 meters from his vehical as he left a quite street. Now I went down to inspect the marks that they claimed to be his and it was physically impossible as his car is simply no capable of doing so as its a 81 corolla for christ sake if you put his 2 back tyres together you might make one 4 inch mark but the thing is that guttless that it barely does a donut in the gravel. This said I took him and his car down to the police station and asked to speak to the officer to explain his accusement and to look at his tyres to compare them to the marks then take note of what car it is. To this question he refused to explain, so naturally i asked him how he could sleep at nite knowing full well the that the he was wrong (this was quite funny cause i noticed the cop next to him serving someone else smerk when i said it and the officer i was talking to heard him). I told him that i didnt doubt that he did a burn out (attempt) and that he should be punished however 6mths loss of license and $800 is crap. I also explained that the road was also being resurfaced so there was loose gravel spread across the road, to which he replied he got what he deserved and walked off. After a little bit of research it turned out that the cop had a son and he was in the same school and grade as my brother and dont get along. so i have filed a formal complaint against this officer to the cheif of police for that station I also send a copy to the media and to the fair claims tribunal. So now he's under investigation.

So Benny go in there with confidence admit that you did make a mistake but emphisise that it was impossible that the marks where from your vehical you werent speeding and that you pulled over as requested, i wouldnt mention you previous history although they will already know as they will use it as 'you havent learnt your lesson'.

Good Luck

In this circumstance denying it will do nothing to help him. He has already admitted to the offence (to the police) and his word against the police is not a situation you frequently win on.

In any other circumstance I agree, don't admit to anything if you wish to fight the charge. However with reference to this situation contradicting yourself and wasting a judges time with reasons, will likely lead to a dead end and a larger penalty.

As for wessa's advice...it's interesting, but in many cases will only annoy and aggrevate the police; which will end in a definate fine and possible additional fines that were never initially contemplated. The thing you have to realise and come to terms with is that the police basicly have infinite power and trying to go head to head with them when you're pulled over is (in most cases) useless. Just deny everything, and if you're fined, fight it in court where a judge and not a police officer decides what happens based on a balanced argument for either side.

Perhaps police should show the "footage" the police vehicles should apperently always be recording... all i say is.. no wonder the youth of australia dont have respect for the law. on that note, (off on a tangent) i am actually surprised that that police officer that booked you was actually driving the car, instead of having a automated gun taking photos of speeding cars, while reading the paper.... "stopping the road toll"

I say, we pay the police to protect and serve, and they have found a way to scam more money out of the public, without having to do anything. Yes speeding is wrong! BUT Police actually need to DO something about it. instead of sending photos..

I know this is off topic. but of all my fines, the only one i felt bad about, was the one that i was actually pulled over for.. and even then, i learnt the lesson, AND didnt get a fine!

Rant 2: Police like anyone are human, they have mood swings, they get pissed off. When this happens fines and demerit points tend to be more, Women get let off for more things, its a bias system, and not consistant.

/End rant

Bias or otherwise, the law is going slam you these days for doing any kind of wheel spin.

My bro got caught, went Option 1 (kop it on the chin) paid his $500- walked away with his car and his license- he's been smart enough not to reoffend and now we take our cars out to Willowbank and smoke the LIVING TURD out of the tyres all night long. Legally drift the FLOGIN CRAPPER OUT of them and come home with big grins on the face and are still $350- better off to spend on more bling/pwr... etc.

HOWEVER- if I was a policewoman like that bloke I'd crak it and if you were driving a commodore I say "I'm NOT TOWING THAT PIECE OF POO!!! Sod off and pay up" but let all the decent young skyline drivers off with a warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehe

so how'd it go??.

Well,

I got a $360 fine (or 6 days jail) and I am guessing the normal 2 points.

There was a few mistakes in the statement the police wrote.

They said that:

1. I said "Where did you guys come from, I didn't see you. There was a red car chasing me" WTF?

2. I was in the right hand lane at the intersection and I slid into the left lane - WRONG - I was in the LEFT lane.

3. I own a Nissan 'coupe'. WRONG - I have a damn Skyline sedan.

4. Due to me "co-operating" they did not tow my car... I wish they would make up my mind cos I was originally told that it is a piece of siht that he couldnt be fcuked towing... I think he was just jealous :P lol

Also, the personal description of me by them... MUSCULAR :nyaanyaa: ... I thought it was just fat? must just be relaxed muscle :( lol

those are some weird statements there. did you get a chance to say that things were different from your perspective? or do they just don't care?

either way dood, as long as you get to keep your license then I guess its a good outcome. Just be careful out there and try to keep it as long as possible, losing it sucks some serious ball sweat :P

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
