Mitch, dont let your tits leak, im only trying to help mate.

if you have never appealed a licence disqualification then you are well within your rights to appeal

this one afaik.

if you havent had to appeal before you should have nothing to worry about Mitch...

I got done for disobeying a traffic sign, which was 3 demerits - this was quite a while ago.

when i had to appeal, (I attended the Holden Hill court), the court room was packed full of P platers appealing their license, and one by one you get called up, judge reads your letter from employer, and sends you on your way with 1 demerit point. I then got a letter in the mail stating this (last demerit point warning), and i had to attend one of those driving intervention meetings.

i got caught with no p plates.

its a minor frigging thing !

reckon i have a chance of getting off ?

edit// i got done for speeding last october and i learnt my lesson from that , and then i got caught with no p plates in my dads work car.

Well I've looked up the law - says that you lose your licence alone for not displaying the p-plates however it doesnt say that its mandatory.

The speeding ticket will have given you 1-3 demerit points depending on the speed. Now, there is legislation to change the 'not display p plate' penalty to 2 demerit points rather than a loss of licence, however it doesn't come into effect until january 2010. This is where lawyering comes in handy

You can employ a lawyer to negotiate with the prosecuting sergeant as to what charges you will face and if there is any way he can convince them to charge you with a lesser offence. Once that happens, he can delay the court case for a fairly long while, and then once you actually do face court there is a good chance they can point out your virtues and impress the magistrate with character references and the like. A magistrate wouldnt want to take your licence away if you need it for your income, however if the law doesn't allow them to negotiate then I'm afraid its bad luck. In negotiations with the magistrate, the lawyer can request that they extend your P's or put you back to P1 rather than P2 (or is it the other way around?) or put you on a good behaviour bond, etc.. only they know the tricks of the trade which is why its worth fighting for if your income depends on it.

If he can delay your case till Jan 2010, and the penalty is taken from day of sentencing rather than the day of offence comitted, he might be able to get you down with 2 demerit points- however you'd have to make sure that those demerit points wouldn't put you over the allocated amount at that time. The only problem with delays is if your licence has been automatically disqualified and you cant drive at this moment.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
