driving coarse

[Risto]

Hi guys

i just got home from my court case and im pleased and not pleased with my result, lemme start from the beggining so yous know my story june 4th i was comming down heatherton road in dandenong and turning onto princess hwy its 3 lanes extending into 4, it about a 90 degree turn maybe a ltitl emore room anywya it aint to difficult due to so many lanes anyway it was a wensday night about 1 am and no1 was on the road so i thought mad a nice time to practise some of my drifting, anyway i excelerated abit took the corner reasonably if i might add for my driving skill and to my suprise when i fully turned the corner and straigtend up a police vechele was hiding on the side i guess probly trying to mesure speed, and as u would prosume there lights went on and pulled me over, to cut a long stoy short i was summunsed to court and they said, theyll give me 3 things to do if i Pleed guilty i wont loose my licence so i agreed they were, (1 write an apology letter to the arresting officer for endangering his life due to drivers stupidity. may i add i was nowhere near him. 2) pay a "valenteery" fee of $100 to any charity of my choice 3) and take a safe driving coarse. and show then all this by sept 15th which isnt even a month away

so the purpose of all this was to ask u guys do you know any safe driving school i rang aami they qoueted me like $275 for 2 hours using my car and racv $205 using there vechicle but they have a 4 wekk waiting list and cant squeeze me in any earlier. but i highly doubt u can use a skyline for a safe driving coarse anyway. have any of you done them how much and where cheers!

Check out the John Bowe course - supposed to be good, a full day, on a racetrack.

Also the Jim Murcott one is OK.

Check Yellow Pages under "Driving Schools - Advanced &/or Defensive"

Hey Risto, it's called a Diversion Program !! We run defensive driving programs for drivers sent by the courts pretty often.

We can help you out no probs

PS It doesn't matter what you drive, I had a 21 year old turn up for one in his Lamborghini Diablo once !!

[Cyric]

there is a place in kilsyth on either liverpool or colchester road (cant remember which one) called Metec.... i was looking at going there back in the good old days when they used to give you a discount on your insurance premium for having done a 'driving' course last i checked it was about $175 dollars....

oh and since you dont have to walk i would say the court case went ok

ehehe inark sure is what are they doing up at that time ehehehe you pay for your stupidy what if i lost control hit a poll or something. or even side swipped another car and killed some1 its not the police officers fualt its mine for not checking the bushes for hostile creatures hehe eehehe you learn from you mistakes thats all i can say young n dumb

[Snowman]

in some senses risto you were unlucky! back when I was young and dumb I did the same thing (except the cop was coming the other way - not hiding in the bushes). He pulled me over and asked me if I knew why I was being pulled over. he told me it was because "you didnt have your indicator on. dont do it again. And dont drive like an idoit" and he let me go! And it was done leaving the pub car-park.

They're not ALL complete bastards.
