Just lost my last demerit points this morning on the way to work! Damn Cop Bike!

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any tricks to avoid losing ur licence (please dont say "don't break the law") :P

I already know that...... and at this point of time, it's not funny.

It's gonna kill me if I lose my licence for 6 months!

I've already appealed my licence and was 7 months into the "good behavior" period. Is there anything I can do????

I've heard you can go to court and ask just to drive to and from work only. But I don't know if that's just bulls#%t.

Any ideas???

You've answered your own question.

:P

If you've previously appealed - the law now says you cant appeal for another 5 years. Theres an option at the back of the fine that says something like you can dispute it in court and fingers cross the cop that fined you doesnt show up - nothing to lose cept a few extra bucks! lol

I think its more than just a few extra bucks. Court fees are not cheap.

Did he get you unfairly? Were you not speeding? If you're 100%, then you can appeal and risk it thru court. Cop it sweet otherwise unfortunately.

If you've breached your good behaviour period then you're probably in for a longer haul. Altho it'll take time, the only option available to you would be as mentioned below ...

Yo can get an Exeptionary licence that allows you to drive to and from the place of work, usualy have to wait a few months beforew you can apply for it and it has to be applied through the courts

Not sure if it'll cost ya, but anything thru the courts usually does.

Good luck with it all anyway.

Get a lawyer.

Seriously.

Even if you're guilty, have screwed up multiple times, there can often be something negotiated with the court; a lawyer knows these and will leverage it to the best of his/her ability. That said, it sounds like you've gotten more than a few traffic infringements, so you're almost pissing into the wind, however I have heard of some miracles worked by lawyers.

-D

+1 for a lawyer, had a mate that had lost his license for a year and he only had a week to go and he got caught drink driving unlicensed only got 6 months. Another mate that had an hour of madness in his car due to ex gf got 15 driving offences was gona do time and lose his license for 60months (5years) laywer got all charges dropped and only 9 months, cost him 2500g's but well worth it

he lives in the hills, bit hard for him to bus it, specially beeing a sparky......

unlucky fabio, where did he get ya? gorge? speed?

101 in a 80. Actually wasn't doing it on purpose this time, just in dream land and wasn't paying attention (damn brain!). It was just outside gumeracha on the way to kersbrook via checkers hill rd. Don't know if you know it, but yeah. Didn't even see him till I saw the lights come up behind me.

How much (very rough estimate) would a lawyer be for this type of thing? I have no idea on lawyer costs, never needed one.

Busing it isn't really an option from Gumeracha. It's a rarity..... and especially at 6 in the morning.

Anyone want to go for a hills run every morning to pick me up??? hahaha.......... ;) (I'm depressed)

i feel for you mate, it would suck big time. Cant imagine what id do without my licence. perhaps moving into the city and getting a lift with a work colleague could be an option if worse comes to worse. seems dramatic i know but much more practical.

I think I'm gonna have to venture down this line, coz what else is there!

I could ride the pushie from home, if I leave at about 3 in the morning! yeah, right! I'll get to work looking like the dudes from dumb and dumber with ice-icles (cant think of how to spell it) hanging out my nose. ;)

Remind me not to be on the road next time you're not paying attention and driving 20km/h over the limit....

Already been said, but either fork out some serious coin and get a lawyer, or bend over and take your punishment like a man.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
