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.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
