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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
