I was caught making unnecessary noise and smoke from a set of traffic lights in Nerang. The infringment notice has an error on it.In the body type section, the officer wrote sedan instead of coupe. Does this make the ticket invallid, or should I just pay the fine?

you should write him up a ticket for not being able to tell the difference

id just pay it dude

what else can you do? take it to court? and use "my car isnt a sedan" as an excuse for your infringement?! then court cases just for that?

just be done with it and dont do it again.....

I've read somewhere that that sort of thing would make a ticket invalid if there was more than three errors

If you notify them they will confirm other details with the officer that issued the ticket and correct the ticket and issue another infringement.

I'd suggest paying it , unless of course there is more than 1 error that is quite substantial the officer in this case doesnt know his cars and will simply tell the road authority that he thought it was a sedan of sorts and have his screw up fixed up :D

same thing used to go with birth dates and names if u are asked for your name dob etc and u tell them incorrectly they'll get you for giving false information however if the police officer makes the mistake and misreads misinterprets or guesses something they can turn around and fix it up later on :D wierd how that works huh

ummm...check your rego and what it classes you car as. Sometimes they class them as a coupes only if the back window lifts up with the boot.

then again it could just be a massive mistake...put it this way i drive a sedan and its registered as a coupe...dont know how that happened.

i had a similar incident. got a parking ticket for parking in a bus stop for 10mins. under Car Description, he wrote grey nissan coupe. MY car is dead set BLUE with a PURPLE shade (not remotely close to any sort of a grey) lol. i was going to take it to court and argue technicality, and also attack the ability and reliablity of a person to issue fines, when he cannot differentiate between blue and grey lol. BUTTTTT i had exams and didnt have the time to pursue it, so i just paid it :D

I once got booked at Wentworth Falls doing 60Km/Hr in a 50Km zone, but Mr Plod wrote out the ticket with the Number Plate of the car in front of me (and not mine).

I took it to court, just wondering if I could get off on a technicality. But alas, the magistrate determined that because I was the driver of the car that was speeding, I still had to pay and lose pts.

I must admit too that I represented myself; which means that I had a fool for a client!!!

He could have written "helicopter" in the vehicle panel and it wont make any difference.

In court technical details do matter, but it can't be something tiny that will get you off on a "technicality".

it is a sedan mate. but sure take it to court. it will be awesome fun when you try to explain it to them. video and youtube it.

and even if he wrote sudan under body type it wouldn't matter. in no way does it have any impact on the validity of the ticket.

Take it to court and they will thank you for pointing out the error. They will then correct the error and charge you a court fee and probably an increased fine for wasting their time..

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
