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..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
