Received Court Summons Today

[boostn0199]

Just wanting to get an idea of where I stand from peoples experiences I have just got my summons for when I got impounded and I have been charged with Careless Driving and Intentional loss of traction which to none I have admitted just wondering whats the possiblites I could be facing and also take into account I am at the moment serving out a 6 month suspension for speeding.

best advie mate is to speak to a solicitor

[boostn0199]

yeah I was thinking I would have to do that, just thought Id see what other pople say aswell.

well if you were impounded - and if the reasons for the impound was similar to charges...

Not going to get very far I'm afraid as impounding isn't exactly taken lightly, nor does it sit well.

Lawyer up etc etc, but prepare for 6 months of walking.

I've been told from some mates that if your just honest, and be nice and open to the judge u can get out of alot...

a friend of mine got out of a 12 month suspension with a slap on the wrist..

then again i copt a 12 month suspension but he didn't send me to court... so i gota ware that one =(

also depends what u were doing and if u can justify...

i wish u luck mate.. if it makes u feel any better a mate of mine has 5 court summons... and their all for driving whilst suspended and not attending summons.. so imagine the penalty!

Were you already on suspension when you got the car impounded?

Should be banned forever. But then, obviously a lack of a licence hasn't stopped him, so maybe he deserves some hard time instead.
