Ouch, bummer mate :D

A friend of mine got done for letting his registration lapse a few years ago, and he got RAPED by fines...

As doughboy said, you get an unregististered car fine, AND a no third party insurance fine (because it's impossible to have 3rd party for an uninsured car), and as far as I remember the fines were pure extortion :)

Good luck mate...

A friend of mine was once caught driving her Mother's car, unbeknownst to her, her Mother had let the rego lapse, but it was my friend who copped the fines. They were fairly hefty, I remember them being somewhere around $1200 in total, but my memory on it is hazy now.

Out of interest, did you know the car was unregistered when you drove it?

tex i did know the car was register because i sold my car and needed a transport so i borrow my friend unregister car for 2 weeks '

i thought i was invincible since i never got pull over before

Well, no doubt at the risk of being called a wanker by some on here, I'd like to point out how stupid knowingly driving around in an unlicensed vehicle is - the inconvenience you saved yourself by driving your mate's car could have been well and truly offset by the massive problems you'd have encountered, if say, for example, you hit a pedestrian. You wouldn't have been insured for the injuries inflicted upon that person, and in order for them to be compensated (assuming they survived of course) they'd need to sue you, and you'd probably lose everything you own.

Something to think about. Public transport's not so bad. Neither is an $800 fine, in relation to the above scenario...

Dude im glad to hear you have learnt something from this as it seems few younger people ever do. It's good to know you learnt something from what was, in the grand scheme of things, no real big problem. You lose a little money but its just money.

Unfortunately a lot of the time we hear on this board of younger people only learning their lessons after writing off two cars. And in some of those circumstances they dont even learn then.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
