Something is wrong with our system.

Hmm - while he was a bit silly for not getting the DPI to state in writing that he was allowed to get his license back, there are govt f*k ups that work in our favour. Unfortunately for him it did a backflip and caught him..

Dan/Rob - you guys are probably right in some respects, but are also being pretty harsh in others.. we've all done stupid things when we were younger, I think there's alot of luck involved.. It's the old - "I got away with it, know I was lucky & know not to do it again" syndrome.. hindsight is a wonderful thing.. and Rob - someone like you or me or Dan could probably have about 5 std drinks and not blow more than 0.02, but a 17/18 year old without as much around the middle as us would be a different story.. :D

I think Joe has come up with the best way of attacking this. Write to the Ombudsman for unfair/inconsistent treatment by the Police/DPI and get a good Lawyer. I'm sure they're just trying to throw the book at him, but once the real circumstances are found out by a Judge things may look a bit more favourable for him..

That said - he still has another 7 months to serve on the suspended license - if he gets away with just having to do that and nothing else he should count himself lucky, not be pissed off at the system that made a paperwork muckup that he took advantage of..

My 2 cents anyways for what it's worth.. :)

i think ur friends goin down and it will for for quite awhile. his best chance of getting off is calling in the media. but to do that he has to admit he was a bad driver in the first place or they will pin everything on him.

with the license he was still probationary. if he lost his licence or had it suspenned when u get ur licence back your 'p' plate period starts afresh.

unless they have changed that law in the last few years. this happened to a friend i use to work with.

the media would cricify him the same way that dan and rob have.

get a good lawyer

dont rely upon the misgivings of an internet forum.

sounds like he's ****ed himself by listening to people that don't know what theyre talking about enough already.

I can sympathise with his plight though.

Also, you people basing these harsh views on very little information. I have lost my license previousely twice for Dangerous driving, yet in both instances I was no danger to anyone but myself, and even then it was minimal if at all. Also if I had gone to court with a lawyer I know both times i could probably have gotten off the offence. Naturally hindsight is a wonderful thing. :D

Its all his fault, Judge says, you dont drive for 12 months, you write down what day judge said this, and on that day in a year time you get your licence back, its pretty black and white if you ask me, of course some pencil neck in some office is gonna say sure, you can go for your licence, your over age, but the people who matter, the courts and to enforce this the police have said you dont drive for 12 months, geddit?

      He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...

      I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal

      HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.

      I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
