But you did take them off and not put them back on ....

I will be representing myself on the day, I've familiarised myself with how the courts work and such, I believe I have a solid chance of getting my license back with the given grounds I've got.

"it's not what you know it's what you can prove in court" - Law Abiding Citizen

A bit of advice, I assume your young, so the prosecutors will take advantage of this

American court based tv shows is largely different to how local courts are run in Australia

i would more focus on fighting to have the negligent driving charge dropped, not focus on the licensing part, you get this over turned, then your points should be returned

but i STRONGLY suggest to seek professional legal person/s who are EXPERIENCED

but remember if it cannot be afforded then seek legal aid

Best of luck

what prosecutors ?

P plates carries 2 points, whether you have none, 1, or 2 partially displayed.

The RMS will have their own solicitor there in relation to the appeal of the suspension or they will get a police prosecutor to loo after it.

Provisional drivers are in a unique position where they are the only drivers with the ability to appeal a demerit point suspension. You can appeal on hardship or all grounds. In your case you would be appealing on hardship. You could appeal all grounds if one or both of the previous matters were dismissed.

Lodging the appeal late may be your downfall as it may not even get off the ground at the hearing date.

Be polite and well-spoken - this is probably the best advice I can give you now. I mean I don't know you in person, so I can't really say if that's how you are or not, but it's something I'd go with.

If you need to state your case, do so calmly and as concisely as you can.

I believe I am, thanks :)

And wear a suit and tie

If you don't have one borrow one that fits well

Character references will help (that describe the defendant and not the case as these will have it excluded) but there is still the nurse who her job is a hard character reference to top in the eyes of the court, done free charity work?

No free charity work :( I did clean up my school garden though last year if that helps? Haha :P

Thanks for the information!

I came on to ask if I should, seen your response :D. I do have both suit and tie, and I will be wearing them. I thought, well it is a formal place so I should dress formally...

Yep, definitely agree with suit - make sure it's a sedate one though, don't want it too flamboyant. The whole idea is to show respect for the court, not to try and get off of things, but because showing respect in court is always good anyway, even if you're just there to watch events for a third party. Have a shave and tame your hair, you wild thing you :)

Ohh don't you worry ;) I've got the PERFECT one lined up :)

And display a look of remorse, judges hate smiles :)

Got it. No smiling. :D :D :D :D :D :D

This was a good read, i look forward to seeing how this pans out. I strongly agree with most of the comments regarding dressing well in a suit, black, and a tie. Definitely be punctual and well mannered, judging by your comments in this thread you seem like an educated bloke so go in there and f*ck shit up.

Goodluck!

Due to my appeal being lodged 2 days late, the magistrate could not hear my appeal.

What a waste of f**king time. Mind you, this kid that looked about 15 was discussing with the RMS lawyer him being suspended for 6 months due to going 45k's over the limit and street racing...

Unsuspension date: 14th of November

Well, you've learned for next time: get a lawyer when going to court. They would have told you when the appeal deadline was, what your chances of winning were, and whether you should bother. Still, you gave it your best shot.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
