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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
