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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
