I got a quick question for you guys; a friend of mine lost his licence about 2 weeks ago for 6 months. However a couple of nights ago he got busted driving with no licence, and now hes got a court summons coming in the mail. Anyone else been unlucky enough to be in this position or know any1 that has got owned like this? if so what did they get in court?  Just wondering what he'll cop in court cuz he's fkn spewin!

If it's a first offence for driving whilst suspended, the magistrate will probably be lenient and order a fine usually around $250, with a conviction recorded against the drivers record.

If caught driving whilst suspended again, another court appearance, definitely another fine and possibly a jail sentence.

Max penalty in any case is $3000 and/or JAIL.

Imagine having to spend time behind bars just for driving your car.... fcuk that!

Advice: either dont drive whilst suspended, or dont get caught!!!! :D

I think you guys are arguing for no real reason.

I definitely believe we're all on the same size. Unless you are doing something blatantly dangerous (DUI, drifting, dropping donuts in front of cops) losing your license is a bit much.

I know a lot of you guys lose your license is questionable circumstances.

I also really think that to do 130 in a 100 freeway zone is not really a dangerous incident per se - arbitrary limits are just that.

I've been in 110 zones and you know the Skyline can do these things at 180km/h SAFELY.

I don't agree with the laws in NSW let alone Victoria.

But these are the rules we live by.

If NSW and Vic. decided to cancel licenses at the 15 over mark of course it's unfair, just like 30 over. But that's my opinion and the law disagrees.

Unfortunately we all live and die by an arbitrary rule, fair or unfair.

You either abide by it or don't drive.

Or vote people out if that makes a difference.

T.

speeding doesnt mean ur a crap driver

im sick of vic laws

the increase in suspension time and fines and new P plater laws are just ridiculous

at this rate half the P platers will be off the road

and having that much time suspension, when time comes u get back in a car, you're pretty much back to square 1. Your senses aren't as tuned as they were and your driving ability will drop especially in a manual vehicle.

best to do what gordo did. Just change state or country.

Ok firstly I couldn't be bothered reading all the replys so sorry if this is a repeat of another post.

I've been here done that. lost license for 3 months. got pulled over 3 times while having no license and given tickets each time for speeding, wasn't till the 3rd time someone actually checked to see if i had a license and therefore i got ****ed and had to goto court.

got a lawyer went to court

got off with a $500 fine no extra time losted on license and infact no mention of the previous 2 tickets i had got while suspended. got a short speech about how my record is worst then most people who have been driving for three times as long etc and that was that

got my license back 2 weeks later.

currently I have lost my license again have refrained from driving as I figure i won't be so lucky a second time..

anyway just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah unfortunately my mate had a g/f that lives about a 35-40 min drive away....and the skyline was his only car. When he lost his licence he kept on driving just to go see her.....when he got pulled over he was doing the limit. Since he got busted by the cops he knows he cant drive and had to dump his mrs. Poor bastard. Hopefully he gets off light in court cuz he doesnt wanna have to sell his car!

oh i forgot to mention.....they arrested him, canaried his car and are sending him an EPA. With the canary, they only gave him until the next morning 10am so clearing the canary is going to be a hassle because he cant drive it himself. He called down a mate to drive his car home, and after driving for 5 mins the same undercover car pulls them over again, and they fine his fully licenced mate for driving his mates car who just got pinched because he was displaying p plates and they forgot to take them down. Tight. He got reemed nicely

One other thing; some of you guys said you just got a fine or an extra month off driving - did you guys have a lawyer or did you represent myself? My mate contacted a few lawyers and they have said representation will be around the 1500-3000 mark. Is it worth while for him to get a lawyer ?

Thanks for your help so far guys...my mate feels a little bit betta knowing that he might not get 10,00000 zillion years off driving

Sounds like a pure asshole typical vic cop on a power trip.

Why did they arrest him?

They arrested him for giving fake name/details...when they pulled him over he gave one of his mates names. The cops didn't buy the story after checking up a few details with the boys down at the cop shop and that the owner of the car had no licence. He kept bullshitting until they arrested him

I'm thinking he would of got in less trouble if he had told the truth in the first place instead of being foolish and bullshitting. :Oops: And for doing that the police officer had every right to arrest him, so he (the police officer) wasn't on a power trip. Just my 2 cents.

Mustve been a really strong relationship :P... :confused: WhyTF did he bother gettin busted? Shoulda just dumped her straight away and saved the $500 fine and extra bullshit...

im sorry but this has gone from stupid to retarded.

with all those things considered it'll be a min 6 months extra at least once that story gets to court. It'll be a quick, harsh raping. Simple as that.

And breaking up with ya mrs cause she lives 30-40 mins away?

again, POOR!

i lost my license, and i just got on a bus, train(s) to my mrs place (at the time)

sure it took me the best part of an hour on a good day... and 2 on a bad day.

Still didnt break up with her over something as trivial as that.

someone lock this, its a joke.

Why doesn't the slack b1tch drive round herself?

man this is such a lame/poor excuse! letting the missus go cos he stuffed up?!?!?!?! where's the shame? well unless the missus was on the side thing??? but then again, there are some who would rather sleep and F*** their cars?!?!?!? i think its a joke!

cop it on the chin and get on with it!

thanks for all the 2 cents worth.....me personally if i was in the same position with g/f that lived a 40 min drive away; that would translate into a what.....2 hour+ public transport run each way.......stuff that! My rule is dont go out with any1 that ldoesn't live on the same page as u on the melways.......lol.

Anyhows getting off the trivial bulls**t and back to the original question - anyone else got any input regarding penalties for driving while suspended? just interested to know what some other people have copped in court.

thanks for the input so far everyone!

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
