I just got a 9 month suspension and $750 fine for Reckless Driving (inherently dangerous). My story in short (on my statement of material facts) is that I was doing 204kmph in a 100 zone, with a passenger, and left 75m worth of skids before doing a 180 spin and bogging the car. Very bloody stupid of me... and even more so for putting my (ex now) best mate in severe danger.

Just out of curiostity, Whats your worst conviction?

Im just interested because I think I was very lucky and got a very low penalty for what I did. Im far from gloating. Im a fckn idiot for doing what I did, especially endangering the life of my passenger.

There were about 10 driving charges I saw in court this morning and some people do some crazy shit, so Im just wondering if anyone else would care to share what theyve done.

turned the corner on the horseshoe bridge (on the way up) too fast and screeched my tyres...... and then 3 cops on bikes at the blue cat stop turned around and rode towards me and pulled me over on wellington st...

100$ fine for not having my P's up... consider myself lucky...

but other than that, in my 5 yrs of having my license, clean sheet... go me... *touches wood*

I got done for not paying my rego (3 weeks or so overdue) and the cop gave me a court summons for it. I had to either go to court and plead guilty, or fill in a form saying that I plead guilty. inc $200 fine

BTW.. i was doing nothing wrong, going the speed limit, indicating etc.. he was just a di ckhead cop with nothing else better to do (obviously they rid WA of criminals that day) :P

Well i just got miy lic back today. Lost it for :

90 in a 70 -3 points

0.06 on double demrits/fast eddies run - 6points

and last but not least "turning in front of oncoming traffic" - 3points

The last one consquently wrote off a 86 corrola that nailed me in the ass and caused a fair amount of damage to the supra. 3 weeks later i got it out of the repair shop and went for a cruise.

3 Points and $150. Was originally Reckless driving charge (9 points and ?????I think) but I fought it in court.

Tried to outrun a cop on a motorbike through the suburbs. He claimed in court that I reached 150km/h on a particular street. I presented a Lands and Survey Department map that showed the street was only 300 metres long and argued that my car (which was wrongly described in the police statement as a Nissan Pulsar) could not possibly have done that as it "was only a 4 cyl Nissan" and that the cop was grossly exagerating the facts.

The judge said I wasn't an angel but he sided my way more than the cop's and hence discounted the charge considerably.

I was driving my old S15 at the time which was running a Garret GT25/35 supported by big injectors, PFC, front mount etc.

Oh, btw, I think that the cop was actually pretty well on the money with his statement - just wrote down the car model by mistake!
