i lost my license back for a 3 months suspension in late march and i am meant to be getting it back june 27th, but a few nights ago, i got caught drivin without a license again

i had only 2 more weeks and this would of been all sweet, i cant believe it

I now have to attend a court summons soon, i have a FEW questiosn i would hope can be answered

1. Does anyone know what Im lookin at? How long suspension? and how big fine?

2. is there anyway to appeal or get out of this? I heard something about a "section 10" ???

3. Will i be able to drive my Skyline after i get my license back, lets say if its a 12 month ban? Im a red P plater

Im just hopin i can drive it, i only had it for 2 months b4 losin my license in march, then now this, i h8 it

thanks

Well to be not to play the blame game but this is the reason why this law is put in place to stop offenders from driving.

Just pay the fine or something and take public transport :)

What were you thinking when you took your friend home. Tsk Tsk..

"Self inflicted" Yes I agree..

i reckoned ur friend should chip in to the fine you're going to copped because if its wasnt for him u wont be in this mess aye? either way its comes to common courtesy or just being ur friend to help you out in some way. my 2 cents.

Section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999 gives the magistrate an opportunity to dismiss a charge even though you've been found guilty. It would be also possible to be placed on a good behaviour bond through this as well. They would take into account factors such as your circumstances, character, etc.

But seeing as you were already suspended and reoffended I don't think you'd be able to use this.

Habib, you are EXACTLY the type of P-plater this law is targetting.

Although it sounds like you couldn't give a toss about licence suspensions, so why you would care about a power restriction, I have no idea.

a section 10 with good behaviour bond is not applicable unless you are on your full license, so forget about that..

and i am quite sure you will get hammered in court, especially with all the bad publicity lately, if i were you i would put my car up for sale right now, you will probably have to wait a 3 years before being able to drive one again! (until u get your full license)

looks like you will not be able to drive it...doesn't the new law say that if you already have your p's but have your license suspended then when you get them back after the date the new law comes in, then you cant drive performance cars...think that what i read in the paper...

simple fact is that you shouldn't have been driving, and your friend should realise that you haven;t got a licesne so shouldn't have got you to drive...if he can afford to pay part of the fine then he can afford to pay for a taxi...

thats bs that means i cant drive my skyline till im 25 or so
No, it's not BS. You broke the law, now you have to suffer the consequences.

You obviously don't take the law seriously considering you lost your license 3 months after you got it and then had the arrogance to defy your driving disqualification and drive again without your license. I'm sorry mate, but seriously, what were you thinking?

As said above, the law is designed to target people like yourself. I know the penalty may seem harsh, but perhaps next time you'll think before you deciding to break the rules.

Sorry to say dude, but you're going to get raped in court. Expect ~$1500 fine and 12 month CANCELLATION of licence.

I'm currently suspended/cancelled for 3 months - it's not worth the risk driving dude, don't have your licence? Don't go hopping in the car (unless you ain't driving anywhere but up/down your driveway :cheers:) and definitely do NOT go dropping mates off...

What you've done now is considered a "major offence" and if you do another TWO of those in the next 5 years, expect worse and worse penalties... ranging from heavy fines and further suspensions/cancellation of licence, and 3 year MINIMUM bans!

Sell your Skyline, use some of the money for a GOOD lawyer - to try to get the penalty down to a minimum... then when you get your licence back in a year or so - buy some N/A car that's going to keep you out of trouble... non turbo skyline maybe...

Good luck man, you're going to need it!

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
