Hmmm...don't think diversion applies to traffic offences.
Depends on the prosecuting officer's zealousness?? Careless Use - 1st offence. But coupled with the Failing to Stop and outside licence class.
Don't hold your breath, but you might get lucky and keep that licence.

[Edbear]

Appreciate your candour, but it never ceases to amaze me the number of people who just continue to ride on their learner's. Six years? Riding a thou? Why, oh why, don't people just get their full licence?

Just think. Six years of wondering when you'll get done. The stress each time you ride and see a cop following you or come across a checkpoint. Riding with no insurance. Is it worth it? You probably wonder about now...

[mstriumph]

that's tough
and soooooooooooo embarrassing! :Oops:

respect for posting and risking even MORE embarrassment ....

................... but most of the peops that are gonna give you grief about it on here will have done either it or something similar themselves at one time or another ........


as the man said "welcome - you'll fit right in on here" :whistle:

[The Stranger]

Everyone makes mistakes, good on you for accepting responsibility.
What did you do to incur the careless charge?

[dilz]

thanx mate,ah got the careless for running he didnt want to make it dangerous because he didnt feel i endangered any1 directly,he was a nice guy lucky for me.

[blue eyed savage]

cops dont do diversion for traffic stuff. suxs a, i got a criminal record for doing a burn out about 4 years ago.

[dilz]

lol thanx for the support

I guess there's hope for you yet. :Punk:As Blue Velvet says, many just can't seem to learn. We all make mistakes, but admitting them and learning from them makes a better person.

Some learn the easy way, some learn the hard way. I think my son is beginning to realize his old man may just know a little bit about some things...:doh:

I know a good reasonably priced lawyer if you are looking for one.
He came recommended from another KBer and has represented a few of us from time to time.

What he said :Pokey:

Seriously, sometimes you get away and sometimes you dont... it stings when you dont tho :spanking:

Welcome to KB, the place overinundated with would-be back-yard bush-lawyers who will (freely) offer their particular brand of "law knowledge and advice", some of it dating back to pound/shilling&pence days - and almost as much use.

All things considering you MAY well get diversion - do something about your licence status before your Court appearance and it will add brownie points to your benefit.

im on my learners(6yrs running) riding a thou.

Best you look at advancing the ladder pronto mate, seriously! to borrow a phrase "JUST DO IT!" You are not the only one riding around on a bigger than legally allowed to bike, but 6 years???? Get a move on! Will all look like good brownie points when you appear in court.

This is very good advice! Add a few $ to your fine bill but well worth it.

PS: I borrowed the title from your own words......live and learn springs to mind here! Best of luck with it!

[Skyryder]

I just hope that with the rest of your riding you don't do anything as stupid.

It could cost a lot more than a trip to the court..............like a trip to the morgue. But I think you know that.

[Mikkel]

Kudos for sharing that!

I'm just curious - what is a half-hearted runner? Sticking to the speedlimits - sort off...?

Anyway, as others have said good luck in court, get your license sorted ASAP and get yourself at least a 3rd party insurance.

I know it's considered lame but the LTSA recognised course could work in your favour by:

1. reducing your time on a restricted licence to 3 months if over 25 (12 months if under), and
2. showing the courts you're doing something responsible to change your situation.

http://www.landtransport.govt.nz/licensing/car/restricted.html

If you successfully complete an approved course, the length of time you must hold your restricted licence for may be reduced:

- to 12 months for those aged under 25 years
- to three months for those aged 25 or older.

*Disclaimer: Don't lash me for mentioning this course, I'm doing so because it's an approved LTSA course. I did it to reduce time on restricted licence but it was pretty painful as the content and delivery is very teen focused. :dodge::bleh:

[jrandom]

... it was pretty painful as the content and delivery is very teen focused.

You're... you're old?

:shit:

Well, there goes another carefully-nurtured internet fantasy.

Depends where you're looking from. I thought she looked quite young really.:confused:

Careless is Divertable nowadays. Recent changes and all.....

Depending on the seriousness of the "pursuit" the failing to stop may also be able to be dealt with as well.
