Charged with dangerous driving. What's going to happen?

[skidMark]

ok well i got arrested the other day for dangerous driving.

now what i'm wondering is what am i looking at....ive never been arrested before....just some speeding tickets, and lost my license once due to demerits.

now ive looked on the web and it says up to 3 months in prison....

and minimum 6 months loss of license.


yet the officers who arrested me said no jail time due to first offence.

were they right or should i get my soap on a rope ready?.

and also my bike is currently impounded, are they possible going to say they are claiming the bike and resell it...that would absolutely gut me as it has alot of sentimental value to me. the details of which i do not want to go into but involves a kb member who worked on the bike etc.... who is no longer with us as of november ...so i'm pretty sure you all know who i mean....

In my misspent yoof I got charged with careless driving. Go to the police station and ask to make an appointment with the diversion officer. The diversion officer may or may not get the charges dropped in exchange for you making a donation to something. Considering driving history you may be shit out of luck. I had a 100% clean license.

If you do get diversion remember it is almost certain to be your one and only get out of jail free card.

Fret not.

Prison time? Get real. They don't even lock up proper criminals these days. You'll get a fine and suspension of your license.

Take a gun............

I've been arrested heaps of times, just plead not guilty to all the charges, don't even get a lawyer. It's bad enough getting screwed by the cops, don't pay to get screwed by a lawyer as well. A not guilty plea will give them screeds of paperwork, jam the system and generally give you the satisfaction of going head to head with them while you're in the box. They'll probably lie so you should too.

Deny everything.

Have got to ask
What did you do to get Arrested
Come on surley there is an awesome story to go with your worries of jail

[dogsnbikes]

Gee that judge will take a dim view considering you only got your licence back in june.....

so chances are high that 6mths loss is on the cards

[skidMark]

but will they take my bike and sell it? thats what matters to me....it has too much sentimental value, it's currently in impound for 28 days...

With blood shot eyes
And bleedin' hands
I put my new suit
In the cleaners again
Took the first buss
I didn't look back
Lungs long blowin'
Like a smoke stack
Hair fallin' out
As the wind blows through it
My horse ran second
Just like I knew it would
Overflowin' ashtray
Yay

And the Officer said
Better get a lawyer son
Better get a real good one
Get yourself a suit and tie
Get your hair cut way up high
Get yourself a lawyer son
Better get a real good one

I got legs I can walk
All the way down the dirt track
I fell Down
I got up
I turned around then
I walked back
I walked to the sea
I stood there, looked for a sign
It took time
But it came
I added up and took
What was mine

Better get a lawyer son
Better get a real good one
Don't drop the soap
Don't smoke no dope
Get yourself a lawyer son
Your gonna need a good one
To getcha outa this one

I don't think so, unless you are in court arrears of some kind.............that or dealing in drugs.

also any kbers lawyers that would be free next monday at i think it's 9.15 am, if you could donate me some time or sumthing or i dunno...i don't have any money....

and i get the feeling a free oppinted one will be on the cops side.

Man you are a worry. Last week we had to give you advice about getting a job. Now you need advice on another event involving what a lot of people will attack you for, as it seems a predominant part of your lifestyle. You didn't get on video for us to see did you ? and please don't say it was outside a school or involved double yellow line passing. Sorry I just had to ask. Pulling heart strings bout the sentimental value "event" wont get much sympathy here either.

Not sure Mark as I do not have a crystal ball, however.

Considering your well documented (on kiwibiker) history of being a squid, you might be in for a good dose of kharma as prescribed by the NZ justice system (YEA RIGHT!!!).
As for the notion of them selling your bike? I'm sure thats just a case of having the worst case senario pointed out. But you never know, with the recient change in boyricer legislation or more to the point, the possibility of the local ploddies knowing your past misbehaving, time will tell.

As far as your sexual fantasies, please keep them to yourself. However one thought that I have had is: Do they have internet access in goal? If not then there is the possibility of no skidMark for 6 months?
