Gone and lost my licence!!

If she is actually paying them weekly then they won't have tripled, it is only when you don't pay them at all you find 2 or 3 years later you owe 3x as much.

A mate didn't pay like $5000 worth for years, then when they finally caught up with him when he went back to court he owed over $15000 apparently.


It can seriously take a long time for them to finally take the lisence, so you could just make yourself scarce until a time when you are best suited to a three month holiday from driving (if you choose not to drive DQ).

What a dick, maybe he should have been a grown up and paid his fines???????

[ManDownUnder]

Not most cops. Did you know that most cops look at the date of a rego, but not the make/model/cc rating of said registered vehicle. That's why people on learners or restricteds can sometimes get away with being on a bigger bike. Stupid piggies.

Isn't that supposing they don't have discretion to overlook some things... maybe to let you off rather than beat you up over every last damned thing they could?

Or have I been talking to too many said piggies?

Yes, some in the force are stupid... but not many. Most are able to read postings on websites too... (hint hint)

Demerit points are recorded from the date of offence. Ring the LTSA for yourself.

If not, then why do people loose their lisence for demerit points even though the fines have NEVER been paid.

I have a nice wee letter at home that arrived a few weeks ago stating I am nearing 100, which clearly outlines how demerits are recorded from the date of offence. I will quote it or even scan it when I get home tonight.

Last time I got ticketed the lady clearly let me know I was now on 90 points from that date...and she had only just given me the ticket.

[speights_bud]

The ticket plainly states on the back that points are recorded when the fine is paid.

Agreed, i think this works on the basis that if you be a good little citizen and don't argue the point writing the cops letters etc and just pay the fine straight away instead of waiting a month for the reminder notice then almost another month after that before paying it, then it's 2 less months you have to wait before the demerits go 'bye bye' after 2 years.

However i can understand how some people may interpret(sp?) the ticket as the demerits are only applied when paid, but they are entered as being gained on the date of the infringement.

Bugger about the demerits though vixter, i know after i got my second lot (now sitting on 40) it slowed me down enough on day to day riding. I could do with the gixxer if it wasn't for this damn restricted license thing...

[hXc]

You've been mislead, sorry. It says on any ticket you get, that demerit points are recorded when you pay the fine.

[vixter]

demerits don't get processed untill the fine is payed off
go into the district corts collection office and make up a sob story about being broke, try to get the payments on the fines as low as possible this.
youl atleast have a licence for summer, and if it's your first time loosing it, it should only be 3 months

did that... paying 10 bucks a week off my fines good to know if the de merits are not in place yet

anyone know whats best way of checking

[The_Dover]

phone foodtown.

they should know.

[vixter]

so you sit on 90 demerits, but that doesn't slow you down.

you get pinged for 150k - that's a roadside suspension

you get charged with 120k, that's chickenfeed compared

and you complain? and 'have' to sell your bike?

what a fucking whinger.

have you actually got a bike

However i can understand how some people may interpret(sp?) the ticket as the demerits are only applied when paid, but they are entered as being gained on the date of the infringement.

Doesn't this contradict yourself?

[vixter]

She rides a bike, so what?

She, like me rides a bike. We have a God given right, no make that duty to ride fast. She has every right to complain. I'd be pissed too, especially if he was a ginger.

hey cheers for that fatjim your the man!!

[ManDownUnder]

What the ticket says seems to contradict what the LTSA says.

but... what does the law say?

[The_Dover]

Let's ask Judge Brett.......

[boomer]

Who gives a shit.. bunch of handbag throwing bitch's. This threads about ViX and me having a seven fiddy to ride on for a year.

nob jockies.

[cowpoos]

Get a grip you dipshit. I was directing that comment at the person who actually started this thread. She said she had to wait for a summons...not you.

You only made the stupid suggestion that demerit points aren't recorded until you pay the fine. If had ever received enough demerits you would have received a letter warning you're nearing 100, on this you can plainly see and read that demerits are recorded on the date of offence. I think it even says this on the back of a ticket/reminder.

Further evidence can be found when people loose their lisences on demerit points, when they haven't paid a single fine in their lives.

Get your shit sorted man, maybe it has changed in the last 2 years, because their used to be loopholes regarding this...but that's how it works now.

hmmmm....your sheep not putting out?

hmmmm....your sheep not putting out?

Don't see a lot of sheep in the city of Dunedin where I live and work so you have me confused???
