I hear they still have chain gangs Down at Rangipo Prison Farm
You were looking for a job ast week this could be a break for you

Just imagine - if you had have taken that job that was offered to you, you could afford a lawyer.

Although you probably wouldn't have needed one, seeming how you probably would have been at WORK, instead of fucking around on your bike being an unemployable loser.

I think i read somewhere "you reap what you sow"

You're going to Court. You will be asked to plead guilty or not guilty.

You should take legal advice from a Court-appointed lawyer. They're not on the "same side" as the Police. They will instruct you on your rights and the potential consequences of choosing a a particular plea. Unless you have good witnesses and solid evidence that contradicts the Police's case, you will undoubtedly be found guilty and convicted. Pleading guilty in the first instance may allow you to broker a more advantageous deal than allowing a Judge to throw the book at you.

Take advice from the Court-appointed lawyer. I say that most sincerely as a taxpayer who is picking up the tab for your indiscretion.

But you being pig-headed is what this topic is all about, Mark. Instead of worrying about what the future holds, spend some time reflecting on how you got to where you are today, and use it to grow from.

You asked what's going to happen - you're going to get a salutory lesson in life, and hopefully realise that when people offer you things (that you have sought) in good faith, that you should seriously consider taking those offers up.

[Hitcher]

And anyway, haven't you previously lost your license for traffic offences? As this isn't your "first time", I wouldn't be too hopeful about leniency. Buy yourself a bus pass.

[Krusti]

Anyway without knowing exactly how dangerous you were it is impossible to guess what is likely to happen.

As far as being attached to your bike the court is not going to give a shit. If anything they will tell you that if you were that attached then maybe you should have been more carefull.

if u have fines outsiding they could sell the bike ..............
once impound of 28 days u go pay the cost of impound not pretty that is for sure ............. an then u can have bike back ........

Do what Hitcher said. Dress nicely for court, look sorry, do not smirk. They are going to fine you like you can't imagine. The court appointed lawyer will try and scam it such that you can pay it back at $20/week. However, if you're already doing so due to ... say ... previous convictions then I'd reckon your chances are significantly lowered.

So, yes, they might sell the bike to pay your fine. And you will almost certainly be gaining a criminal conviction. And you will have to own up to it every time you go abroad for the rest of your life and some places may not let you in because of it. (Jokes about Australia and criminal convictions for another day, please). Certainly your insurance costs are going to be through the fucking roof for the next five years at least and probably ten.

You are not gonna do porridge. It's expensive and only, really, for people who pose an ongoing threat to society. Once they've flogged the bike that won't include you.

I'd buy some nice comfy shoes if I were you. And a bus pass. And be thankful you're still fucking alive because many better men and women aren't.
