Over $1k in fines... Over 100 demerits too...

[avgas]

Im not a dangerous cunt, just a stupid one... need to sharpen up a bit methinks.

Yep. Its all relative, just think of what you could do with $1K to spend on your bike. Not to mention the up coming court costs.
I used to be stupid, now im not so reckless with either my life or my money.

Finally heard back from the courts regarding my license loss in june (which i pleaded guilty for with a nice letter)

Its not a letter saying what ive been done for, just one saying how am I going to pay the $780 fine that I didnt know about... and that an appointment has been made for me on monday the 8th about arranging payment... well its the 10th today...

Now that sucks, making an appointment and the letter arriving late, You will probably find that as you were 56 k over the limit that can mean an immediate loss of license

Speeding
Speeding fines progressively increase for speeds in excess of 10 kilometres an hour, with a maximum fine of $630 where the speed is up to 50 kilometres an hour over the limit. Speeds in excess of this limit come into the careless / dangerous / reckless categories depending on circumstances, and also incur a mandatory 28 day licence suspension.

You may be looking at a lot more yet...

Reckless or dangerous driving [sect 35]
Imprisonment for up to 3 months, or a fine not exceeding $4,500, or both, and disqualification for at least 6 months

Hopefully you have learnt, maybe you need to get in to bucket racing where you can channel the desire for speed in relative safety and slow down on the road

Red rep me all you want Morcs - what a classic fucked up situation... and all your own doing (well apart from the letter arriving a day late, ring the courts pronto and point it out to them.. it won't be a first I'm sure - keep the postmarked envelope as evidence in case it's needed).

Beyond that - it reminds me of a chat I was having with another KBer last weekend. My wife asked him why he's so involved and it was basically to pass on survivial skills.

She then precced to ask further, stating it's the other guy you need to worry about, to which he responded with a very eloquent description of those most likely to be hurt due to lack of self control. His word were eloquent, mine are considerably less so but they were - in essence - young dumb and full of cum.

Take it board man. I'd rather be unpopular than visit you in hospital.

Reckless or dangerous wasnt the charge. They cannot charge me for that If they didnt do so in the first place (thank god)

No worries Nigel, im swallowed a lot of humble pie, especially with having to pay out $1400 in fines this month. and a suspension looming on the horizon... got to rego 2 bikes this month too...

[Karma]

young dumb and full of cum.

I meet two of those requirements... does that mean I'm only 66.6% as likely to die?

Closer to 95% if it's the last two...

Respect - and bling. Onya

[vifferman]

It might pay to wait and see if you can actually use them before you fork out the rego fees.

[Mountlocal1]

Hey I got done for speeding (74 in a 50, 2am boondocks) not carrying license, carrying pillion and riding bike bigger than my license (learners) The cop was great. Let me off the speed. And told me the others had no demerit points... Bugger me I hope he was right!

[moT]

Wow the amount of abuseing in this thread is ammusing.. here is some advice pete when you go to court talk to a lawyer (its free) and see if they can do anything for you if they can let them represent you the courts wont think you are trying to get away with anything you are intitled to a defence (this is also free) if the lawyer advise that you plead guilty, plead guilty.. I also reccomend that if you end up with a shit load of fines after this go back to court and apply to pay off all your fines with community service. you can choose where to do the community service (i reccomend old ppl home gardening or something) its nice and easy and the old ppl treat you good, dont let the probation place pick a place for you!!! This is a fantastic way to payy of fines they the ammount of hrs for the ammount of fines you have turns out to be a very good hourly wage eg: $100p/h (i shit you not)

Also if you think of driveing or rideing when disqualified (which is very naughty and highly not reccomended but if you think of it i heard this works very well) make sure ur vehicle i warrented and has rego and get a mate who has a licence and get his ok to learn his details learn his full name, date of birth and address (this is all the details you need to give the cop) you might get a fine for not producing drivers licence of $50 or something (which you will have to play ur mate but better than getting caught for disqualified driveing)

hate to burst ya boiler mate, but while checking your licence details over the radio in order to write a ticket for not producing your licence, it would be quickly discovered what the status was, and you'd be in cuffs and your ride on the back of a truck before you could say 'bugger'

[BIGBOSSMAN]

Shit, this is taking a while Pete - what's the current status?
It'll be interesting seeing how it's dealt with - my bud on his 636 (name changed to protect the guilty) was busted 2 weeks ago (as you saw) on the ATNR, no dangerous driving/careless use but an immediate 28 day suspension and a future court date.
Speed was 165kmh - will he get a further loss of licence? Or not...

[moT]

as i said bad idea you wld have to be a dick wad to do it but it can work

[scumdog]

Bugger.

Just went over to pick my Gf up from the shore last night, hardly ridden all week so was going a bit faster through those nice roads heading into glenfield... Pulled a nice 2 up wheelie from the lights too... bad behaviour really...

Cop pulls behind me at the lights with Discos flashing, I pull over and act normal and calm...

Cop was obviously a noob, she took my license and was sat in the car for ages, obviously having to look up my license conditions to see what she could rape me for...

Was speeding, 74kph in a 50. $170 fine and 35 demerits.
Had a pillion, $400 fine and 25 demerits
Was riding a 400cc, $400 and 25 demerits (which I got let off)

On top of this I recently put a guilty plead in for being 56kph over the limit on the ATNR, so looking at least $650 and no more than 50 demerits.

So pretty sure ill be over 100 demerits, just wondering how long the license loss is? is it 28 days or 6 months?

All up im rather pissed off, I know the law is the law blah blah but none of these incidents was dangerous at all in each circumstances...

Anyone flaming me when I know whats wrong will get red rep... really not in the mood..

Always said that good entertainment don't come cheap

Give it a go if you feel lucky punk - but when it goes pear-shaped? - Hoooo-boy! $$$$$$$$$ flying out the window is all you'll hear.

Hasn't worked on me yet, a few have tried..
