For what it is worth, I have had 2 court appearences over the years, one was for Speed Dangerous to the public (got caught at over double the speed limit) and once for low range DUI. My record is atrocious which did'nt help.
Court is all about respect, I believe in going in with the local lawyer. Wear a suit and have a new hair cut. The local lawyer will know the magistrate, and know what to expect. In both my court appearences we adjourned as the magistrate on duty that day was hardcore. We did better with a more moderate magistrate on another day.
in my experience the money I spent on a lawyer was saved in lesser fines and my suspension period was half what I expected.
WOW bro your screwed . sell your car , dont worry about a lawyer , get ready to forkout money and NO way youll have your license.
yes what joey said. you'll still be in a honda by the time all your mates driving turbos.
if u have a shit car, sell it to pay for fine
if u have a pride and joy, save up for goodies to put on it.
Im serving the a similar sentence. It all depands what and how u acted towards the popo that did u over.
I wouldnt reccomend a lawyer. Just cop that 1 year. the fine is like 2k. Take the 1 year sentence. Defend yourself on the fine. Say you got responsibilities and wat not family commitments. Get 3 very good referrals from public servants if you know any, aka teachers or wat not.
You can try to to go to ToIP at PCYC, could help ur case. But dont expect too much. Open with the apeal to section 10, will get regretted and fight the fine.
1 year and 2k fine. Argue the fine not the 1 year off the road.
My lawyer told me if i wasnt so honest with the popo, I couldve got away wit it.
All honesty man, its hard to get away with that sort of stuff especially because you've been a repeat offender so the judge/prosecutor will only see one thing.
that is, that you willingly did it and you willingly put people lives on the road at risk of injury or death.
My mate got caught street racing, yes it was put down as street racing by the witnessing cop.. he paid big money for his lawyer and also had to pay court fees.
In the end, he still had to serve one year on top of the time he was waiting for his case to go on trial.
Go figure, all that and still cop a year. its pretty hard to contest depending on your situation and record. Best of luck dude, lol ..
A work mate got his license disaqualified for 3 years and his parents paid 20k for a lawyer. he was going to serve jail time but got that 3 years no license and 260 hours community service.
No license, under the influence, no rego and led a police chase LOOL JESUS people. A license is a privilege, lets all respect it.
Could pull the whole family is dysfunctional/alcohol/drugs/part-aboriginal to get a slap on the wrist?
guys i was speeding while drunk in a heeps turbo, unregistered, defected and upsidedown car while in the company of stripper/prostitue midgets(not sure cause popo stoped me), think ill get in trouble?
why do popo try to f**k up my good time? also i had to pay for the whores up front will this count towards my fines?
im sorry but obviously there are some of you whose judgement is soooo poor that perhaps a year or 5 on the bus will do you some good, seriously ive seen enough dumb sh!ts killed to know this aint no game son.
