All up close to 2000 he has to pay. Most expensive 6 seconds of his life.
Are there any other charges his got to be aware of? I'd also like to know.
impounding fee will be way more than that aye, how long they impound it for?
What, they made him damage his bumper??
One month. The going rate is $11 a day I think. Plus approx $200 for the towing to a top secret metro impound lot. Hopefully it wont be any longer.Quote:

Police officer took a real nasty tone with him and said "YOU WILL DO AS I SAY". So he drives up, police officer doesnt see a big arse rock and his bumper broke.Quote:

im willing to plead at a lessor charge of speeding or accept a good behavior bond
the towing yard will also be made to cover damages on my car
having a clean record and admitting to speeding for reasons of seeing my old man on his death bed have helped me though i still dont know what the outcome is going to be
i admit that i was speeding - but the speed they allege is ridiculous - my passenger at the time (a sensible, older family friend - would never allow me to do such a thing)
i expect the fine to be $500 - $1000 and legal fees will most likely be around $2000
so meh ... sux eh lol
WOW WTF they damaged your car? Which impound lot is this?Quote:

Yeah it will be on your criminal record. this has happen to myself, you wont win against the words of the coppers because pretty much every wrong move is pretty much frown upon.
What happen was that i went to court to get my car back from the impound after 2 weeks. 200 something
Next i went into court for the verdict and offered to do a Traffics Offender Program were my case was adjourned to a later date
After the program i was due back in court were i received a 10 month suspension and 1100 for promote/take part in street race and negligent driving.
The other person received a much smaller fine due to a clear record. Since i had minor offences on my record, the court gave me a larger fine.
so on my behalf, i would say person A is in for quite a large fine and a 1 year suspension.
If he's case is held at the Fairfield court i would say, hope that you get the male judge and ask if you could do a traffic offenders program and after that hope that you get the male judge again to do the final verdict because he's pretty lenient. If you get female judge your pretty much screwed lol this is from my experience anyways, hope this helps
this coming first hand from someone.Quote:
