Just got suspended and lost my licence for 6mths AND NEED ADVICE PLEASE!!

[MWAKU]

ur fukn lucky only 6 months.. i got 16months suspension, $6.5k fine for doing 192km/h on a 100 zone. Lost it 3 days after i got my reds..

Consider ur self lucky and dont ever do it again.

i just read this.. hmm

the on-the-spot fine, you will get is 1,865$ fine. and if you get convicted from the court, the fine is like 2,200$ max, for a first offense. so, if you're on ur reds, you loose ur license for 3 months, for speeding on ur reds, then u loose another 3 months for loosing all your points, then you get the 6 months disqualification from the court, where when you are disqualified, you need to reapply for ur Ls again once its time to get ur license back. so really your looking at 12 months off the road..

which is what OP is really looking at, 6 months disqualification, and 6 months suspension. so he needs to go get his Ls again, once the off-the-road period is finished.

im confused, or did u go court and just get ****ed on?

correct me if im wrong.. but .. yeh

ugh. so many bush lawyers.


You don't go back to your L's after a period of suspension.

In the context we're talking about, 'suspension' and 'disqualification' are interchangeable - they are not separate concepts as your post suggests.

OP is fined $1865 and suspended for 6 months.

A lawyer will cost around $1000. It is unlikely that the fine will be reduced. As I have said before, THE PERIOD OF DISQUALIFICATION CANNOT BE REDUCED except in the case of a finding of not guilty (which isn't going to happen).

A section 10 finding is STILL A CONVICTION.
