OP - you're an adult now, not a minor/child.

children don't have the experience or maturity to make their own decisions. Thats why there are parents or guardians to make the important decisions for you.
As an adult you have on your own accord decided to get your own license.
On your own will you have gone out in public and decided to speed 170+ km/h in a 70km/h zone? wtf.....

please don't bother us with your consequences that have stemmed from your stupid decisions.
Questions like do i have to go to court, do i have to pay fines, how much fines do i have to pay, can i get off on paying...... etc, etc.

your decisions could have seriously injured or more likely killed someone. ruined the life's of their loved ones.

in my opinion you deserve to never drive again.
you should serve jail time.

piss off dickhead

totally agree.

I'm so ON-70-YU Bau

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.

u have to go back to ur L's after you have been disqualified....

his getting disqualified if he goes to court, as disqualified means u have been convicted in court.. i never said u go back to ur Ls when u finished ur suspension

disqualified and being suspended is different. i know that

what you mean they are interchangeable. im just figuring it out, once he gets disq, does he undergo the suspension he recieves from the RTA.

[Alexplicit]

currently in the same situation. although not in a public area , not cool about that part. 45 and over. i copped it on the chin and told the police officer straight up i was in the wrong.

seriously buddy dont take this to court. you will fail massivly. the magistrate will punish you so much worse then what you have now. being on your red's and all. you should have a look at the casualty rate of drivers and have a look at how many of those are p platers. this is what the judge will tell you.

i am however curious to know when i get my licence back. i had 4 points when i got my licence taken off me . do i serve 6 months and then get my licence back?

arg.
no. you do not go back to your L's if you are convicted in court. that is incorrect.

if he is convicted in court, there is not a period of disqualification, followed by the period of suspension. its the SAME as if OP did not elect to have the matter heard in court - unless the magistrate decides to increase the period of suspension.


please stop talking, you don't know what you're on about.

[MWAKU]

pretty sure if he gets convicted in court and he gets disq. so then needs to go back to his Ls.

[flipfire]

Suspension is the period you cannot drive.

Disqualification means your license is revoked and you need to go to RTA re-apply for it at the end of your disqualification period (not necessarily mean you go back to your L's). Though i have heard of people going back to their L's by order of a magistrate.

So you can get your license suspended by demerit points and then disqualified by a court.

If a demerit point licence suspension period is interrupted by a court disqualification, the unserved suspension period may need to be served at the end of the disqualification period.

If you reach or exceed your demerit point limit during a period of disqualification, you may be refused a licence when you re-apply for a licence at the end of the disqualification period. If you are refused a licence, you may be eligible to apply for a good behaviour licence instead of a period of refusal.

no, you can also be disqualified from driving without going to court. and you can have a period of suspension altered by a court (but not lower than the minimum period).

true but that why they just gave me 45 and over they didnt catch my speed just saw me speed down the road and chase after me and i said i didnt see how fast i was going they kept asking me and yea i just said i dnt know i wasnt look and they gave me 45 and over
