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

[Zilli]

i have a friend who got caught speeding when disqualified. He went to court, represented himself, got off the fine, but his 12 months stands.

Mr Will, can you provide me with the relevant link to any act which outlines the inability to reduce the suspension/disqualification?

It's just im trying to help him out with some contacts i have, and if i can understand the appropriate act etc etc, then i will stop wasting my time

so what happens if you already have an offence on your P2's (3 demerit points) then you get your license suspended for 6 months? does that mean when you get your license back you loose it for another 3 months?

[MWAKU]

i dont even understand how that would work? when it comes to green Ps, you don't get the auto suspension for speeding. so you only lose ur license from loss of points, or on the spot suspension from the cop, which comes with point loss, depending. (tho not 100% on the on the spot thing)

[MikeyG]

on the spot depends on you have done... mwaku e.g street racing etc

[MWAKU]

so, i still dont get what steves saying, if u have 3 points left, and some how u get suspended for 6 months, when u get off it, u get suspended for another 3, so 9 in total?

i dont think so.

[MWAKU]

the only thing is if, u had 3 points left, then u got an on-the-spot fine, and suspension ordered from the officer, immediately of 6 months, and also a total of more than 2 demerit points, you will loose it for that 9 months

6 months police suspension, then 3 months RTA suspension (for loss of points)

i had 6 months on the spot for speeding 45+ (200km in 100km zone) , i had lost 2 points already on greens 2 months later i recieved letter for another 3 months

yeah thats what i meant, in the p2's you get auto suspended for 30km/h and over suspensions. was that 2 points just something minor gsi_psi? ie.wouldnt of lost your license cause of it?

[Ryan_Chandler]

You cannot fight the law in this case. This happened to a mate of mine only last month and he tryed to make his suspension shorter and the cops just would not allow it. Try to take some good out of this break and think that next time your behind the wheel you might not want to do such a thing... where you can get caught

[bennjamin]

so you got busted for a lesser speed , and a lesser fine....and you are asking if you can get off even more ?


GTFO learn a lesson.
