    In the ACT, and I beleive it's the same elsewhere now, it's a mandatory 12 months, and not elligible for a work license. The tarmac Nazis of the state Govt's have set it up this way in order to guarantee there pork-barrelling funds.

    Alfie, over here yoou canm get a license for work only purposes if you lose you're license and can prove that a work one is required. At least you used to be able till the Labor Govt's figured they could screw the public for more ethnic/fag loving pork barrelling funds.

    I think thats a good way about things at least you can keep your license for work and keep paying your taxes and rent/mortgage and stay off the dole.

    It's false economy if the governments think that by banning people completely from the road for speeding a few times etc and imposing huge fines that they will make money, they have got it totally wrong as all that will happen is the person they banned will more than likely lose everything and then become a financial burden to the state which will have to eventually support them which costs fucking big time.

    I forget how much the uk government is losing per week but it is millions of pounds in lost taxes due to people losing their driving licenses not thru drink driving or other serious driving offenses but thru accumulating 12 points on the license and getting a ban from speed cameras.
    There are so many speed cameras in the uk now you could go visiting friends and family get caught by speed cameras at just over the speed limit four times without knowing it and wham a few days later no license and if you need your license for work well thats just tuff shit.
    You lose everything.
    Some people are even being put in prison which costs the tax payer over £200 per day to keep them there.

    You would think the fucking stupid governments would fuckin well realize how fucked up the system is.

    Thats me all ranted out now





    Sorry catch for hijacking your thread

    Yes Alfie, but here in Oz the federal Govt gets the taxes, and the State Govt's get the speeding fine revenue. So the State Govt's don't give a fuck, unless of course you're ethnic, indigenous, queer or some other sort of minority they can pork barrel votes from.

    I mean let's face it, it just so much more important that a bunch of fags can play at being in a real marriage than someone be able to earn a quid to support there families.

    You obviously ain't ridin' hard enough then is ya



    I've been caught 3 times at one intersection. it's one as you leave the centre of Canberra, where that thieving fag stanhope lowered the speed limit just prior to installing the cameras. They collect 520 tickets a day from the one intersection, in a town with a population of 300,000. That's 3500 per week, 175,000 per year, more than one ticket each for half the population. Bunch of thieving, vermin pandering, traitorous dogs in govt here, and the AFP are nothing more than their money garnering lap dogs these days.

    Hey Catchmeifyoucan I think from what you said with the fines etc you should change your username to "Beencaughtandgoingtocourt" Sounds more like your current situation. LOL...

    I got done for speeding here in The USA and got banned for 12 months, I got a cinderella licence so I could go to work, If I remember I could drive from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday. If I got caught outside this time I had to serve a three month sentence which is probation for the twelve month ban. Not that the ban ever stopped me from screwing around on the bike...

    Got caught doing 135mph in a 55 zone..

    Hey Tacky, I think I have one of those cinderella licences. After midnight my bike turns into a pumpkin and doesn't start.

    Maybe not, but in all my years of riding, I have generally found that the police hang around those pesky speed signs as you enter towns and STRAIGHT roads, and, as you know, any tool can twist the right hand and *gasp* actually go fast and break the speed limit! I really like going fast around corners, I have found that police presence is somewhat reduced in the twisties so therefore, I take it easy on the straights and give it shit in the twisties.... it could also mean that I am blessed too, then again, I used to play Rugby in Queanbeyan and got to know the local police, funny how you meet your fellow players and they turn out to be the local police, happens in other towns I have lived in too! [8D][8D][8D] Then there was another time in the '70's when I was a bad-arse bikie scumbag, we used to drink with a retired copper at our local pub, I was doing 160 in a 60 zone.. copper arrested me and a mate, threw us in the back of the car, then the old Sargeant arrived and we were told to piss-off, no ticket either! Think I might be a little bit blessed chalkie, but, yeah, you could be right

    If you're going to court and your record is shit, get yourself some legal representation, you're gonna get screwed either way, but your legal eagle may help you get slightly less screwed, 'bout all I can say

    Your record sounds a lot like mine, Catch. In NSW, when you ride suspended, it's a fuck you to the RTA. When you ride cancelled, it's a fuck you to the judicial system (which they don't like as much). I was busted with a cancelled licence, and got a 2year ban and community service (which was better than weekend detention), but no fine.
    Even getting things as simple as character references from your boss/local priest/hooker will help. Maybe sell you bike to a mate,show the court you've sold it to remove temptation, etc.
    Then buy it back. Or do what i did, buy a wreck, and start buying parts.
    more titanium than my bike
