Sparky Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hey guys, a few of you may know that about 6 months ago i had my car taken under the section 59 act for alleged "dangerous driving".Well i just got back from court and the verdict was that i should be disqualified from driving as of today and commit to 100 hours of community service. However the case has been ajurned until 3 weeks time where they will tell me how long the disqualification will be for (minimum 12 months!!!!)Looking on the brightside though it gives me a year to get the starlet how i want it ready for next summer This is not the end of Project Starlet .............its just the beginning ;) ;) This means im saving money and not wasting it on petrol and tyres etc etcExpect some big changesSprky Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 It was when i was overtaking a car doing 15mph in a 30 zone but there was no overtaking rules as there were road works and a riot van happened to be coming the opposite way to me.The dodgy cops though made it seem worse than it was in the statement and whos the court gonna believe. Didnt have a hope in hell!!!!Ive got alot of time to decide what to do to the car but first things first, bodywork and seats!!!Got a few engines plans in consideration not sure what to go for though ;) They will be sorry when im back MWAHAHAHAHAHA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Thats an absolute shitter Sparky mate!For a bullshit reason, guess it was the wrong place at the wrong time!Overtaking in town happens all the time (30 zone) but only when its clear!Keep your head up bro, nice to see you're not giving up!& hopin u only get the minimum 12 month ban, nothing more!Talk SoonPeace OutJoz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Cheers people It wasnt town Joz it was a main road normally 50mph but road works so it was a 30 limit. Nice and clear but a cop van came over the brow in the distance. made it seem alot worse than it was ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Icarian Wings Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 For whats it's worth, I recommend a bus pass, I hade to share my car with my sis for a bit, and having a bus pass, while not very 'bling' will save you a huge pile of cash, and mean you can use the bus whenever you want without having to carry cash, and feeling daft for spending 50p to travel half-way down a roadThe law hates the modders, but were easier to bully than real crminals like the dealers/thugs/muggers/etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Cheers wings but ill just scav lifts off mates etc or walk lolI could do with using my legs a bit now lolYes will keep you guys updated on the progress of starletTake it easy and watch out for the filth ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Nope i only go out on the piss once i week now Will be hardcore saving nowOh yea had a letter off the court and they are takin the piss now, rekon i gota do an extended retest aswell!!!Its getting beyond mun, someone driving without a liscense wouldnt get that much of a penalty.I fucking hate the Law ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragon78 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 The law take the fucking piss shoot the lot of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 rekon i gota do an extended retest aswell!!!Everyone who gets banned from driving has to take an extended driving test as far as I'm aware -- although that might just be for reckless/careless driving.It's really just another test -- if you can drive properly you can pass it.

Sparky Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 I heard in the extended retest you have to talk through everything your doing olike if someones in front slowing you gotta say the car in front is slowing so i am goin to brake and shit like that!!Im just going to appeal against it because drink drivers get less of a sentence than that!!! That is what i call dangerous driving!!!!I knew what i was doing, someone who is pissed dont and are more liable to cause an accident!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
