No car from Jan 5th

Post Sat Dec 24, 2005 12:49 pm

I doubt anybody will see me at any meets as my car will be off the road from Jan 5th. Amount of time it will be off is dependant on the Judge. Let's just leave it at that

Ouch, i havent been able to drive my car since 25th september, luckily only because i suspended the insurance as im not allowed it at uni. Its not fun mate!

Post Sat Dec 24, 2005 1:02 pm

sorry to hear that mate,so it wont be a happy christmas for you then

i got banned in 1995 for 4 years and 150 hours community service for doing 132 in a 60 in the early hours of the morning, was a nightmare not being able to drive that long but it gave me the time to build my project

are you going to allaborate on your case?

Post Sat Dec 24, 2005 1:09 pm

4 years! I'm looking at 12months according to the copper. Possible that I can take a "course" to have it reduced by three months. Am gonna plead the need car for work case and see if I can get it reduced even more but I doubt it. And they won't take kindly the outstanding speeding ticket (hence I'm unable to produce my driving licence).

Not sure if I'm gonna keep car for project or sell up and save for a decent sport (325). Have to see how things go.

Hoshy what did u do!

If you do get banned for 12 months, finish the MAF and do a project mate you might as well! Il lift u to ace dude if u get the 12 months also

bad luck though!

im guessing that if your expecting a years ban hoshy,but reckon it can be reduced by 3 months if you attend a "course" then it sounds like either dangerous/careless driving or the dreaded drink driving.....correct me if im wrong......

Post Sun Dec 25, 2005 10:12 am

it has to be dangerous driving in hoshys case...... :lol:

Post Tue Dec 27, 2005 8:21 pm

fuzzy has hit the nail on the head. it was the dreaded drink. I'm *so * ashamed!

Dan, I'm thinking you're car might make a good lab-rat for the MAF project if you're up for it? I'm gonna be leaving the car in Shrewsbury whilst I'm not driving it so I need somebody else's e30 to play with

Im on a dangerous driving ban
There aint a course you can do to reduce the ban length

And you can only appeal to the courts (about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£500 to get it that far) for a ban reduction if you got 3 years or more. I got 2

If you do get it back into the courts it could also be made longer

I wish id have been pissed

I think

Post Tue Dec 27, 2005 8:46 pm

sorry to hear that dude.... i reckon id stab myself.....

nonetheless..... sort a sideways weapon out!!!

Post Tue Dec 27, 2005 8:51 pm
