Re: Handheld Device Ticket?

A conviction for that offence is only 3 points, unless you have other points on your licence you shouldn't get the suspension. A G1 or G2 driver gets the 30 day suspension when they get 4 points in total.

Re: Insecure load - open for discussion

The word blow is in reference to light loads such as leaves, tree branches and things like that, loose paper or cardboard and so on...one cannot guarantee normal driving conditions at all times, if the driver has to make an evasive move for some reason they don't want the load getting tossed out...

Re: Looking for advice on stunt driving first court appearan

There are many factors the prosecutors consider before agreeing to lower the rate of speed down...an increase in the insurance rates is not one of them...they are well aware of the fact that the insurance premium will increase, exponentially. They will consider, how much over the 50km they were going, time of day, other aggravating factors and most ...

Re: First Speeding Ticket.

If you take the option to fight the ticket, the prosecutor will ask to have the ticket amended back up to the origional speed. If convicted, you will receive 4 points. There are those on this site that will advise you to plead not guilty and request a copy of your disclosure, then post it on this sight, with private info blocked out, so they can ...

Re: Officer said he would cancel ticket..but didn't..Help pl

That is correct: Highway Traffic Act: Regulation 628, Section 6(2) "Evidence of validation for a permit SHALL be affixed to a number plate for the vehicle in accordance with this Regulation, and the portion of the evidence of validation not intended for the number plate MAY be affixed in the appropriate space provided on the permit for the vehicle".

Re: Clear Plate Covers

One big problem with the clear covers is some people put the validation sticker on the plate cover, not physically on the plate itself, as it should be...you certainly can get a ticket for that...If the plate cover is in good shape you should have no problems with it.
