Quick Question? How Many Points Do You Lose For Dangerous Driving?

[ChrisGTR]

As title says, how many points do you lose if charged with dangerous driving when your on your full licence? The sum of the fine would be good too.
Cheers

7 and $800 for 1st offence i believe

[TJ]

Were you being overly hectic again ?

[RICEY]

The GTR bolted through the open gate apparently.

[Torquen]

What does 'dangerous driving' constitute?? As in what have you got to be doing to get charged with it?

[TJ]

Driving dangerously?

[ChrisGTR]

Was going to fight my reckless charge in court on Monday. Got 10 points on my licence left, got done last night 36k over which means 5 points lost and remaining on my current licence.
Probably go pay the fine now and just plead guilty tommorow in court.

[TJ]

Haha why - they will never know about it until you pay it, so go to court and done mention it.

[stormtrooper]

Chris...... what've ya done mate! >.<

[ChrisGTR]

Haha why - they will never know about it until you pay it, so go to court and done mention it.

Very true mate but it would have only been worth fighting if I could keep my licence. Now with this fine I will still lose it for 3 months even if I win in court.

[mr_mike]

fight it, win in court keep ur lic, pay fine for speeding, loose lic apply for double on nothin and keep ur lic.

See just how great WA's traffic laws are!!

[ChrisGTR]

A bit of a twist. After talking to a couple of people in the know, apparently the officers were supposed to show me the reading on the handheld. I requested to see it atleast 3 times and I never once admitted to doing the alledged speed. First time, asked the first officer he told me that the speed on the gun had been erased. Second time I asked the second officer, he said it was up to him whether or not to show me. Third time got the same answer again.
I'll be pleading not guilty anyhow Monday and finding out more info on the laser side of things. If I am right, then I'll be fighting that too.
Fingers crossed.

[RICEY]

Fairly sure they dont have to show you.

Their word against yours.

[mr_mike]

yeh they dont have to show ur fuck all, has to be one of the biggest speeding urban myths goin around.

[31-EVO]

I must have always been lucky then. I was under the 'assumption' that if asked they were obligated to show you ?

[Fukushima]

they've always showed me

where did you get done?

[ChrisGTR]

Cook Avenue in Hillarys. 100m down from Marmion Avenue going down hill. Police Hilux just sitting at the intersection of a backstreet.
Hmmm will find out for certain shortly hopefully.

[Macca]

No they don't have to show you at all. Don't know what your friends in the "know" were telling you

More to the point do you agree that you were speeding? How close to the "alledged" speed were you actually travelling?

[ChrisGTR]

Not real sure on exact speed, I gave it a quick squirt once I took the turn and then started slowing, definetly was speeding but had slowed to the speed limit decelerating at a normal speed about 20-30 meters before passing the police vehicle.

[Macca]

So basically they would have started clocking you as soon as they heard the "squirt". Don't like your chances

[ChrisGTR]

Yeah thanks mate.
Do they still offer the second chance deal after you lose your points for the second time even though you didn't accept to do it first time around?
