RHR BOOST Moderating Team 5,698 Member For: 21y 14d Gender: Male Location: Southern Highlands NSW Posted 10/08/06 09:41 AM Share Posted 10/08/06 09:41 AM already started complaining.. slymeat is only one person passing on a message, he isnt the government.anyway, I wanted to know something myself.Say an L-plater was caught driving alone in his parent's car. What kind of charges could they face if he/she admitted to taking the car without their parent's consent, and if you have dealt with something along these lines, what would you think the outcome would be?←First of all you can infringe the Driver for driving un accompanied. Now most of our L plate drivers are under the age of 18 so this is where the young offenders(YO) act comes in. With the YO Act depending on their past you can Issue an official warning step 1, you can issue ther driver with an intent to caution (Youth Liasion officer does this)step 2 and you can issued a conference between the driver and a person from juvinle justice step 3. Now if the driver is not of a good character you can charge him.If the driver is an adult depending on what his father wanted done you could charge him for steeling the vehicle and driving un accompanied.I actually have a matter very similar to this one at the moment where a 17 year old is involved. At this stage I have infringed the driver and I am waiting to her from his father if he wishes to go a head with steeling the vehicle.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is crazy how missinformation can make people think they know the law.I have a couple of questions:What would you do if you pulled a car over you suspected of using a Radar detector, but could not visably see ?Can you search the car ?What happens if you cannot find one ?How many radar detector detectors are there in NSW HWP vehicles ?Keep up the fine workAnswer posted in the answers thread.

Little bugger took my key and went out to the gararge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 21y 6m 4d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 10/08/06 10:40 AM Share Posted 10/08/06 10:40 AM Sly, I see you're a NSW officer so you'd have good knowledge of this. Pertains to Jetonit's question.A 22 Y/O Learner Drive (late starter, hasn't lost licence before) is caught driving a car from the inspection station to his house with no supervising driver.Was charged with 'Unregistered Car', 'Uninsured Car' and 'Unlicensed Driver'. However, he DIDN'T loose he L's? $1600 odd in fines but no loss of licence.He rang once (and only once) to verify he still had his L's but doesn't want to rock the boat. He will be booking for his P Plates soon but Im wondering if this will rear its head at all?Lumpy Answer posted in the answers thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the coppers get a bashing once in a while on this forum, but I think you'll find (if you haven't already) that most sensible members at least partially appreciate the difficulties of your job and commend you for it. I'm a public servant and cop enough grief for that, for goodness' sake!! And nice story about your two year old too, the little rats sure keep you on your toes, don't they?! I'm just relishing the first quiet night I've had in as long as I can remember... (please God, let them stay asleep) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has not yet paid the fine he will not yet be suspended, unless 6 months have passed...←Ahhhh, I think we have the crux of the situation right there I think he took the 'small payment over long time option' so they mightn't take issue until the fine is completed? Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about such things as language, spitting at you, throwing items from their car for the purpose of damaging your car, speeding past you then getting in front of you and pulling the hand brake?
