OUCH 201$ =[

write a letter

http://www.sdro.nsw.gov.au/

details are on there. Tell them that they were stolen earlier that night and that they were your last pair etc and the might let you go

Yeah you should definitely write a letter. If you have a clean record I reckon there's a quite high chance you will be let off.

My mates mum was fined for going 7km/h over the limit in her husbands car. She wrote a letter explaining that she hadn't driven a manual for 10 or so years and that she was not use to the gear changes etc etc and she was let off...

lol.

Yeh i was going to write a letter but i wasnt too sure how to go about it thanks Brad. Hopefully i get let off ive never had another fine before ... well for driving... i have a fine for not having a ticket on the train cause i lost it on the platform lolz. But apart from that i have a clean record. so hopefully ill get let off.

Damn i was just reading on the website
I cant have a probationary license and i have to have been driving for atleast 10 years to be given leniancy.. owell guess im paying 200$ and 2 demerits.. owell sh*t happens.

i got let off from mine

however i had 1 p plate on, and the other one had fallen off whilst i had been driving

Hahah for the record I used to work for sdro and I highly doubt they will let u off any one can make up a excuse weither its true or not but it may be worth a shot if you word it right stating they were stolen and there was no rta and you were driving to the servo to pick up some temp ones befor you could pick some up the next day at the rta or shop

And yea I was fined for no p plates in a security car with only the front 2 seats so no way to have more then 1 person and no street over about 80 in 20kms so stupid im classed as a pro driver but still have to use p plates

Well i used my last spares to get to the fiddler and i didnt finish work till 7 so the RTA was closed... and i was planning to go to the RTA the next day (today) to get more..

which i did do today and i got 11010230192301203901 of them ... lol the guy handed me a massive stack lol

Sorry to say.. But that excuse has been used by many a P Plater, and has been an outright fabrication of the truth.. Now, I am not saying you are telling a lie, but think of how many people will not believe this..

Your obligation is to make sure you have adequate P plates in your car. There are even the ones that stick in your windows that you can buy from a servo.. I am sure you passed one of those before you got booked.. Cop it sweet and move on..

I got pulled over not having one on the back, but I said it fell off (which it did) and got let off. I think that's just about the only circumstance where you wouldn't be fined for not presenting plates. Also rock_it...your avatar is SO distracting

It all depends on the cop I've been let off 140 no p plates but I've also been done no p plates in work car so its just the luck of the draw

As for sick on ones depending on the cop he prob would have fined u for them to as there not displayed on the out side of the car

Fark me $210 is pretty steep. sh*t I can take my rego plates off completely and only get fined $60, lol

Possibly because in NSW its a bit harsher on P platers... or apparently im endangering lives when i dont have P plates on... Or just plain old revenue raising..

Combination of revenue raising & knee jerk reaction (nanny state) - aka there was one fuckwit that ruined everything for every P plater.

Having said that... that one fuckwit comes from an esteemed group of tossers. Keep seeing P platers in bogandores wedged in shop fronts the last few days in the news...

nope that was a stolen car they ran into the shop with ahha ( dont know y you would steal a holden though )
