I am on my red p's. I was done for speeding (85 in a 70) a month back, which put 4 points against my name. My suspension commences on the 3rd July.
Last night at 10:40pm (definitely not thinking about the consequences, like an idiot.) I did a burnout. I left the area shortly afterwards and was pulled over by a dog squad who allegedly received reports from a nearby resident that my car had in fact been doing them. The cop asks a few questions about what I had been doing, I was giving vague answers whilst not being a smartarse, and was trying to keep my cool. A highway patrol car rocks up 2-3 mins later and they take over from the dog squad. I decided I should come clean as there was no point in lying due to the fact they knew the go. I owned up to doing the burnout, and the cop went to talk to his senior colleague in his car.
Few minutes later they approach and say I have two options;
1) 3 month impoundment of my car. Pay $13 a day for the 3 months, with an $800 towing fee. Go to court pay 3k in costs and be suspended for two years
2) Give me a ticket for neg driving, and defect the hell out of my car.
Obviously I chose the second option, to which I received a red sticker with major grounding, and 4 fines (one of which was negligent driving). I won't go into it all because that's not the point.
I asked the officer how long I would be suspended for as well as how many points I'd receive, bearing in mind I've already been done for speeding. He said I got 3 points, and that I have no extra time on top of my suspension. In other words I do the 3 months for speeding, and then when I am back on the road I have 1 point left on my license.
My mate in the car mentioned to me it was double demerits [when the cop was in his car] but the cop didn't mention anything about it and I didn't bring it up with him as my mind was elsewhere and taking in what was going on. I really will end my life if my license if gone for more than 3 months. Please can someone help me clear this up? What's the go?
*Prepares flame suit*
I know what I did was absolutely stupid. please do not tell me again
