Like three grand and its not worth that!! It just pissed me off because the cop was really rude, i walked down there to talk to him and the bailiff, and the cop says to me "your not going to be any trouble are you, i can leave you to talk to the bailiff??" like i was going to cause trouble with my 12 week old daughter.. god he was a jerk ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

How the heck did you get $3k in fines?!  Surely it *could* be worth selling your baby (not Kylah!! The other car) to pay the fines off to pay them so they stop hounding you?

What on earth were you doing with your car to rack up $25K of fines?
I'm intrigued....I've only ever got one ticket and then I went to the council and got it overturned, but it was only like $60 so you would of had to have parked illegally 416 times. -------------

Parking tickets are my downfall but I dont think even I could rack up that much. Tell us your secret Kandice!!!! |

biggest fines might be for warrant, rego, speeding, drunk driving... However, I'm thinking that if you got 25k of speeding fines, you would have no liscence?!... I'm intrigued now as well... ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Na no speeding fines, no parking fines and no drunk driving!
It was mainly for learner licence carrying passengers over and over again, untill eventually the summoned me to court, also no reg, no wof, bald tyre, loud exhaust, ran an orange light, driving a green/pink stickered vehicle, removing green/pink sticker, no seatbelt.. No wof and reg is $200 each Learner licence carrying passengers is $400 a pop Bald tyre $150 Loud exhaust can range $150 - $300 orange light $150 driving a green/pink stickered car $600 if you removed the sticker then drove it $1200 for getting it stickered in the first place $400 No seatlbelt $150.. It the end i volunteered to go before a judge, she sentanced me too 400 hours community work for half my fines so $12k, made me sit my restricted, and i had to re-appear before a judge in 6 months to make sure i was doing my community work and had my licence.. i got a night job from 4.30pm till 3am and done community work 6 days a week from 9am till 3pm mon to fri and 9am till 12pm saturday, i also worked fulltime from 4.30pm till 3am 5 days a week and 8am till 5pm on sundays, got rid of my 400 hours in just over 3 months, when i re-appeared in court they told me it was a record and they had never seen someone do it that fast (after they told me i was telln a porky - his exact words, and he had to check) they wiped the whole $25k.. i did only have $1500 but they put $1886.35 enforcement fee for impounding my car!! Hence the now $3k.. Story of my life.. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

| Aww man that sucks. But you did a good job getting rid of all your fines so fast. Ben had 10k and I thought that was a lot. |
