gonzood Newcomer Location: nsw australia Registered: January 2005	Ticket for "not displaying p-plates" - help me keep my licence! Thu, 13 January 2005 10:16 Hey guys I just found this forum and was hoping you might be able to help me out with some advice or discussion. The story is... I'm a p-plater and I got pulled over for speeding a few days ago. I was doing 113km (in a 100km zone) but since I was on my red p's this was 23km over the 90km limit. I have no problem with this though, I was doing the wrong thing and deserved to get the ticket. What I am not happy about though, is that the cop decided to also give me a ticket for "not complying with p1 licence - not displaying p plates". I have a p-plate displayed on the front of the car, corner stuck behind the number plate. No problem. On the back of the car I cannot do this due to the shape of the number plate area. So I have the plate displayed on the rear window, on the inside, held up to the glass by the brake light. There is no way you could look at the back of the car and NOT see it. Yet this cop told me I am not displaying p-plates. The speeding ticket carries 3 demerits. Like I said, I don't have a problem with this. But not displaying p-plates is 2 demerits. Obviously this will put me over the 4 point maximum for a p1 licence, and thus my licence would be suspended for 3 months. There is no way I am going to stand by and have my licence taken over this absolute rubbish "offence", so I am looking for any advice anyone can give me. Should I go to court and fight it? Write to the infringement bureau and hope they can waive the ticket? I thought I would be clever and quickly get my green p's (more demerits) as I have been eligible for a while. In fact I went to the RTA and passed the test the next day. However after doing some reading I know this won't work as the points are back-dated to the date of the offence [Report message to a moderator]
