It happened last friday.....	Tue, 04 March 2003 11:17

EDIT: Will be spending the next three months in Tas furthering my diving skills (commercial) hoping to get a new job. Appeal on the 4th, I leave on 30th, DPP r's wipes won't adjourn until I get back so more solictors fees. Anyone in Tas around Launceston, more specifically Beauty Point (apparently 55k's west) give me a call 0414 369 885 if you are free on w/ends as I won't have a car or any other excitement it would seem (the town doesn't even have an ATM). I still don't know if I can get a dial up connection (i'm going to miss cable) ---------------------------------------- The short story. 12 month disqulification, $600- fine and conviction recorded. The long sttory. Nov 2001 hit pedestrian in dead end street, he was drunk (0.157) and walking his kids home from school. Passed him first time and he was agressive (yelling, gesturing etc) turned around at end of street (no one home) and returned. Again he's yelling and gesturing etc and while I'm as far to the left as I can be he steps out in front of the car. This he admits to in his statement, Police say I wasn't speeding, he suffers broken leg, cuts and grazes. Me ok, read zero on blood test (his reading is taken 8 hrs after accident). July 2002 receive summons, by Nov 2002 and 6 appearance later prosecution finally has paperwork together. Feb 28th, appear to plead guilty on advice (I hit him, he's injured, Neg driving occ Grevious Bodily Harm). Magistrate refuses to take into account his actions and condition and statement. Also will not acknowledge that if she records a conviction I WILL loose my job (security work) but is considering it anyway. BUT only after she hears the opinion of the victim and police as to what sort of penalty they think I should receive (just for the record, it won't sway her opinion, HA) So after saying she's considering 3mth suspension, $1000- fine and no conviction, victim and cops say not good enough, she says 12mth, $600- and criminal record. So no job, house is for sale and he's suing for $400,000- damages. Which he can only now get because I was convicted. As the prosecutor said on leaving "You'd be better off if you'd rolled back over him and killed him, you'd be slapped on the wrist for his actions leading to his own demise" What's the morale to all this? if you know please tell me. Not bad for a first offense. Justin [Updated on: Sat, 29 March 2003 13:10] [Report message to a moderator]
