Burgey

haha oh boy that thread

Haha shut up you monkey

Good luck tomorrow, mate. When you think your Party is going to win, it's just a great night tonight, with the anticipation of tomorrow.

Then tomorrow is just electric at the polling booths, and the nervous feeling as those first booths come in at 6:45pm or so.

btw, how did your similar situation pan out? did you write a letter/go to court or just cop it sweet? and was it 8 points for using your phone?

thanks burge, i'll follow your advice. i'll work on a letter this week and will shoot the draft through to you to look over. very kind of you btw. after that gets rejected i suppose we can worry about the next step. thanks again

hey mate, all good.

so i'm a support worker, i drive around disabled people to appointments/shopping/etc. Stupidly on Thursday I was caught fiddling with google maps on my phone at a red light by a motorbike cop, pulled over and whacked with a 10 demerit point hit because its 5 points for phones now and double demerits. I normally have a phone holder like cabbies but it broke a few days earlier and yeah

Other than a 2 point speeding fine in Jan my current record was clean but 10 points is a massive hit, now I have 1 point left to last nearly 3 years. it's gonna be tough as I drive all day for work, I know I'll make a mistake somewhere and likely lose my job.
My question is do you think I could successfully appeal the double demerits part of this incident? 6 points left would be a helluva lot more handy than 1. Is there a lot of subjectivity involved with this? I objectively ****ed up with the phone, but do you think a judge could look favorably on me in the circumstances?

Hey mate, can I ask you a quick legal question. Sorry to bother you but I just got majorly ****ed by double demerits yesterday

Would never think otherwise, Burg

Taking a break from the forum until the WC. Nothing to do with you, of course.

Doing my bit for #bertmentum: twitter.com/cricket_gc/status/1108101087066755073

Yeah it feels like it, but it's very early doors.

Aye mate it's working on all devices, tried a few.

There’s a few haha. Let me know if you’re ever around. I’d love to buy you a beer and a real steak.

Doing well overall. Happy to see you doing so well. When are you ever coming to the mainland?

What’s going on buddy?

Lol.. the funny thing is your whinging about others' whinging is the only constant here at CW.

Cheers

Cheers mate

It just boils the blood, that I go to a doctor after an accident in which the other party had admitted full liability for but apparantly i have to pay for the doctor.

Its not even a huge amount, but its just not my fault

All good mate, just wanted to some advice

Basically, I got a message from the Doctor (private clinic) saying that CPT insurance won't cover my fees and that I have to pay it myself

Surely thats rubbish? I even got a free motorbike while Im waiting for my insurance pay out (Bike was written off)

As in CTP wont cover this fee

Hey Burgos

I went to a doctor on Monday to have my leg checked out and gave them my insurance claim number for the person that hit me

I've just got a message from the Doctor saying that they will not pay this fee and that I have to pay it myself

That's bull**** right?
