Elwood.. Fun...

[santoitaliano]

hey all..

tonight me and a few mates headed down to the beach in a nissan 4x4... fun fun fun...

turn into elwood beach car park.. gate is closed, so proceeded through no entry sign *dumb*..

up ahead about 5 cars all stopped and TOG vehicle....

comes up to my window, writes down name and licence number, tells me ill be getting 3 infringements in the mail...

1. Turning right outside of specified times
2. Entering through the no entry sign
3. Driving on the wrong side of the road

sound right? i didnt give him any attitude or anything...

anyone know how many points i will loose?

i've got the full 5 at the moment, but it would be such a ***** of a way to loose a licence...

cross my fingers i guess..

i suppose they were really out saving lives tonight!

and then to top it off he says "now was it worth coming down to the beach tonight?"

Any thoughts or opinions?

Lol, way to go Santo! Lose your license in style.... not.

My brother's waiting for a fine for running a red light a week ago, oh wait he got that! $225 and 3 points within 2 months of getting P's.

They actually do send them out if the offence is severe enough.
