can he just dun admit to it ?

really neeed ur help ... thks

really worry for him....

hope to get some real info on this .....

epImetheus SG

he must have witness to prove that he was not driving dangerously at that time if he does not want to admit it.

by the way, drivers on probation has only got 13 points.

sgboy2004 SG

dun understand wat is not caught on the spot? Care to elaborate further?

Cool Cool

sgboy2004 SG

isn't it vise-versa too tat the police has to prove tat he is driving dangerously??? If not, the police can anyhow claim tat one is driving recklessly mah...

Any video evidence or ???

Mr. Green

i think it is TP did not catch him doing that, but other drivers can also make a police report against him.

1st u gonna tell ur bf dangerous driving is no fun. hes gonna get himself hurt if worst hurt others. Mad 2nd hes a new driver n tats worst. wat if he gets into an accident next time? or worse killed other ppl in an accdent.

sgboy2004 SG

if tat is the case, then the person who reported has to have proof/evidence to substantiate the claim...

let's hear from her, the originator, on the whole story

Mr. Green

sgboy2004 SG

in the first place, did he really drive dangerously??

Nichelle82 SG

he don't have any witness. he driving alone and on his way home.

he know probation cannot deduct more than 12 points in 12 months but what he want to know is it true that during the first 12 months the demerit points can be double of the actual 12 points or is it only 12 points ....

Nichelle82 SG

he was driving in a dangerous way. but he not sure if some police car saw it or someone reported it.

Just that few weeks later he receive the summon to go court for the offence.

it must be the police tat saw him, otherwise police will not take the words of some passer-by tat easily without investigation.

Go to the hearing and see wat is the summon about and wat are the evidences against him lor...then decide wat to do... or then decide to engage a lawyer... check out the penalty with the TP on the day of the summon lor...

In the first place, he did drive dangerously i supposed... well, just see wat the TP says at the day of the hearing... it is probably a time for the TP to issue him the summon in person, and would hav time for your bf to take the necessary action if he decides to appeal against the charges one lah...

Or call up the Investigating Officer and ask wat is the actual situation like first lor

Good luck

Praetorian111 SG

So wat r the charges for? only driving in a dangerous manner?? Is he in anyway speeding? If yes, what was his average speed like....
The fine will be extremely heavy if it is a court case.... Ur Bf will need to ask the I.O abt the whole issue... and the likely charges for dangerous driving..... then decide on what to do.... Appealing sometimes will only make the whole situation worsen.... and double the charges.... Wink
and pls advise him not to do such a thing anymore.... he is still not at all qualified to drive or speed like a pro... Twisted Evil

guardsmen SG

no....
no sure thing as double..
once ur point is - ,den had to say bye to ur license

marlboro SG

Is the summon issued? Does it involve a court appearance?

Dun think there is such thing as P plate double demerit points. If the summon does not involve a court appearance, just a form sent to you asking if u admit/not admit and if u admit fill up the form and they deduct the points etc.. In this case, he can ask maybe his dad who has 24 points to deduct to fill in the form, claiming he was driving at the time..

Not totally legal this method, jus an 'idea' thats widely used.. get into trouble not my biz Mr. Green

BearBear® SG

court case leh....
its the judge decision whether to disqualify him from driving or not.. furthermore he only got his licence 1 month ago and can perform such dangerous acts on the road..... Rolling Eyes
fine can be up to 1k for 1st time offender.
Be prepare to queue up and wait for his turn in court

bmw_lover SG

u can always write letter and tell TP that there was smth wrong with your car, like fault steering wheel or whatever, just cock up a story and they’ll believe it. that’s what i do for all my car park summons. haha. and they always revoke the summon in the end.

quek SG

actually some of the ppl i noe din drive until their probation period is over cos hv more points to play wif Mr. Green but if ur bf really kena the 12 demerit.....tink he can keep the remaining 1 in the fridge liaoz....

bmw_lover SG

yah... these people are ghost drivers... and i deem them as hazards to the road users.... people like my SISTER... got her license 1 year before me, but her driving is no where near my... she can drive drive drive. den i sitting beside her, den parked by the road got this motorbike... den she was heading straight into it, i had to turn her steering wheel right to swerve the car away from the bike, curse curse curse, den she dare to tell me she never see the bike there. i was like omfg. den she also very pin tua to change gear one. jit tao one gear drag drag drag. hear liao also pissed off. worst thing is, she's not a P plate, I AM.
