I removed the number plates, sanded the whole car and started to spray. I ran out of the spray and decided to go to K Mart for more bottles of spray (without the number plates, stupid, hey)!! On my way back home, I stopped at the last traffic lights and in my back view mirror, I noticed some 'cool' gentlemen in a spotted white falcon with blue and red/amber lights on the top carriage of their car. When the traffic lights turned green, I drove towards home. It didn't take long before noticing that the falcon behind me was up to something. They turned on their fancy lights and a whiff of a familar siren. I pulled over. Then the guys stopped behind my car and started talkng on their walkie talkies. It was then that I realised I had commited my first and worst (so far) traffic offence, i.e. driving a car without number plates, rego sticker, 'no nothing'. They guys wouldn't buy my explanation of do it myself job. They gave me an on spot hefty fine and escorted me home. The fine was itemised as: no number plates $$$, no license sticker $$$, on a main road $$$ and for an undisclosed item (probably ethnic background) $$$. The total was $,$$$ to be paid within a certain time limit or if I contested, the court etc etc. It spoilt my planned overseas holiday as I had to settle the $,$$$ on the coming Monday. I actually scrapped the car a later on. At the time, I was in my last stages of getting PR approval. After paying the fine, I went to the visa office and explained all the above. I really thought it would affect my visa application process. But thank God, the officer just smiled at me and said "as long as you paid the fine, all should be OK". My PR came weeks later!!! So, being sincere helps a great deal!!! N'Gokit |
