13 years of driving....

defects: - 0
speeding fines: - 6 (should be 7 but I lost them down a side street...in a Laser...amazing but true)
parking fines: - No idea....a few
accidents involving other cars: - 1 my car, my fault. About 3 in the workshop when I was a mechanic inlcuding the bosses car (read 'Garage Mistakes' thread)
stacks in wet: 0 - I drive to the conditions, not use the opportunity to practice my drifting skills ....plus I had to many close calls drifing in the wet ;-)


My brother-in-law "The Drift King" tally is much more interesting reading.

3 years of driving....well actually just over 2 really.

defects: - about 8 (that I know of...No P's, obscured plates, bald tyres, defective lights, busted windscreen, illegal tyres)
speeding fines: - more than 4
parking fines: - none interestingly
accidents involving other cars: - 1 - pranged his dads beloved Mazda but not his own...ironic really
stacks in wet: 0 amazingly...not for lack of trying but his drift skills seem to been the only driving skill he has improved on.
Loss of license - Twice
Pulled over - lost count, on first name basis with Frankston TOG. They drive past his house at the start of a shift to see if he's home...
Diffs - 3 (that I know of)
Transmissions - 2 or 3 (one was his dads beloved Mazda again - broke the pump gear amazingly)
Tyres - lost count.......
Driving whilst disqualified - busted twice
Driving vehicle with stolen plates - twice (once was his car, once someone elses)
Driving defected vehicle - at least once
Petrol drive offs - heaps! - arrested, charged and convicted
Court cases pending from some of this stuff......and hey I'll give you one guess what car he drives!

Its ok - he doesn't drive any more and the judge is about to ensure he doesn't drive for some time to come....HE is the reason that the Police have hoon laws...
