About 2 weeks ago I got pulled over by the police at around 4am. I was going to my friend's house to drop him after we finished work. They did a breath test and the results were negative. Then they asked for my drivers licence and told me that my drivers licence had been suspended and I can't drive anymore. My friend had to drive the car then. I didn't even know what licence suspension was and this is what I told them. They said that you must have received a mail from VicRoads informing you about your licence suspension, which I never received or maybe I did, I don't know.
The thing is that I'm an international student and I live in a student apartment, so what happens all the time is that people sneak into other people's mails and read them, then throw them away. I've caught some people doing that to other people. I didn't tell this to the cops but I kept telling them that I haven't received any mail regarding this matter, which was true.
Then the guy took some information from me and told me that he would give me a call in a day or two to let me know what happens now. He also told me that he would be checking with VicRoads to see if all this was a mistake. I checked on the internet later and saw that driving while your licence is suspended is a criminal offence and the magistrate could fine me $4200, or he could cancel my licence for some time or he could also give me jail time of 4 months. Since then I haven't slept properly.
My studies are also suffering and I can't even make any money because my car was my only source of income as I used to deliver food on it. It's been two weeks now and neither have I received any call from that cop, nor have I got any mail from Vic Roads or the magistrate's court. What should I do now?
