Ok this is kinda stupid but firstly, why the hell is driving while suspended considered a criminal offence? Now let's come to my situation where I didn't even know I was suspended from driving because I had no information from Vicroads about that. I got to know this only when cops pulled me over and told me that my licence was suspended. The reason was too many demerit points for speeding and not obeying traffic lights. This was because I was still getting used to driving in Victoria. I had never driven in this country before and didn't care to take any training, rather just tried to learn the rules myself while driving.
OK so the cops told me that I will get a letter and I will be told to face a magistrate and get this matter sorted. It's been more than 2 months that he told me this but I haven't got any letter from court.
My question is that
1. How long does it take for the letter to arrive?
2. If the judge suspends my licence any further, would this time be considered for the same because I've been without permission to drive for so long now and if he gives me more suspension then it wouldn't be fair because I've already been suspended for so long? And if he still gives me more suspension time, can I argue that what about the time it took for the court to send me the [moderated] letter? Isn't that punishment enough?
I lost my job, it's so hard on me because I have to pay my bills, my house rent and stuff. I just don't know what to do now because I paid for so many fines on time and even after paying the fines, they suspended me from driving. If this was gonna happen anyway, then why the [moderated] did they collect money from me for the fines and now left me without my job.
I'm so [moderated] angry. Is there a way I can sue these [moderated] because they are the ones because of whom I lost so much money in fines for not even speeding so much but just 2-3 km/h over the limit. I paid all those fines on time but still they gave me demerit points which ultimately resulted in me losing my licence. Now they're taking so long to send me the letter for hearing. After the hearing the judge might give me more suspension and might even ask for another fine. This is all so [moderated] up. What kind of system is this? Hitting somebody so hard that the person can't even get up again all for what? Some [moderated] speeding fines which couldn't even considered speeding.
Leaving the person without a job and this all resulted in so much tension for me that I failed 2 of my subjects at the uni for which I had to pay so much money and my degree would now take 6 more months to complete. In these 6 months, I would also have to pay for more bills and rent. This is not fair. [moderated] these stupid rules and the [moderated] who make them. These [moderated] can't go unpunished.
Would anybody of you please suggest me what to do now and to contact the [moderated] judge to give me a [moderated] hearing date ASAP. I'm dying here without any money to even eat properly.
