Well its still under investigation 5 months later, but basically, it was 84 in a 60 zone (4 points and $250), a month before rally Q at a time when i had to spend every dollar on rebuilding the new rally car, so simply to have it delayed was my main goal...
BUT, having not got a speeding fine in 2 years, i then got one the following week for 1 point... Now still being a P plater i would have either lost my licence or gone on a good behaviour bond, which doesn't look good on my application to become an accredited driver trainer in 12 months, so if i can delay having to pay it till after Sep 10, when i get my opens, i should be sweet...
The fact that the officer couldn't even get the suburb right left the door pretty open to have an attack, then it just kinda flowed from there!
For those interested its gonna cost me about $3200 bucks to get the required qualification even just to apply, with no guarantee they'll pass it... Hopefully completing the AAMI Skilled Drivers Course and The WRX Experience within a week of getting my P plates shows i'm serious about driver training, and having a state rallying title and genuine motorsport experience should help my application...
Basically you need a Cert. IV in Training and Assesment, which i'm doing through tafe atm, then you need to go up grade that to a Cert. IV in Driving Instruction, which some of the larger driving school can offer... Oh, and you need to have held your opens for 12 months... so i can't apply till i'm 21yrs and 3 days!!!
Pre-license stuff would be crap i reckon, so my plan is to grow a single car driving school business around the 'GSL RallySport' branding, then sell it and move onto advanced driver training, in either my own business or someone elses... meh, we'll see how it goes!
