Driving Without Licence
-
Just heard from my friend, that his future brother-in-law has just bought a SUV, and has collected the car. Problem is, he has no license. Insurance and car registered under his wife's name, but he'll be driving most of the time. In fact, he was the one who drove the car back home from the dealer!
That prompted me to think, under what circumstances will he be caught? If he's caught, will his car be confiscated?
My friend is pretty worried, because since he is marrying his gf, he might be affected if they need him to help pay for the fine, and this BIL of his is pretty much of a loafter. -
if he dares, go confront them. and make it clear he'll not be prepared to carry this risk with them.
and it's, quite a Big risk.
under what circumstances can he be caught? road block, accident, etc. yes i think the car can be confiscated. and the registered owner of the car is liable for criminal charges too. -
void

brother-in-law? I suppose he is marrying your friednd's sister(not your gf??). It is a very serious offence for his sister to lend the car to her husband when she knew he had no license. Ask him to get a license first. I think it can be either a very heavy fine, or even jail for your sister.

agreed cos the owner knows that the other party doed nt have a license but still allwed him/her to drive....Originally posted by Theatre Of Dreams:

Well, for all I know, if one drive during normal hours, no speeding, he/she will probably never get caught. UNLESS, he's involved in an accident, be it whether or not it's his fault. Except for the other party, only one word :" Suay" cos cannot claim insurance. -
ask that guy to go get a license and dont drag the family down...Originally posted by coolbluewater:Just heard from my friend, that his future brother-in-law has just bought a SUV, and has collected the car.

it's also double charge leh...
driving without license... since driving without license voids the insurance... court will rule driving without insurance also.
My friend kena double charge, 15 months driving ban and $1000 fine. But he is not as serious because he is using foreign license, so not as bad as totally no license before.
ANyway, this sort of thing don't play lah. Driving without license is a CRIMINAL offence. Not just pay fine already can forget about it. -
if he is caught and another person inside the car together with him has a valid drivers licence, that person will kena big time also.
as for him, he can forget about driving for the next couple of years...
wtf... got money to marry, money to buy car... but no money to take a freaking licence??!! -
It's probably lazy, as it's pretty troublesome to have a license, like studying for basic theory, advance theory, looking for an instructor for to learn to drive, arranging for driving test etc etc.. If you dun do it early, it'll be difficult when all the commitment comes in (ie. family, children, business).Originally posted by thingy:if he is caught and another person inside the car together with him has a valid drivers licence, that person will kena big time also.

Maybe so. But for someone with such an attitude and with such a blatant disregard for the law, it is very likely that he will run afoul of some other traffic regulation and be caught sooner or later. I certainly hope he does get caught; don't need his kind on the roads. Although my heart goes out to his wife ...Originally posted by coolbluewater:Well, for all I know, if one drive during normal hours, no speeding, he/she will probably never get caught.

it pretty much of a family affair to me. a confrontational approach may only work if ur fren is asked to speak 2 the bro in law on behalf of the family.Originally posted by coolbluewater:Just heard from my friend, that his future brother-in-law has just bought a SUV, and has collected the car.

else, wad makes him liable to help the bro in law in the event he kena caught? besides, i dun think driving w/o license is a compoundable offence. IMO, if theres anyone to blame, it should be ur fren's future sis in law for allowing the bro in law to commit such acts with her blessings, and any consequences should be theirs to bear if they choose to do nothing about it. -
He'll be in trouble when he gets involved in an accident or when he gets pulled over by TP for some offence or when someone reports him.
And it's not always only about him.
Think about the others on the road please, if you don't have a valid license, please don't drive. Don't risk the safety of the other motorists for your own selfish act. -
today was my 3rd and 4th practicals..
the 3rd practical, the instructor let me drive on the road.. quite good lah. drove all the way to Tampines frm CDC. i clocked abt 60km/h along Tamp Ave 10.
4th practical, circuit only. my moving off sucks. i stall a lot one. when changing frm 1 to 2, 2 to 3.. i no problem. only moving off den i got problem.. how? 2 practicals, $117.60 later, i only got 2 chops.
tmr got another practical, i scared of stalling. -
u stall becoz u did not hold ur clutch~ Ur footwork is not good, that's why. U hav to get use to half-clutch control. Dun worry, u juz started slowly u can do it well de. But remember, dun speed. Speed does not = good techniques.Originally posted by sinicker:today was my 3rd and 4th practicals..

Speed = fast, also = ppl die faster. Speeding = lesser chance to react = cannot avoid accident. Car is a transport, but is also a killing machine if u dun use it well. Yah i know its great to speed, but always remember the concequences. Meet in accident... u die nvm, u knock down ppl, ppl die or cripple, u'll feel bad ur whole life. Dunno anything juz ask in Car, ppl here will help u de -
