say you get the letter for jury duty, and say you have a criminal conviction

does this mean you can't do jury duty ?

bah just get outta it...I did! Write up a letter, and get your employer to sign it!

Yeah, I just got my employer to say that I had too much s*** to do at work. Turns out the chicks in HR had a template "Get employees out of Jury Duty" document, they just put in my name and signed it :P

did you guys not read the original post at all?

did you guys not read the original post at all?

no

you must be able to since they sent you a letter and all...

i got a letter for jury duty one week after i turned 18. would have been interesting to go but i had uni.

Your original post was confusing - do you want to do it or not?

lol read between the lines you nobs

pretty sure you won't be able to do it. fken jailbird

depends how long ago the conviction and what type?
apart from my clean skin choir boy appearance i led a rather checkered young adult hood and now at 42 only got my first jury notice this year

i heard the same.

i have a conviction(s) which is different from a criminal record as my understanding goes.

pretty sure you wont be elligible if you are convicted of anything. you can go to court without a conviction and still have a criminal record though.

might be wrong but thats my understanding.


another kinda related question.

open licence ... dui.
do i go on P's for a year or 12 points.?

also if i am on my P's and im over 25 i can still be .05 if rbt'd?

also i thought they would want people with 'EXPERIENCE' with the court system to do jury duty anyways :)

haha exis

pretty sure i've worked it out

do you mean after you get your licence back??
cause if you go DUI you get totally suspended but can get a "work" licence in qld
then after your suspension it's 12 months P

yer thought so. couldnt remember though.

what about part 2 of the question.
over 25 can be .05 unlike usual 0% on Ps

what was ur criminal conviction ?

ive got 2 convictions i think. maybe 3 now not sure about last one

1st was .16 blood alch. 8 months suspension + $800

2nd was driving on suspension(sober) 2 years minimum + $900 + my solicitor

3rd was .06 blood alch. 9 months suspension + $700


driving on suspension i was supposed to go to court to apply for licence back. that would ahve taken a month from the day it was due to get it back. then if the judge decided i couldnt have it back i would have to wait a year before reapplying. i just went down to dept. transport. made light flirty conversation with the chicky at the counter and she read my fiel and said ok lets take a photo and bingo licence back.

recently got done the night after a big night. .06 with my history i got 9 long hard months. only about 155 days to go or so. havent been near my car so far and wont.

you should give up driving

i was a courier it was my living.

i actually never drive (since my first offence) if i dont think ill be ok...legally that is.

s***s me actually i know so many people who get half tanked and drive home never get busted. guess i count myself lucky the handful of times iver never hit anyone. that i see as the bright side.


i couldnt get a work licence on the last offence because i was one month off my last dui offence. spewin.

or drinking

im not giving up drinking now when i have no licence.

i can pour beer on my wheat bix now cause dont haev to consider having to drive.

althoguh the busses and trains suck serious arse.

redcliffe to bowen hills daily. im paying for it.

do you mean after you get your licence back??
