Hi everyone

Had an interesting conversation today with the guy at Dept Planning & Infrastructure that takes your licenses off you (he actually remembered me which is quite scary since he has 80 - 150 case files a week)

He was telling me at parliament at the moment is sitting a new proposal in regards to the way you lose your license. Basically the new changes are if you lose your 12 demerit points then you are given a one year good behaviour period in which you are still able to drive but if you lose one or more points in this period then your license is suspended for 6 months. THey will be abolishing extrodinary licenses if this comes into play too.

do you get the option of

"once you hit 12 points you lose it for 3 months"

and "1 year good behavior or 6 months" ?

is is it strictly good behavior or 6 months loss?

because really if you have clocked up 12 points, chances are you wont be able to go 12 months with no points.

I am living proof of that, I lost mine on Easter long weekend 2004 for 3 months and haven't lost any since.

I think it should be compulsary for everyone to lose their licence early so they learn how important it is to have.

P.S. I lost mine for speeding and now I tut at people who speed when its not necessary :P, especially doing 80k's in a 70k zone, I hate the fact that 70 is too slow in those areas, but I swear EVERYONE around me overtakes me doing 80 <_<

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
