i lost my license approx 4.5 months ago . speeding over 45 k . 143 in a 60 zone . i have close to a month and a half till i get my license back . i was just talking to some one who said the following to me . i had 4 points at the time

a friend lost his license 18 months ago for speeding 45 and over . lost it for 6 months , he also said when he got i back , after a month he recieved a letter in the mail saying he will be susspended for a further 3 months . because of the points he had at the time.he had 5 points at the time

i also called the RTA up when i lost my license to ask some Q and A's , about 4 months ago . and asked my point situation . they told me when i get my license back i will be on no points for the rest of my green P's . and if i got caught doing anything wrong , i will be of straight away for 3 months . and this will keep proceeding until i get my points back when i get the black license..

is this true = or am i faced with another 3 months? i know this was a year and a half ago , but could this happen to me - can some one shed some light on me with this ? i will be calling the RTA tomorrow , but im anxious to know if anyone has a responce .

thanks

ill be damn pissed if i get another 3 months ... thats the biggest BS , why do they give it back for a month ? then take it back for a further 3?

whats the point of that , i do hope these are old rules . .....

well a similar situation happend to me.

i broke a good behavior bond by neg driving. almost 2 years later they finaly got there paperwork corect and didnt double up ofences. but in the time inbetween my suspension they had lost the record of me being on a good behavior. so they wanted me to loose it for 4 months. but they had duplicated the neg driving. so if it wasnt doubled it would be only 3 months. i percisted and they eventually got it rite.

so i had to sit out 6 months. but apon getting it back i recieved another letter saying il loose it f 4 months. idiots. but aparntly the points dont acumulate once you have gone past 0. they get taken from your new one.

so wel have to see dude. they are idiots and you might get lucky. but i wouldnt hold my breath. besides tits there fault or a technicality taking points away that yuo never had. and the ofence caries a instant loss or licence not points related. so i think you will have an issue. my advise is to go in a nd demant in writing your exact situation.

Edit: Ok so its 6 points for 45 and over.. and I had 1 point left before I lost my license. So.. I'll what.. Get it back? Then receive some other letter saying it's gone again for another 3 months? Why the hell dont they just take it for 9 months then because Red P platers only hold 4 points..

Unless... They do give me my license back before issuing the next suspension and in that time I get my green P's thus, putting my license up to 7 points. So the 5 points that would be carried over minus the 7 from gfeen p's leaves me with 2 points.. :)

i lost 3 points on red . so i had 1 left . i got the 4 points for greens . . . 5 points when i lost it then . so they take another 3 months for the 1 point i was short of? . i damn hope this shit aint true ,

been excited to get the license back , now i gotta deal with thi shit... f**k

It depends. Once you reach 0 points does it remain that way if you are on the same license again? E.g If you lost all points on your red P's, (4) then got your license back, would you be at 0 points or 4? Is the only way to get points back:

A) Upgrade your license

B) wait for the 36 months of demerit points applying to a license to lapse

If so.. Then I guess yes, when you and I get our licenses back, We'll be doing another 3 months. Because I'll be on -2 even after getting the +4 points from green p's and you'll be on -1 ... That's f**king stupid..

It really worries me that there are still idiots getting around who will do 45 over a speed limit without even thinking about the consequences.

Especially with all kinds of increased police presence in all areas of Australia and the awareness of what performance vehicles like Skylines can do.

Wake up to yourselves and hopefully this long without a licence and the following 3 months ban that you will get will teach you all some respect for the road and the rules that keep us all safe.

Well said.. :santa:

Has most of the info you need.

FYI You accumulate points not get them taken off..

#Provisional P2 licence - When you points reach 7 points suspension occurs

#Provisional P1 licence - When you points reach 4 points suspension occurs

Going 45+ = Automatic 6 months suspension and 6 points

Meh 3 extra months..pfft nothing...

A long lesson indeed... :santa:

this is what happened to me.

i lost 4pts in 2004 (double demerits) for neg driving.

in 2006 (in the space of JUST over a month), i lost 3pts for speeding, then another 3pts for speeding, then 8pts (double demerit) for doing 30 over, then 3pts for speeding.

at the 8pt fine, i'm well over the 12 demerit points (18pts). a month after my 8pt fine, i had paid for 2 fines first - 4pts(this was paid ages ago), 3pts, 8pts - total of 15 demerit points then I paid the remaining 2 a couple days later. I then recieved the letter from the RTA saying i had a total of 15 demerit points (even tho by this time ALL fines were paid for). This means they only counted the fines that i paid for first which pushed me over 12 demerits points not the ones that came after.

so after 6 months, i got my license back, and i have 6 demerit points.

To the person that asked about getting busted 45 over with 1pt remaining on ur license - from my experience, u won't get the extra points added on to ur license when u get it back if it's just one fine.

I didn't think neg driving was a double demerits offence (seatbelts and speeding only?)

Also had a friend that lost enough points speeding to lose his licence then when he got it back lost it again due to the fact he lost more points then he had. So i guess your in for another 3 months.

Mean while off topic what would drifting be classed as, Neg driving or reckless driving. . or not having proper control of vehicle?

well, i got 4pts cos of it and the cop at the time said it was 2pts.. so i dunno :S

well, i had 3pts left over out of the 15pts i lost my license for, but those 3pts didn't get carried over.

drifting could be either those 2 or dangerous driving.. same as whatever fine you get when u do a burnout infront of a cop.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
