Getting Your License In Sa

[nice 28]

Hey guys

was just wondering if it would be possible to get my license in SA while living in vic.

over there it works as so

get your l's at 16

hold your l's for 6months minimum, get 50 hours practice, and get your p1s at 16years and 6 months

p1s for a year and p2s for 2 years.

could I get my license over in sa??

so i could drive over here when im 16 and 6months

what would be required

ie would i need a residential address in SA.

cheers guys

You need to be a resident of SA to get a SA license.

You need to prove you've been living there for 12 months aswell i believe.

In short, the law is there for a reason.

haha don't think i would like to be driving next to a 16 and a half year old here on their P's.

I just did NSW to VIC... Was told by vicroads I had to have residential address in VIC (not for 12months, though i already had a NSW one)

Also I only had 3 weeks to change it over since moving here, so i guess if you get booked in VIC then get pulled over several weeks,months later you could get done for it somehow.

Just wait in good time

As Ash said..

And if it was that easy everyone would do it.

You would also have to drive a car with SA rego..

[R31Nismoid]

Nah, you can drive a car with Vic Rego, but the police arent stupid

lol true true guys

probably not going to happen but thought it hey, you never know.

must be possible though??

wouldn't it be possible for me to get my p's in sa at 16 and 6 months, them move my residential address back to vic, but still retain my license, or get something like an international license??

or would i have to apply for a vic license??

i know police aren't stupid, but techniclly it wouldn't be anything illegal if it was possible...

[**JaR**]

my mate did it. used to live in adeliade but had been in melb for years, got a bank statement sent to an old neighbours house when he was visiting back there, got his p's while he was 17 then came back to melb with them....there's a way you can get an extension for 3 months as well so you do that and you can have em for a fair while

[nice 28]

yeh but would i only be able to keep them for 3 months and then it would get revoked??

or could i keep it??

My friend did this recently to get pass these new turbo, V8 rules. I think he said he only had to be a resident for 3 months in SA. Once the 3 months went by, he went to SA to get his licence. The next day he came back to Melb and drove. He's now living in Melb, but he is still 'living' in SA.

What he told the cops when he first got pulled over was that he was trying to sell the car and they let him off. He told me if he knew the trouble to get his licence in SA, he wouldn't have done it. He gets to drive a turbo car on his Ps so I think it would've been worth it.

^^^^

thats how i was thinking of doing it

i would be "living" in sa except i would be in melbourne most of the time

for the 3 months thing i guess i could just write down that im living at ....... when im 16 so that i can pass this law.

i guess i could use excuses like im down here seeing family or trying to sell the car etc. if i get pulled over, but i don't plan to drive like a knob so i shouldn't really have any problems

unless i drive a skyline or something...

Swapping licenses around states is easy. Getting you license in a state you don't actually live in is slightly harder, if you have friends or family there makes it much easier though. Not sure of how long you have to have been "living" there, I think it varies from state to state, ring up and find out. Driving in a state on a different states license also isn't an issue, holiday, divorced parents, work, the list is endless. There are plenty of reasons why you could legitimantley be found driving every other week in Vic on a SA license, same as driving a Vic registered car on SA license or vice versa.....

As for the length of time you have been living in a state to first get your license there I do believe you have to show proof, ie. 3 months of letters being sent there....but a good scanner and laser printer work wonders these days....anyway thats my dogeyness for the day

Till the police pull him over, then note down they spoke to him etc.

Then do it again 3-4 months later, and then fine him for driving illegally.

Its illegal to live in a state (eg. Vic) permanently, but have an interstate licence (eg. SA). The law requires you change it over unless you have a good enough reason to justify it like business where your a contract worker on a 3 month contract or whatever.

If you do not spend sufficient time in SA, and that requires proof, then expect to be fined for trying to play the law.

Not sure what happens if they catch you again, likely cancellation or a heftier fine.

You cant just "feed" excuses every time you get pulled over.

It doesn't work and i know a couple friends who were pinned for it after they were pulled over twice (randomly) in 3 weeks.

You could always try sayinig that you have been back in adelaide for 3 months and have just come back, isnt the law innocent untill "proven" guilty?

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah, but when you drive a car rego'd in Vic, and have a license in SA... and are logged time and time again being pulled over...

How long do you think the police will be "fooled" for?

Not long, i assure you. The law is well within its rights to question it, the evidence suggests your lying. You would have to prove otherwise.

[W0rp3D]

im a truck driver that does 3500-4000k's a week and raely get pulled over (in my 33 or truck) as long as you are doing everything legaly and driving a clean stock car then you should only get pulled over a minimal amount of times.

[R31Nismoid]

If you have a P Plate, you will be pulled over.

The cars are illegal to drive, so your a sitting duck.

Either way its breaking the law.

lol, so? they have no grounds whatsoever to fine you. how do they know weather or not you have been here for those 4 months.

[R31Nismoid]

Try it then

im guessing that if i was to drive a car registered in SA it would be MUCH easier also.

and i also don't plan to get a high-performance car for the street on my p's anyway, gotta get some experience.

anything else i should know???
