E Class License

[zonk]

Hey everyone I want to know if you can apply for a E class license if you have lost your license on your P's. IF anyone has done this please let me know asap !

What did you lose your license for??

From the DPI:

Please note: You can no longer obtain an Extraordinary Driver's Licence for demerit point offences.

i thought e class license is only for work related like...you NEED it for work and so they grant you an exemption...but seeming as you lost license on p's uhm... i'd guess probably not

[NA_Goodness]

They no longer do E-class licenses, the "Double or Nothing" rule has taken over. They give you a full license, but youllse a demerit point within 12 months you'll lose your license for double the original amount of time.

I'm not sure if you can do it on P plates because if you lost your licence while on Ps, you have to resit your practical test before getting your license back.

i lost my license a few months ago (have 3 1/2 weeks before i can go for my L's again) on my P-plates, was on green P's aswell...You have to reapply for your L's, so sit the first test, the 30 questions one, then your driving examination, then the HPT then, you have your P's back.

If you lose your license for 3 months, and gain any demerit points during that period(3 or 6 months typically depending on the offence. 3 months for general loss of licence, 6 months for reckless) then your suspension will double (so 6 to 12months etc).

Damn, news to me though just checked and saw this 'good behaviour period' as outlined here

I'd rather lose my license for 3 months, then get all my points back so I won't have to stress for 9 months. Considering the lack of TEGS on the road, you'd just be unlucky to be nabbed for driving without a license.

Ah yes sais on the dpi site that you cant get double or nothing whilst on your P's.. yay another 8 months wait :S f**k public busses that stink like urine

u can only do double or nothin scheme if u have lost ur license due to demerit points and u must be off p-plates. e-plates do still exist, and u can get them if u lost ur license on p-plates but u will have to resit the tests.

I've been told pleading your case in person to the DPI can lead to e-plates. dont quote me on that though, was told about it a couple of years ago.

I just got a letter saying I can only get 3 more demerit points before losing my license, and it outlined the whole double or nothing thing as well... sigh.

You can get E plates on a full licence, guy at work who got done for hoonlaw has them for 3 months during his ban.

dont have to do the hpt mate, i lost my license in oct and only got around to getting it back a month ago.

I passed the theory on friday and practical on a saturday but they dont process it until mondays, i thought i had to do the hpt, so i was driving round on monday shit scared of getting a 9month driving without a license suspension. But when i got to the dpi on monday arvo they said yeah all good go for it, I was like wtf and they told me you only ever have to do the hpt once.
