Need Help With Renewal Of Licence And Getting Caught Speeding!


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone i'm on my p's and just last week i paid to renew my licence to go on my full as i'm meant to be getting off my p's on 5th of july. Last night i got flashed for speeding what i wanna know is will they back track it and will i still lose my licence as i am supposed to be after already getting another speeding fine before or do you think maybe they will take the points off my full licence as i have already paid for it and they are sending it in the mail.

I know i'm stupid lol i'm just very curious to what will happen. If anyone knows and can help the would be great.

As I understand it, they only take the points away from you when the payment goes through for the fine. At least in normal situations, yours may be different - I don't know.

Not sure of anything else really.

Other than the fact that if you were +20km/h over you're stuffed. :)

That and they usually give you a couple months to cough up. Usually they wont take the points off till you pay - because if it wasnt you you set to send in a stat dec or something saying this person was driving at that time, book them. etc.

From my understanding you will lose the points now... regardless of if you have paid for your full licence. You are still on your P's, so even if you pay it when you are on your full licence you admit it was you who was driving then.

I was on 1 point for 12 months on my P's and it carried over into my full licence.

Hard ask. My dad took a point for me for doing 10 ks over - i thought it was 110 and it was actually a 100 zone...in my Pulsar. But thats ONE point.

Be assed if id take 3 points for someone.

Ring VicRoads - i would imagine you will loose it. The fine will be dated with the offense date.

You loose the points immediately far as i understand it, however the fine doesn't go on your record until you actually pay the fine.

I know there is a shortcoming between the Police and VicRoads systems and im 99% certain that's the order of how it works.

But again - ring them.

I don't get how the whole nominating a willing person to take it instead - or if indeed the car WAS driven by someone else - works then ash?

If you illegally nominate another driver - then the points are just sent across to that driver as per the fine as its re-issued.

I have read stories in the news about how the points sometimes dont get sent across etc etc because the two systems dont 'talk' with each other.

Doesn't surprise me but id imagine they are fairly one off type cases

my half brother might he doesnt drve manual tho but is on his full licence if he is on his full licence can he drive manual or auto even tho he only got an auto licence on his p's

once you are full license the transmission restriction is lifted.

They recently changes the system so the points come off straight away regardless of whether u've paid or not.

Similar thing happened to my mate, he didnt lose his licence at the time, but 18 months later they must have done a check or something on his licence and he lost his licence for exceeding points on his P-plates (18 months into his full licence)

Hopefully they dont check urs i guess

As of 6 months ago (when i got my last fine) the points dont come off till 3 or 4 months after the offence or you pay the fine, which ever comes first.

Still looking into the back dating thing, i got a fine whilst on my 1 point probation for losing all my points, hasnt been signed over to me yet but i am off the probation, gotta figure out if i need to sign it over to some one else or just keep it.

Dude, aren't you normally the grammar nazi around this place?

If it was a fixed camera, pay someone to take the points for you ($100 a point just say), as well as paying the fine yourself. 15km/h over isn't that much of a big deal.

However if it wasn't fixed, I'd say you'd lose it since you don't get on your full license until the 5th of July reguardless of having paid or not.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
