hey guys, to cut a long story short i was done last week for something i didn't do but i'm unsure if i'm going to bother fighting it in court so i'm weighing up my options. Story is that i had 1point left on my license for things that i was stupid enough to do... Then last week they tried to tell me i was doing 107 in a 70 and they suspended my license on the spot and it was 5demerit points... Which means i'm minus 4 at the moment. I do get 3 points back towards the end of this month for an offence 2 years ago. So when i am eligible to get my license back i should be minus 1 point only. However i WAS able to get my full license on the 10.10.09 so what i want to know is do they give your demerit points back after your suspension? Because if they don't then how am i supposed to get my license back if i'm minus 1 point. Keep in mind i was supposed to get my fulls on the 10.10.09 and can i go for them after my 3 month suspension. I was an idiot on my red p's but i did curb my bad driving habits, funny how when you're being good that's when you get done lol

I'm a little confused but i think you're asking if you can stretch it out to get your ponts back before you get the next demerit points, or able to go for your full licence?

Some points to remember.

- Demerit points stay on your licence for 3yrs before they go back.

- You wont be able to go for your fulls untill any fines are paid/settled.

not sure if that answers your question.

Again, I suggest you seek legal advice.

ok haha obviously i didn't explain it properly. Basically i was on 1 point and lost 5 so currently i'm minus 4 points, but i get 3 back before i am due to get my license meaning i will be minus 1 point when i am allowed to get my license back. They obviously can't give me back my license so does this mean it will continue to be suspended until my other points come back onto my license?

Pretty sure that at the end of a suspension (due to loss of all points, not something like speeding on Ps) then you get all the points back.

And by pretty sure I mean, it happened to me... the final straw was no P plates :P

Had no license for 3 months, got it back, had all 6 points, got fulls, have all 12 points. Still have all 12 points to this day :(

Does the suspension extend the time you have to be on your P's though?

ie if you had it suspended for 3 months u have to be on your p's for 3 months longer then if you hadnt been suspended?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but with the new speeding laws, isnt 30-40 over automatic 3 month suspension...Then you have the automatic 3 month suspension for running out of points. So thats a total of 6 months suspended licence. Then you get your full P2 points back. Then you go for your full licence after waiting the week or so for the correct amount of time to pass between the time you got done, and the original 10/10/09 date. Also you cannot go for your full licence on the 10/10/09 if you are currently suspended.

That was the case when i got done on my p's and then ran out of points.

My best advice would be to look on the rta website but i'm sure the above is correct.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
