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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
