Losing Points From Nsw? But Have Vic Licence


Recommended Posts

Not anymore, the state licensing systems are now all linked together, so getting done in one state automatically applies the points to your license, no matter where you live, unlike the good old days where I had a Vic and WA license, due to having residences in both states, it's amazing how many tickets you could get out of mainly due to the copper not wanting the hassle of ticketing a license from interstate back then.

When were they linked?

up until at least 5 months ago i can tell you for a fact they are not linked.

It was a fine only back in Apr/May when my best mate copped one in NSW on a Vic license.

I'd be keen to know this too. As i might have acquired a fine in NSW, and will they chase me for it in VIC.

God knows I CBF'd to drive in Sydney again....what a stupid city that is :D

lol wow 2000? You are unlucky!

As my best mate is in the Navy, i know a fair few of those guys.

Whatever state they are based in, they get a licence in another state, no points to be taken. It's been working for them for the past 10 years.

As far as I am aware, they have been for a few years now, I got a fine in Perth in 2000 and the points went against my Vic license.

yup, i got done in SA 3 or 4 years ago and 3 points still went on my vic license....

A lot of if's and buts in this tread.

But i will give you another thing to think about.

Since you posted this on the 21st and said you got done today that makes it a Saturday and its double demerit on the weekends in NSW..

Before you cross the boarder there is a sign ..

And i hope you didnt get done in a road work area thats double to..

well my experiences from living in a border region are:

You used to be able to get both a Victorian AND NSW licence, effectively giving you double the points. IIRC, if you lost it in one state you'd just switch them over and continue on your way. I am reasonably sure that they have closed this one loophole.

Over the course of my P's I gathered 6 points from the BS revenue raising civvy camera cars in VIC, none of the points carried over.

My sister's BF is licenced in Vic, and got done in NSW for drink driving - I have seen the letter from Vicroads as well as a notice from NSW police saying that he is fine to drive in VIC but isn't allowed to in NSW. This was about 3 months ago too, so obviously its not all working in cohesion yet.

The only way I know you can potentially do it is to get a licence in another state at the same time as you have your Vic one and have them applied to that. e.g. At uni in QLD, get a QLD licence and get caught in QLD, apply points to QLD licence, which leaves your Vic one clean. They have to allocate to a licence from my experience. The only thing I have seen them reneg on is from a fixed camera and is the fine portion if you are living overseas (e.g. caught speeding with a fixed camera while back in Oz on holiday from overseas. They still want a licence to allocate points to but certainly a couple of years back didnt pursue the $$)

ive had points taken from vic when i had my nsw licence, but when i had my vic licence i got a fine and points lost in vic 18 months ago, changed it to nsw then back to vic within 3 months n have never copped anything from it. i got a letter from vicroads saying how good of a driver ive been not 2 have lost points within 2 or 3 yrs or some crap.

also have known people to have lost their vic licence, only to transfer it to nsw n get away with it.

i guess in reality it comes down to the cop putting the fines through the system?

I know a lot of vic truck drivers get away with it by not paying the fine you get in nsw, once you pay it then the points come off, only down side is that if you get pulled over in nsw and have racked up too many unpaid fines they will send you back to the border (truck drivers any way).

I got a fine in a mates car in perth about 5 or so years ago, when i wrote down my license number i changed 2 of them, about a month later i got a call from a cop over there saying that the number was wrong and he needed my license number again, after i came to the conclusion that it wasnt my mate trying to stir me up i gave him my license number, with 2 of the other numbers changed, never heard about it again.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
