Back in the day, you can drive a manual car with an Auto license as long as you're a full.................but that got change also a while ago (god i'm an old kunt) so basically if you've got your Auto license after the year 19something then you can't drive a manual vehicle.

Then you can fight it then.

Sitting in the seat doesnt mean a lot

Course it does. It's intention to drive the vehicle. Same thing when you are tanked up on alcohol. If you are sitting in the drivers seat you can get done for drink driving

Only if the keys are in the ignition - proving intent :D

Sleeping in your car drunk with the keys in the glovebox or something does not show intent.

It's still arguable in a court of law is the point.

Intersting... I had no idea they changed the rules. Lucky I got my manual licence when I was learning :D

That's true but the police would have used their own judgment. A guy that is alone with a girl, who is too youg to even have her licence. I don't think they had a doubt in their mind who drove the car there.

who is too young to even have her licence

:P

on topic.. i would fight it, as implausible as it sounds you may have just been waiting near/in the car for a friend

no use giving in when they don't have the smoking gun so to speak

Look - you know more about the situation, and with every post a bit more info comes out.

How is anyone going to give solid advice if it's taken nearly 2 pages to get the facts?

Not true. The automatic condition is not there when you get a full license.

yeah im old too. I remember when you got an auto lic you could only drive an auto vehicle. Not sure where it stands now, but I think if you have an auto lic unless you pass a manual lic test you shouldnt be able to drive a manual.

Its a very different way of driving and some extra skill is really required.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
