Adelaide visit....

rs73, the way I think of it, holden, ford, all the same:p who cares:)

funkymonkey, if you want to tranfer your liscence to SA you need to be a resident and have evidence of residential status, such as a bill or letter with your name sent to a postal address in SA. Sorry I dont know where the offices are, but here is a link to the website http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/

yeah that's not a problem, hehe I already got a couple of letters with an address of a mate's flat

Hey funky why do you want to transfer your licence here?

[funkymonkey]

so I can get off my P's lol... otherwise I gotta be on em for another year n a half... and the rules just got stricter in VIC for P platers...

[akeenan]

bastard sit it out like everyone else! I'm off mine .....

[funkymonkey]

pahah... sif... there's always ways around the system.

[Bl4cK32]

not in Adelaide mate. U haven't tangled with the transport dept. here yet.

[funkymonkey]

well I rang them up n asked specific details, told em i was moving to adelaide etc, what was the procedure n all, and they said it should be OK, i've got a name of the person I spolke to and when I get there (city RTA) i gotta go n ask for her n she'll sort me out... I jus have to get there lol

[Shrub32]

HAHA - i wanna see u get rego, pass through the front part of regency, then make it out of Adelaide without a defect notice. If u can do that, u have run the cannonball my friend

[Steve]

Bl4cK32, I think he is only chasing a liscence swap, not rego.

If I was after rego I would be off to Qld, but in Vic, they have some pretty restrictive P plater rules, so by changing to SA liscence, he gets an open liscence early - Is that right funkymonkey?

[funkymonkey]

Right on the money Steve, VIC has the laxest of rego rules (once you rego you never go back and you pay your renewal at the post office (around $400) and they mail you the sticker, no pink slips, blueslips or any slip...) so I dun think I'll be changing my rego over.

Besides, I'd love to see em try to defect a stock standard non turbo (many a cop in melb has tried to find a BOV or the stealth turbo only to have his partner laff at him when I tell em that its an N/A)

[Bl4cK32]

what is so difficult in sitting out another year and a half?

[funkymonkey]

the new rule changes, basically you're allowed to lose 4 points then after that for every point you lose you get suspended for a month...

I'm sitting on 4 points atm, next point is a 1 month suspension and so on. Every time you get suspended your P's get extended by 6 months.

Oh an not displaying your P plates is a 3 point fine.

If you could shove lumps of coal up VIC politicians they'd be shittin diamonds in a couple of days.

id rather have your licencing laws, than not be allowed to drive a modified skyline, engineered or not. Its not that hard to keep the points.

[Steve]

I dont know, I think if SA had a 'zero tolerance' to speeding (1km over the limit is enough to get done), I would find a liscence from another state very attractive.

[MADGT4]

Well i moved to darwin for a year and changed my licence to a NT one and when i moved back to SA i went to change my licence back to an SA one and they were gonna keep me on the NT system because they thought i originally got my licence there, but i explained it to em and got back 2 the SA system...

So i dunno how u would go changing your licence over but i mean hey it would b worth a try, i mean all u can get is a no.

One thing worth a mention tho is i love the NT system how u don't loose points for speeding no matter what state your in.... One of my mates managed to get one and he lives in SA got done doing 160 in a 110 zone which is instant loss of licence but the cop saw his licence and just said yep no worries

[Steve]

I changed my liscence over to SA, no questions asked.

Most states require you to change your liscence if you move to reside in another state.
