Demerit Points As Well As An Automatic Suspention


Recommended Posts

Ok i have done a stupid thing and got pinched for speeding with an automatic suspension (6 months)

Now my question is i only had 6 demerit points left on my license before the incident... After receiving the fine which is an automatic suspension of 6 months and 6 demerit point will this mean i get suspended twice or will the suspension run at the same time ?

I know i have made a stupid mistake so no need to go kickiing my butt even more but i have no idea how this is going to go with an auto suspension as well as wiping out my points ... any light on the subject would be really appreciated thanks

ish!

once you get your licence back i would guess you might get that bond where you cant lose any points for 12 months or you can forfeit your licence for xx period..but maybe it runs concurrently *shrugs*.. what ever happened to smokey?

You'll be sent an option notice sometime soon which will come into effect after your automatic 6 month suspension is complete. Your choices are A. be a good boy on the road for 12 months and at the end of this period all your demerit points will be wiped out for a clean slate, or B. stay off the road for another 3 months and at the end of this period all your demerit points will be wiped out for a clean slate. Should you choose the good behaviour, and you f*** up even 1 demerit point, you will be off the road / suspended for 6 months...after which your demerit points will be wiped out for a clean slate.

Also interesting to note: hypothetically, if you only had room on your licence for 4 more demerit points before getting an option notice then your "clean slate" would be starting off with 2 demerit points because of the 6 demerit point offence carrying over to the next slate.

thanks guys .... basically i got pinned behind 2 cars in a double lane doing same speed (45 kms) late for work etc etc... God onlyt knows why its 50 kms up this stretch of road as its paddocks one side and one big factory the other...

as soon as i had my gap i went back a gear and feed a bit of boost to clear my self away and bam he lit me up like a Christmas tree further down the road ... i still don't believe it as i really didnt think i gave it to it that extreamly...

i saw the radar and it stated 95kmph///71.5 metres so i will just have to cop it sweet...

:D

ohhh gotta go Gf is lecturing me hard, back later

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
