benm Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 In NSW I believe you get them all back after 3yrs. It might be similar in VIC.

benm Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Well you have 5 points left so yes you could afford to lose afew more but in NSW it takes a full 3 years before you get your full amount of points back.

predator Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I wouldn't worry about it too much.. with the state of enforcement at the moment its very hard to hold onto points, and 3 years is too long. Just drive as normal - once you lose the licence just catch public transport for 3 months Get all your points back, rince and repeat.

NickR33 Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Oh and do I have to inform my insurance company when I get a fine...I have full comprehensive with 'Just Cars' (AAMI's youth extorsion program) If I don't inform them can they refuse to pay out in the case of an accident?

predator Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 ...and forgot about insuring any decent car again in your life... Shrug.. I've had countless speeding fines and never had an at-fault insurance claim. Its all b.s. They still will insure you, there is a 3 year period or something after which they can't count loss of licence or anything in your assessment.

sewid Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 The points you earned at the time of that offence expire 3 years from the offence. If you get more points, those new points expire 3 year from the date of that offence. The points you have now expire in 3 years irrespective of what other offences you commit after getting them.
