Its easy to say "If you need to drive to earn money. Think very hard before you choose to lose it", but obviosly we know we f**ked up. We live and learn, and now we are just trying to make a lives a little easier, by enquiring. Nothing wrong with that i rekons

how does everyone know he didnt lose his licence on BULLSHIT eg. 43 in a 40 zone. people mustn't be so quick with smart ass comments!

Simply because you can't lose it for one offence.

You need at least two as a P plater in, or 5 as a full license holder

actually you can.

u can argue the fact that you depend on your licence for an income/ work purpose

they will take it into account and depending on your track record (history...not ur best time :(

put a good case forward n u got a chance...

( i know cos im a mechanic... kinda hard to do my job if i cnt drive)

they will prob increase the fine, and put u on a long probation

This is the lesson...no learning takes place if it's an easy one.

I did the same thing and life was hard...learnt my lesson (to a degree...I still cop the odd few km over fine here and there though).

Given he's suspended and looking for temporary licence, it's a safe assumption he's either breached the good behaviour on an option notice or done some serious speed to earn a suspension :(

But to answer OP question, no I don't think you can obtain a special licence. Someone at work lost their licence over one P plate having fallen down which was a bit ordinary...there was no way out of it even with a letter from the employer saying it wasn't his vehicle or P plates. And it's a bit hard to see a P plate fall down in a ute, isn't exactly visible in a rear view mirror.

That is harsh, I know of a similar situation with the P plate falling down and a TIN being issues after a very minor accident. This went to court and the police lost against the argument that the P plate fell down in the accident.

Regarding the original post due to mandatory sentencing (for every offense I can think of that would result in licence loss) the judge cannot allow you to continue to drive if you pay the fine/plead guilty.

Speak to a lawyer about your specific situation/offense.

He is talking about if you have already lost it - not if you have it, and have a fine/defect etc that you are contesting.

Hmmm, you probably did something naughty as you havnt tried to defend what happened. =P but if your life depends on it (dont flame me) I would personally just keep driving but under a different car or number plates as if High way patrol pop your rego in their computer they will see your suspended. Normal police cars wont bother unless they are assigned to high way patrol as they carry out 'real' police work.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
