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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
