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.

Get an address in another state, say NSW (if you have family etc over the border) and go get a license in that state and drive on it until you get your vic license back....

That is about the only way around the situation that I can think of. (assuming that another state's system cannot tell that your license was suspended).

I enquired about this, last week. Even if you have a NSW licence which is valid, you are still suspended from driving on VIC ROADS.

How would they cross reference this? If it is a new NSW license and you denied having a VIC license.

Depends on your luck really, they might look at your license and say have a good evening, however if for whatever reason they type in your name into the VIC database and see your suspended, hello courtcase.

I mean im just quoting vicroads here, hopefully im wrong?

That is a really stupid thing to do. Firstly no insurance cover and if you do get caught the penalty is much greater not to mention if you do this a second time you can go to jail.

haha RE: the NSW licence thing, the opposite applied for my sister's bf when he got done drink driving in NSW on a Vic licence. He actually got a letter in the mail after his court appearance which stated he wasn't allowed to drive in NSW. Strangely enough this didn't carry over to Victoria as well. The joys of living in a border region :thumbsup:

Ok, quit your job, sell your car/tools and sit out the 6 months surviving on baked beans. Im saying if your life depended on driving for your job and to pay your bills/rent unless you find a quick alternative your more than f**ked. Just dont drive like a loon and avoid the whole "the sky is falling you have no insurance"

Never assume, it leads to assumptions.

Im only doing the 3 month suspension coz vicroads f**ked me over with their mis-typed options notice. As a result of THEIR mistake I am in the situation im in now and nothing can be done as the suspension is already locked in. arguing it and going to court would be a waste of time and money.

I was only asking coz I had heard of something similar some time ago.

Thanks.

the law's f**k, i just got reemed 4 points and $450buck fine because the cop said i was doing 75 in a 50zone, and i was also tale gating......

wats even more funny is that she didnt have a radar gun on me and THEN admitted it was accurate guess on her part.

wats the point in having a system were if u fight the fine by going to court, u ending losing more money than ur original fine

technically it'd only cost $80 max to challenge that fine in court. IF you were in the right. In most cases you can have the state accept that cost too if you win.

You're not in the right though, so I highly doubt that'd be the case.

did u speak to legal aid?

i did, IF i lose i have to pay court fee's, police fee's and lawyer fee's.

there's so many things i need to go through, such as interigate the copper in question on how she estimated my speed, then cross referencing her answer and all other junk thats just not worth it.

also how can u be speed and tailgating someone whos doing the limit?

Police are recognised estimators of speed.

You could have played it smart and taken it to court and admitted doing 64-65 instead of 75. Been there, done that (apparently i was doing 140 in a 80, was pegged back to under 100). I went through it. Gathered my evidence, had my lawyer present it all etc.

So based on the estimate in your case it would have been knocked back to 15km/h which i do believe it less than 25 over.

Either way mate I doubt you were doing 50km/h, and so would the court unless you had some amazing eye witness accounts.

Of which I'd imagine the Police would have witnesses which again puts you further behind the 8-ball.

It makes sense you lose more money if you challenge an offence (Shan did say IF YOU ARE RIGHT) - otherwise every single idiot who thinks they are not in the wrong/not at fault/think they can lie would tie the court system up more than it already is.

Its a good deterrent and they should increase the fines if you lose and make an ass of yourself :P

You could try to drive on other state license and if lucky get away with it but If you are checked and they check your name then it will show that you have a Victorian driver's license and are suspended.

I have caught male doing similar thing who was suspended here on Vic license so he went back to Malaysia and got his License over there to cover the time while he was suspended here. Big FAIL!!! Nice try though.

Question when u punch someones rego in does it tell you if the driver (owner) is a P plate license holder?

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

you can do it in one if your trying :P

R-SPEC, dont mean to pry into your personal life, but what do you do for work? how much of the day do you spend driving? do you run your own business? 3 months isnt too long, it may be financially viable to get a driver of some sort. do you have an employee/employer that you work with all the time? maybe offer a financial incentive for them to take over the driving roll.

or very quickly find another job that you can get to, even if its shit, just to hold you up for 3 months, then go back to/find another job in your field.

i'm not going to suggest driving as its illegal, immoral and you are the work of the devil if you do it, but just out of curiosity, is your work car registered in your name? how often do you get pulled over while driving it?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
