Cos i cant go 3 years without losing a point for something, so eventually i run out.

If you can, they reset your points.

Just wanted to clarify this one - you don't need to go the full 3 years without losing any points in order to get them back. Demerit points are applied (or deducted, technically) on the date of the infringement, and then 3 years after this date those points are returns to you. So as long as you don't accrue a TOTAL of 12 points (or 4, whatever licence you hold) in any 3 year period, you're fine.

So if I lose 6 points today, then another 2 points in June, I will have 4 points remaining until 14/01/2018 (assuming I don't lose any more between June and then). Comes 14/01/2018, I will have those 6 demerit points returned to my licence, leaving me with 10 points until June 2018, at which point the remaining 2 will be returned also.

I'm sure everyone knows this already, but I just thought I'd clarify a bit more :P

No, your wrong.

I wish it was like you say, but it isnt.

Source, please? I've been advised by multiple RTA employees on more than one occasion, and have clarified it with them to be sure.

It most certainly ISN'T "3 years with NO loss of points", which is what you're suggesting.

For ACT:

http://www.rego.act.gov.au/infringements/demerit-points

12 or more points within a 3 year period.

Technically I was wrong in that you don't start with 12 points to lose, but you start with 0 and accumulate them until you reach 12 within ant given 3 year period. My explanation above is still correct for the purpose of this discussion.

Well if you incurred LESS than 12 points within the 3 year period beginning from the date of the first offence, then yes. You have been treated unfairly. Unless your loss of licence wasn't directly due to accruing 12 points within 3 years, and was the ruling of someone with the power to revoke it.

End of the line is that as of whatever date the information in the link above was published, I'm correct (with regards to ACT licencing at least).

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
