lost licence

[croat]

Just asking who here on the forums has lost their licence and how did you cope not driving your car (legally). Also anyone know what the penalty is for driving without a licence?

Thanks...

111 in a 60 zone. lost it for 3 months. i did not drive at all by choice and it was hell. well, i was on the trains every day and we all know how pleasant that is.

now that i look back i know i benefited from loosing my licese;

i don't speed anymore (and that's not cause i drive a camry for those that feel compelled to tease me:( ).

during the 3 months i learned a fair bit about cars as i had nothing else to do.

i discovered the SDU forums and thus got involved with these forums. through that i've met 100's of ppl from all over the place. i even went to qld so i got to meet some of the guys up there. if loosing my license led to meeting everyone on here i'd do it again without any hesitation.

my car has been long gone and i might never own another skyline but i'm still here and that's cause of the friends i've made

i dont adv u to drive without a licence...

i've been busted driving without a licence.... actually i was busted for speeding and when the cop looked at my licence it was x-pired got a massive fine it was around $1800 in total

i had to park my car on the road and the cop drove me home, coz he busted me just up the road from my house!!

trust me man..... DONT RISK IT!!!! unless u can afford to pay the fine!!

[U WERE MINE]

yeah lost it for months too ... worst 3 months of my life..

though if i ever lost it again.. i would buy a shitbox and drive it around to work and back..

[XCUZME]

obviously you're not coping well boro since i saw you driving the commodore the other day buddy.

stop frigging driving, you already got caught once, next time you get a private room with bubba (actually u might like that)

Don't ask

the pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tosh]

My liscense is currently suspended because of speeding.

If you get caught driving while disqualified it's 6 months jail. No shit, my mate had to do a "bad driver's" course and they have just changed a whole lot of laws.

Not advisable at all

Anyone know what the penalty is for being caught with no licence? i was caught about a month ago and am facing court next week on tuesday, i dont care about the $$$ i just really want to know if they will suspend me for longer, (i have already lost it for 3 months). So is it just a fine or do they take your licence for a year or so? George the reason i drive is for work purposes and when it is urgent to get around i dont go cruising anymore or nothing...

I feel like shit i am getting my skyline back after 4 months in the workshop, i have payed all my outstanding fines and now i will lose my licence and recieve more major fines! it feels like i will never be able to drive my skyline again. :)

i am currently on suspension for speeding 160km/h on freeway to brissy (was going up there to see the hks gtr... arggg drag combat costed me a bit...). got pulled over twice , all up $1474 + $188. and 6 + 3 points = $1662 and 9pts i've spent to see the hks gtr...

and suspension finally finishes in 15days, though i am on 'good behaviour' term for one-whole-farking-year till 16th Nov "2003".

and for the driving whilst suspended... very risky and expensive. my cousin got caught by an undercover after he went thru 3 red lights and was speeding while he was suspended... he got nearly $5000 worths of fines and 3years of suspension... (but his record was BAD maybe it was a one-off special case...)

[Silver-Arrowz]

Losing your license for speeding will already make you look bad to insurance companies. No need to make it look worse. That also applies to your driving record.

[nissaner]

maybe that explains my latest quote from just cars at $16000. :eek:

[Guest DON91E]

I lost 33 something points (its more like 36)

Anyways, lost it for 18months got it back in july.

Got pulled over once for driving while suspended.......he gave me a fine for $388.00 Driving with a expired liscence, apparently there was some mix up @ the RTA and yeh it came up as expired not suspended.

My bro just went to court recently he lost it for 3 months and on the LAST day of his suspension he was busted. Not for speeding or anything just a random thing. Went to court,

Judge" why were u driving while under suspension?"

My bro " i was going to pay off the fines so i could get my liscence back the next day"

Judge " hmm, well come back in a month show me the reciepts for the fines and i wont disqualify you"

My bro " OooooKKkkkkk......."

My brother was just lucky we had heaps of unpaid fines so we just gathered up all the fines and paid for them.

Went back to court in a month and judge let him off.

So...just lucky i guess it happens.

Sux though, can't drive your beloved car, then all the deep thoughts get ya "wats the point of driving such a fast car" "wats to point in doing it up to make it go faster" rar rar.... the voice's won't go away!!!

BUt u hang in there stick it out and yeh u be alright, This is my 2nd R33 and well wat can i say, BIG LEARNING experiece my last one, this one im much more wiser in,

Nissaner, 16000 now thats an effort! i thought mine was bad (10,000 from just cars)

Don91e mate u have one lucky bro!!! Maybe the judge was in a real good mode or something cause that is rare! I hope i dont lose my licence for any longer, just fines!

[T0nyGTSt]

Only cost me $360 or something...

It's already kinda folklore in the office.

I was doing 95+ (going onto 120 or so) in a 50 zone...

Overtaking an unmarked Camry police car...

On a bridge...

On a double yellow line...

With a cancelled license...

And I gave the officer a nasty glare as I passed him for doing 40 in a 50 zone.

w00t!!!

[U WERE MINE]

this is weird... it seems like everyone has different story's with gettng caught while suspended.. maybe it is just up to the officer/judge on the day....

one thing i dont understand why speed and do other infringements when ure driving without a license?? bit silly i think..

by the way croat..tell us how u go at court good luck

[T0nyGTSt]

If they stacked penalties you'd be ****ed.

For me...

$360 for no license

$500+ for 45 over plus more three months?

$184+ 3 points for double yellow.

It all gets a bit ridiculous. I am glad I didn't have a license, if I did I would be suspended for 3 months... this way I just pay and drive again

Yeah it really does depend on the judge and the mood he is in. I will post up here on tuesday with the court story! I am on my way now to give them my plea bargain.

[Guest Diabolik1]

[croat]

Goran i hope soo too! i just found out after a session at Waverley court that for a first offence for driving without a licence is minumum penalty 1 year suspension, the goes to 18 months and then 2 years...
