hey all

I just got my license disqualified last thursday for 12 months,

now i need to know whether or not i will be able to drive my skyline when i get my license back next july?

I have owned the car since last december, and it is registered in my name?

So will I be able to continue driving it, cause i'm not sure if i have to sell it or keep it??

Thanks heaps guys

I dont think there should be a problem. Doesnt it not apply to exisiting P platers, if you had to re-do the test maybe, but i dont think so otherwise...

Hmmm something to investigate

*edit* thinking i might need some sleep, this post doenst make much sence :confused:

If you were disqualified then I think you're in trouble.

From the RTA site: "The prohibited vehicle condition does not apply to:

Existing provisional (P1 and P2) licence holders prior to 11 July 2005, unless they are disqualified for a serious driving offence committed on or after 11 July 2005."

Yeah, but it states in bold, "committed on or after 11 July 2005"...because i got caught driving unlicensed before july 11th, so does it mean if you do a serious driving offence only on or after july 11th you can't drive it?

Hmm...? Might have to give the RTA a call on monday

anyone else know?

yes thats right, if your an old P plater and you get your licence suspended after 11th july and u get it back in 6 months you wont be able to drive any turbo cars or have a passenger.

however if you lost your licence before 11th its ok.

i have heard a few different things going round, the best thing to do is ask the RTA, becasue the way i understand it is, u are ok to drive it when u get it back however u may not carry more than one passenger in the vehicle.

im sure its ok, if u got caught on the 8th, however u got disqualified after july 11th, so im sorry to say but i think ur unlucky. cause i lost mine on the 1st of july and i remember i was saying to everyone how lucky i was not to of lost it after the 11th but i cant remember why. coming to think of it i think ur gonna have to cop it, u did lose it after the 11th, i dont think it matters when the offence was, as they have to give u that 21 days notice of suspension..

if your loose your license for a period of 12months or longer,you will have to re-sit the test and do a full 12months on red P's again,,,not sure about if you have to do another driving test(though i think you might).

Any disqualification is taking from the date of the offence. Not from when you recieve your sentence.

I should know, I recently lost my licence for 6 months and only have 2 months left (yay). And my disqualification period started from the date of the offence. So you should be all good if you got caught on the 8th pal.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.

      Bit of a similar question, apprently with epoxy primer you can just sand the panel to 240 grit then apply it and put body filler on top. So does that basically mean you almost never have to go to bare metal for simple dents?

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.
