Speeding fines for P Platers

[drewins]

I recently recieved a speeding fine for doing 77 in a 50 zone. It was 270 bucks and 3 points. I have been told that I will have to stay on my P's longer now but the cops never said anything about that. Can someone please let me know what happens with that cos i cant stand being on my P's for much longer.
cheers

if u haven't lost any points before then u should still have 1 left meaning u get your opens on the specified date.

depending on what state you are in (this applies for QLD, not sure about other states) you will get a letter in the mail, giving you an option of either a 3 month voluntary suspension or a 1 yr good behaviour bond, but if you do anything wrong on a good behaviour bond you automatically loose your license for 6 months

you did the crime so you do the time

I'm from South Australia. I still have one point remaining so I should be right. dont know how im gonna survive on one point though

do u only get 4 demerit points in SA to begin with?
in WA we get 12 lol, and u can get as many speeding fines as u like on ur p's

only way to lose ur liscence is DD or reckless/careless driving (they are automatic 3 months then u have to sit practical L's test again)

we get 4 or 5 i think now. it was 12 when i first had my ps (vic).

drewins youll have to learn to survive on one point. im sure you really arent that thick that youll go blow it now.

easy, don't speed.

[drewins]

Yeh i started on 4 points. I dont usually speed but someone was following me and it was an excel so i had to blow it off. It's not just speeding im afraid i'll get pulled over for something small. I wish we did start on 12 points on our P's.

lol drew.. hate those excels :P one met the back of my car a month ago... guess who came off second best :P thankyou insurance people.

[drewins]

Yeh the funny thing was they were trying to keep up with me when i was just taking it easy. When i had finally had enough guess who was sitting at the end of the street with laser gun. I bet the guy in the excel was laughing his head off

going by vicroads website in vic for first year u have 5 points, after that u will get ur full 12..

if u recieve any fine other then DD in any other state and loose points but not ur license it will not affect u in vic.. i was fined in qld wen driving up for there for 120 in a 100, i was meant to loose 3 points but lost none, then here i did a little burnout and im serious, its only squeld no smoke, they said i lost controll of my vechile and sent to my address a fine of 141 and 0 points.
even tho what they fined me was a motor bike law. going by my dads best mate, a sergent. thats why i lost no points, i could fight it cause i didnt loose control as he said. but ill deserve it, so i still have 5 points.. and in august it will be 12

I thought the 5 points per year applies during your full probationary period.. With the 12 points only kicking in once you get your Full..
