VIC: calling p platers who have had instant licence losses for speeding

what happens is you recieve an instant suspension for speeding over the limit then points for breaching the law. You will most likely recieve in the mail soon a letter regarding the 12month system or a 3month loss.

This occured to me when i lsot my licence for carless driving. The licence was suspended and then i lost 3 points for the incident. So i copped a 1 month suspension and now i only have 2 points, the system is VERY VERY flawed. You get stung 6 ways from sunday for the same thing.

aZk.

 

its risky cos if you take the 12 monther and **** up, youll loose it for 6 or 12 or somehting massive... i wouldnt take the risk. Id rather cler the record with the 3 monther.. gotta think, 12 months is a massive amount of time to **** up once! just once, for anything!

its not that you end up doing extra time, there is 3 differnt penalties for one crime... its like being handed a 6month sentence, life and the death penality!

i got 1 month suspension
fine
3 points
paseenger restrictions
extension of p-period for 7months

for one **** up!!!

it is gay...

i hate the authority just for this stupid crap!

 

damn that sucks!,

i know, you cant afford to speed these days, i rarely speed, sure i like to accellerate but only to the speed limit, oh well good luck with either option you pick, they're both not easy!

 

I picked the 12 month option, back in jan, get off my p's in may, would hate to extend my p period.

 

What a crock of smelly excrement. Are you saying you can't go 12 months without losing a point? Drive like a tool and you don't deserve to be on the road.

Back on topic. I lost mine instantly when I was on my P's as well. 1 month loss of license and 12 extra months as a P plater!

 

yea same thing for me but only 3 moths, well 4months including the 1 they didnt tell me about

lost 1 point for miner speeding
lost 4 pints for major, (within 2 week of each other)
and my licence was suspended for 1 moth and i thought "ohk not too bad" !
then i get this letter with the option . . . bull**** i reckon should give u the 4 months at once!

ohh and when i recevie my licence back i get passenger restrictions for 12moths

 

I wondered why you weren't driving your car ..
Any way if you take the 12 months you'd want to be careful ...
I lost my license years ago ( back when i had an XB GT ) for 12 months, for overtaking a cop car .. fortunately there was non of this crap to deal with !

I spose it depends on how badly you want to drive .. !

 

A mate of mine lost his license for doing 18 k's over and his rear p plate fell off..... Took 4 months for him to get a letter then he had the choice of the 12 month good behavior or loss for 3 months, he took the 3 months, its done and he got 12 months passenger restrictions which is nearly over, but he has no record of when that actually is. Is it 12 months after he gets his license back?

 

The short answer is in your first line. Be good - make sure your car is well maintained and roadworthy. It is also probably a good idea to keep your car relatively stock. Also guys note that many of these alternative tail lights do not comply with ADR's as they don't have the required reflectors (hakhawks should be ok because the reflector is in the bumper bar - asuming the colors illuminate correctly).

just do what we do up here, put fake plates on your car and drive around anyway... whos going to care?

 

cruzncommo = idiot.

pick the 12 month thing. sit 5 kay under the limit at all times etc etc.. basically drive as if your 90 with some added brainwaves.

 

lol and by the way, I personally have never come across anyone who actually lasts 12 months without getting done for anything.

 

You will when your car (and maybe even you) gets impounded. I think you have just won the ****wit post of the month award amongst some pretty fierce competition.
