Lepperfish Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 You dont have to go back onto your l's, you will be issued with a new licence but not a gold one if you held that before you lost it. Regarding points im 99% sure you will have the same amount of points on there as when you lost it. Your points come back 3 years from the offence date.

sky017 Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 when this happened - how did you actually get your license back ? do they just send it back to you in the post or someting? or do you gotta go get photograph and all that shit ?... the cop said theyd send me something in the mail.... i wasnt really listening , he was being to much of a tool.. but yeah looks like i got the same as you did - although he said something about knocking me up for a couple of years , "the woman copper" said hes one of the nice cops on the road.. im like yeah say that to me again .

Yo-Yo Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Did you get your license suspended or cancelled & confiscated on the spot? If you were only suspended like I have been in the past, you will get a letter in the mail notifying you of when your licence will be suspended & how long until you can drive again. You still keep your existing licence, you just can't drive while suspended. It will all be explained in the letter. Tough luck dude Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/146697-lost-license/#findComment-2739567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough luck dude yeah this is the way I got suspended before, just a letter in the mail informing me that I am suspended from this date to that date. and after the suspension I could still drive. no going to RTA or doing Ls again etc.. hope this helps p/s-sorry to hear about your license..

sky017 Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 all those who want to know - i called up the rta today . iv just been suspended for 6 months . and lost all my points. so what happens is - iv just gotta go and get the photo done again before the date . only thing is i have no points until im on black license . so i cant slip up ever . otherwise 3 months straight away because i have no points . but when im on blacks i get the 6 back. i still dont know why the cop took my license - they even said it was pointless . can i have some ones honest opinion though - since im off for 6 months should i sell my car ?

br3tt Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you can afford to keep your car; keep it. If not (and insurance/rego is too much to keep it doing nothing, or if you are going to be tempted to duck down the road in it, sell it).
