Does anyone here know the penalties of being caught driving on your own when you are on your L's?

I have been driving my charade a bit getting it ready for the big trip to the coast.. like driving it to n fro the mechanics and brake guys...

I drive without any plates at all, drive sensibly and am in a 83 charade so i dont attract to much attention.

Edit: i guess i said that wrong, I WAS driving my car for the past 2 days to get it up and running for a trip to the coast me and my mates are going on. Im not asking becasue i am still driving i was just wonder what risk i took.

ever heard of tow trucks to take it places or mobile mechanics?

youare a fool for driving if you get caught youwill lose your learners and not be able to apply again for 12months well thats how it is in the west and i think eastern states are even harder

k, i have to get it fixed, dads at work no one else can take it.

no more 'idiot' flame posts kthx

ok, you come onto a performance car forum,

which really doesnt tolerate stupid behaviour on the road,

admit that youre driving on your l's without supervision,

and expect not to get flamed?

:)

maybe 'idiot' is the wrong word to use...

probably best not to risk it man. A random check from the cops while ur on the roads is all it takes for you to get in trouble. Was stopped when I was driving my mums camira back a few years ago (was on my p's) - wasnt speeding or doing any dodgey shit - but the cops stopped me and said "just a random breath test and check" or something like that. They did the whole test - checked the car, had a bit of a chat. So yeah, best not to risk it.

Dont have the money for that

This is all i wanted to know..

Just wanted to know what risk i was running them 2 days, its not like i do it all the time, only the once to get the car ready for the trip.

Cheers emsta for your reply.

Rest of yas chill, im not a f**kwit teen that wants to speed, drift on the public streets and all that, just had to get it done. wether or not you think the way i did it was wrong, it was all i could do under my circumstances.

All these guys are too mature here mait, i say keep driving just get some plates, the fine is pretty soft if u get cought, but get some plates i drove on my l's for ages. The fine is QLD is $130 im sure its pretty similar all around.

If you want to do it mait do it, its not a big deal but u r an idiot for not having plates lol.

The reason i didnt run my plates for the 2 days was because of all the comotion goin on about the drags, and the police cracking down on P platers, i didnt want to attract any attention to myself.

24 days i go for my P's anywai, shall be good.

any cop travels behind u long enough to run ur plates will figure out you dont have a license...much more riskier than you think. most of the time they come up with nothing (for the average car) so have no need to pull you over

i only had to travel 4km to RTA to get rego renewed after it ran out, and cops picked up that i was out of rego after about 20s of following me (luckily i was going to rta right then to get rego renewed, which is ok)...thats the first time ive been pulled over in years

seriously mate,

comparing driving without a licence to speeding and drifting on the street?

youre on your l's for cryin out loud.

surely your dad doesnt work 24/7 or you have some licenced mates that can sit in the passenger seat while you run around doin your thing.

Nah, we live outa town and all my mates live on the other side, near my mums house. I only live here with my dad and he works the same hours as the mechanics but no where near them.

OH sorry brom i though u ment registration plates lol my bad, nah dont put those plates on. THe only huge risk your taking is crashing the car into another car, beacuse no insurance will cover that, that was the biggest worry for me, apart from that go for it lol. Just remeber a car accident can be worth thousands and if you hit somebody on your l's then no lawyer in the world will save u.

    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
