Full License

[CSNet]

Hey guys,

Just got my license renewed to get off my P's. I have another 10 days before my P's expire, however the guy never gave me back my actual P plate license... was he meant to? He said make sure you put up your P's til then etc, but I didn't even notice he didn't return it until I walked out of there...

Should he have given them back? Does it matter if I am pulled over in the mean time? (assuming my Ps are shown)

id assume you would need it to technically drive right? should ring them to clariffy.

You cant carry two versions of your license, only one - the valid one.

Hence they keep the card or hole punch etc etc.

It'll be fine to use, systems will reflect what they've told ya.

Wrong, When i got my full licence i still had 2 weeks on my p's. They gave me my full licence and gave me back my p's licence and said to hold on to it untill its expirey date.

No im not

Like i said, the VALID ONE, keyword. Two versions are not valid at one time. Only one is.

Carrying an invalid license (no matter what it is) wont work.

You could have shown your full license to em, wouldn't mean a thing as its not recorded etc.

If the VicRoads dude has put the new one in and updated it accordingly... then off you go

my opinion, at worst the cop might get a little confused, but just explain what happened, he can check the records and all should be sweet.

They can't give you 2 licenses.. as stated above.

Sorry misunderstood your post

They gave me my p's back with my full licence as well. I'm pretty sure as soon as you go down and are issued with your full licence, that is the one you use. Either way its still the same licence number.

I'd say play it safe and leave your "P"s up... ...If it's a case where you are still on your "P"s and you've been given your full license... ...I know of someone that got pulled over while he had "L"s up because he was teaching his son to drive and had just dropped him off to work...

Once cops realised he was on his full license all was good... ...No harm in having them up and being on your full license... ...If you get pulled over you could just say you put them up out of habit...

cops dont = end of the world, they know everything they have...
