A few weeks ago I got my Licence Renewal and about a week after that I logged into my internet banking and paid it... ...Come to Monday just gone and I get pulled over for what I believe was not giving way to a police car who was doing a U-turn in front of me where I was coming out of a side street and doing a left turn... ...As far as I know I have the right of way in that situation... ...He didn't have his lights on and had to slam his breaks on to avoid hitting me... ...Crises everted and I drive on... ...About 300m down the road his lights come on and I have to drive a bit of a way to get past some parked cars and a bus and he hits the noise too...

Now I think this was my one and only mistake here because when he asked me if I knew why he stopped me I said, "Because you failed to give way while doing a U-turn and have stopped me to apologise to me?"...

He didn't say anything and just asked for my licence... ...I gave it to him and he pointed to the date... ...which was about 7 days past it's expiry... ...So I pull out the renewal form which I wrote down the Bpay code on but forgot to put down the date I paid it... ...And he said that it isn't acceptable and when back to his car for a bit and then told me that I don't have a licence... ...And so today I get the Infringement Notice in the mail...

Now my question is... ...Has anyone ever had trouble with Bpay and VicRoads, or the Police, when it comes to Licence Renewal???...

Mate this tpye of thing happens quite often generally with registrations that are paid on expiriy date. I pull over lots of cars that come up unregistered and they have paid rego by b-pay and obviously vic roads have not processed it. I would also issue fine in that and this case and I just explain to send in copy of renewal, b-pay receipt details to civic compliance on stat dec and fine will be withdrawn.

That way I am covered because records show unreg/unlic and as long as rego/lic paid then easy enough for fine to get withdrawn.

just take it up with vicroads mate. get in contact with them or just go down there and tell them what has happened. i'm pretty sure they should work it out and then you or they could fix up the thing with the infringement. i just paid for my full license through bpay and it went through all good.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
