Driving out of class? not sure what the penalty is but one of my mates got done for driving out of class when riding a big bike on his small bike license, didn't get kaned so I don't think it was that huge a fine/penalty.. or I could be completely wrong!

I've heard of different fines from different people, ranging from being let off, to copping a fine close enough to driving without a license.

Tell your mate to get his manual license, problem solved.

I had my auto and needed my manual for work, assessor told me I suck at manual, couldnt shift for shit and counted how many times I stalled, he told me I could have it because he knew I'd get practice driving for work.

Dont tell me your auto only ten four :)

Devoooo.

Id run with driving out of class.

Same as when your ride a motorbike when you only have a car liscense.

You are liscensed to be on the road just not for that particular class of vehicle.

Skyryan, I love your picture, keep watching him thinking he's going to attack my monitor and steal my cold and flu tabs...

"Manual" Enough said :)

Sure that Mr Keets is right, 2 points. My brother got stung for it a few years ago. Not sure if the rules would have changed since then.

I wouldnt drive a car out of class unless it was just a one off time. The penalty might not be that big but remember you would have no insurance at all in the case that you crashed (which would be pretty likely if it was your daily)

Guy at work said his mate bought an auto Skyline cos he only had an auto license, then converted to it to manual before he got his auto license. Now, whenever he gets pulled over, he puts an "auto-look-alike" cover over his gear knob so they think it's auto. Worth a shot.

Not if you get into a smash, hit a pedestrian etc.

CTP Insurance is void, and if youve ever spoken to a personal injury lawyer youll find yourself facing a LARGE bill.

+1 on this.

It's all sweet and dandy until you hurt someone, the DPI throws the ball back to you and whoever you injured gets to take your ass to court for as much money as they see fit.
