Mattikin1 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hey everyone i'm on my p's and just last week i paid to renew my licence to go on my full as i'm meant to be getting off my p's on 5th of july. Last night i got flashed for speeding what i wanna know is will they back track it and will i still lose my licence as i am supposed to be after already getting another speeding fine before or do you think maybe they will take the points off my full licence as i have already paid for it and they are sending it in the mail. I know i'm stupid lol i'm just very curious to what will happen. If anyone knows and can help the would be great.

rh1n0 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 As I understand it, they only take the points away from you when the payment goes through for the fine. At least in normal situations, yours may be different - I don't know. Not sure of anything else really. Other than the fact that if you were +20km/h over you're stuffed.

KamikazeNinja34 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 That and they usually give you a couple months to cough up. Usually they wont take the points off till you pay - because if it wasnt you you set to send in a stat dec or something saying this person was driving at that time, book them. etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276350-need-help-with-renewal-of-licence-and-getting-caught-speeding/#findComment-4677993 Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher_ Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) From my understanding you will lose the points now... regardless of if you have paid for your full licence. You are still on your P's, so even if you pay it when you are on your full licence you admit it was you who was driving then. I was on 1 point for 12 months on my P's and it carried over into my full licence.

KamikazeNinja34 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hard ask. My dad took a point for me for doing 10 ks over - i thought it was 110 and it was actually a 100 zone...in my Pulsar.

R31Nismoid Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ring VicRoads - i would imagine you will loose it. The fine will be dated with the offense date. You loose the points immediately far as i understand it, however the fine doesn't go on your record until you actually pay the fine. I know there is a shortcoming between the Police and VicRoads systems and im 99% certain that's the order of how it works. But again - ring them.

KamikazeNinja34 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I don't get how the whole nominating a willing person to take it instead - or if indeed the car WAS driven by someone else - works then ash?

R31Nismoid Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 If you illegally nominate another driver - then the points are just sent across to that driver as per the fine as its re-issued. I have read stories in the news about how the points sometimes dont get sent across etc etc because the two systems dont 'talk' with each other. Doesn't surprise me but id imagine they are fairly one off type cases Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276350-need-help-with-renewal-of-licence-and-getting-caught-speeding/#findComment-4678280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taso84 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 They recently changes the system so the points come off straight away regardless of whether u've paid or not. Similar thing happened to my mate, he didnt lose his licence at the time, but 18 months later they must have done a check or something on his licence and he lost his licence for exceeding points on his P-plates (18 months into his full licence) Hopefully they dont check urs i guess Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276350-need-help-with-renewal-of-licence-and-getting-caught-speeding/#findComment-4678940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattikin1 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 ok yea i got my fingers crossed i also got my full licence in the mail last night just hoping for the best lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/276350-need-help-with-renewal-of-licence-and-getting-caught-speeding/#findComment-4680673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
W0rp3D Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 As of 6 months ago (when i got my last fine) the points dont come off till 3 or 4 months after the offence or you pay the fine, which ever comes first. Still looking into the back dating thing, i got a fine whilst on my 1 point probation for losing all my points, hasnt been signed over to me yet but i am off the probation, gotta figure out if i need to sign it over to some one else or just keep it.

Dude, aren't you normally the grammar nazi around this place? If it was a fixed camera, pay someone to take the points for you ($100 a point just say), as well as paying the fine yourself. 15km/h over isn't that much of a big deal. However if it wasn't fixed, I'd say you'd lose it since you don't get on your full license until the 5th of July reguardless of having paid or not.
