Losing Your License

[shotter]

I was just wondering in the ACT if you can lose your license for speeding or street racing for a single offense?

And at what point are police allowed to impound your car?

I know that other states have very tough laws i was just wondering what the ACT was like?

You could probably lose your license here for owning a Skyline, and they'll impound it just because of the colour.

lol

On a serious note, nfi. It's early. My brain hurts (it's still starting up at this hour)

Seems like the rules/legislation is changing fairly quickly

Some information about traffic infringements can be found here: http://www.rego.act.gov.au/infringements/infringedemerit.htm

Another place to check out is TAMS and Legislation ACT about rules, laws and policy: http://www.tams.act.gov.au and http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/

I "think" the new hoon law gives police the right to take your car if they think your a hoon. Generally things like really excessive speed, burnout, street racing will give the police an excuse to take your car.

My advice is to be polite and don't admit to anything unless they have evidence.

^^ agreed!

They have an attitude test - if you give them ANY attitude when they first approach your window they will bust your balls for everything.
