loss of license

[Guest top_secret]

hi ,

does anyone know what happens when you go over your demerit points . What is the process to suspend your license and most importantly how do you appeal to get a temporary license to get to work and stuff ?

Any info on the web ?

thanks!

Its automatic. You will get the 3 month suspension as usual or you can elect to live off 1 point for a year. if that 3 month is going to cause you hardship then I suggest you elect the 1 point and drive safely. If you lose that 1 point you will be suspended for 6 months. I sugged you not to drive while on your suspension because if you get caught it will be one year and court fees.

If you had say 1 point left on your license and you were speeding alot and you los say 6 points your suspension will be muchlonger like 6 months or something.

Too Right. Couldnt Agree more with that. I was on the 1 point system for 1 year. I got a speed camera offence, but my mum took it. So that was cool...

So after you have your license suspended for 3 months due to no points, you get all 12 back ?????

I've got 3 left now. I'm scared.

2 years remaining till i get 3 points back!

i lived on 1 point for 3 years u babies

2 of which with the 'line.

also if u say have 2 points left get done for 4 points when u get your licence back in 3 months u only have 10 points to play with.

yeah you're right. You get your 12 points back, but you acutally lose the excess in points striaght away that you owed them when you went over your 12 the first time round.....

Living on 1 point is pretty easy, just dont speed or do anything stupid and you should be fine, we all know how tempting it is from time to time to drag the ***** out of the car next to you, but when you got no points to burn, then its just not worth it say!

i dunno.. i have no pts left to loose, next thing wrong, and by by liscence, i have like.. 10 months to go till next liscence stage.. so basically the only time i speed, is on local roads where i know cops aint, and also when i see no headlights( for same area).. that way i know nobody sees and basically it would be a very very unlucky thing for me to get caught...

on the racing topic, make up an excuse, coz like, i have a rb20 na.. im the king of making up excuses not to race.. egs

*ive been booked for street racing twice this month, one more and they will confiscate my car

* i have practically no petrol

*i have no points left on liscence

*the car hasnt been serviced or tuned in ages, its due for one tomorow...

*one i like, is dont make eye contact, and play with stereo, or look at watch, or pretend to be on the phone...

Boxhead sorry i have no sympathy for you

by the sounds of it you brought it on yourself, and and have to change your driving habits or lose the license until that happens from what you've said i would not drive with you or in a cruise in which your driving you just sound to dangerous.

i got down to 1 point as mentioned before and thats when i made a decision to change i needed my car for work, and work to keep my car. it was also costing me a fortune. I changed its easy, realised its theres a time and a place for everything and public roads generally isn't the place.

[skyzerr33]

basically i'm trying to say take alook at yourself and change whats wrong with your driving or your family will likely get a call from the cops reporting your death.

It's very easy to drive a whole year and not lose a point. Just don't drive like a tool. :uh-huh:
