The offence is not displaying P plates correctly, it doesn't matter how you do or don't do it, or how many are up, it's an umbrella penalty for not displaying them correctly.

Hahaha just heard on the radio an ad saying "Bus lanes are for buses only, you can see them marked with the letters B U S".

don't think contesting would work as you said "No reason" when he asked you why, insinuating that you are just a prick trying to jump ahead. Then again with the auto license (First thing I did when I got my r34 - on the same day in fact - was drive straight to VICroads and do the manual test). ps bad luck

I think "no reason" would still count...as he didn't really admit he was doing anything wrong, simply turning into the lane early...

I'd contest it if it means losing your licence over it. If not, you might have to suck it up :down:

(First thing I did when I got my r34 - on the same day in fact - was drive straight to VICroads and do the manual test). ps bad luck

Agreed, go to VIC Roads and pay the $100 or what ever it is these days and get your manual license. It takes all of about 10 minutes in the car and 3 hours waiting at VIC Roads :down:

well got the fines in the mail today, two fines as stated driving in bus lane and driving a manual on a auto licence both $117

What's needed for me to get my conditions removed ? I hear there's a test or something.

mine was $51 for changing auto license to manual, and i (luckily) got to book a session 2 days after calling. had to drive an hour to get to the centre, but the one closest to me was booked out for 2 months. The way I see it, if you're going to drive a manual import on P's, sooner or later you'll get pulled over and you can either have them find nothing wrong with you and have nothing to pin you on, or get 3 fines and x demerit points for something you could have avoided by taking a 20 minute test. book test asap tbh.

what's involved is an unrealistic expectation of drivers to check their rear mirror every .5 seconds. stalling is a critical (you're allowed 2), the test car's setups are horrible and a lot harder than driving in something you are used to - if you can, use your own car - the pedals in the car I tested felt like pushing a 50kg cement block every time I changed gears. They also have a potential to use Camry's (which happen to be the harbingers of death), so I wouldn't recommend it.

ps. they might also ask you to do a hill start (hard, I know)

yeah and don't forget to stay to the left, even if the road is not marked for 2 lanes in one direction, if it's wide enough stay to the left, I lost 2 points or something for driving in the middle.

Use your own car, you are allowed but will need to have signage put on it saying "driver under instruction"

Hey at least you only got 2 fines and didn't get dicked for the P plate :P

nothing wrong with the Plates? they're both displayed. you can't see the green p in the back window from 3m away so that's why i put it at the plates they didn't say anything about it

with the amount of people they were pulling over i doubt they gave anyone a infringement notice, he was just writing it all down on a notepad.

Why do you think he was writing it in his notepad? So he could fill out an infringement notice and send it to you in the mail.

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
