Hmmm, you probably did something naughty as you havnt tried to defend what happened. =P but if your life depends on it (dont flame me) I would personally just keep driving but under a different car or number plates as if High way patrol pop your rego in their computer they will see your suspended. Normal police cars wont bother unless they are assigned to high way patrol as they carry out 'real' police work.

Get an address in another state, say NSW (if you have family etc over the border) and go get a license in that state and drive on it until you get your vic license back....

That is about the only way around the situation that I can think of. (assuming that another state's system cannot tell that your license was suspended).

I enquired about this, last week. Even if you have a NSW licence which is valid, you are still suspended from driving on VIC ROADS.

How would they cross reference this? If it is a new NSW license and you denied having a VIC license.

Depends on your luck really, they might look at your license and say have a good evening, however if for whatever reason they type in your name into the VIC database and see your suspended, hello courtcase.

I mean im just quoting vicroads here, hopefully im wrong?

That is a really stupid thing to do. Firstly no insurance cover and if you do get caught the penalty is much greater not to mention if you do this a second time you can go to jail.

haha RE: the NSW licence thing, the opposite applied for my sister's bf when he got done drink driving in NSW on a Vic licence. He actually got a letter in the mail after his court appearance which stated he wasn't allowed to drive in NSW. Strangely enough this didn't carry over to Victoria as well. The joys of living in a border region :thumbsup:

Ok, quit your job, sell your car/tools and sit out the 6 months surviving on baked beans. Im saying if your life depended on driving for your job and to pay your bills/rent unless you find a quick alternative your more than f**ked. Just dont drive like a loon and avoid the whole "the sky is falling you have no insurance"

Never assume, it leads to assumptions.

Im only doing the 3 month suspension coz vicroads f**ked me over with their mis-typed options notice. As a result of THEIR mistake I am in the situation im in now and nothing can be done as the suspension is already locked in. arguing it and going to court would be a waste of time and money.

I was only asking coz I had heard of something similar some time ago.

Thanks.

the law's f**k, i just got reemed 4 points and $450buck fine because the cop said i was doing 75 in a 50zone, and i was also tale gating......

wats even more funny is that she didnt have a radar gun on me and THEN admitted it was accurate guess on her part.

wats the point in having a system were if u fight the fine by going to court, u ending losing more money than ur original fine

technically it'd only cost $80 max to challenge that fine in court. IF you were in the right. In most cases you can have the state accept that cost too if you win.

You're not in the right though, so I highly doubt that'd be the case.

did u speak to legal aid?

i did, IF i lose i have to pay court fee's, police fee's and lawyer fee's.

there's so many things i need to go through, such as interigate the copper in question on how she estimated my speed, then cross referencing her answer and all other junk thats just not worth it.

also how can u be speed and tailgating someone whos doing the limit?

Police are recognised estimators of speed.

You could have played it smart and taken it to court and admitted doing 64-65 instead of 75. Been there, done that (apparently i was doing 140 in a 80, was pegged back to under 100). I went through it. Gathered my evidence, had my lawyer present it all etc.

So based on the estimate in your case it would have been knocked back to 15km/h which i do believe it less than 25 over.

Either way mate I doubt you were doing 50km/h, and so would the court unless you had some amazing eye witness accounts.

Of which I'd imagine the Police would have witnesses which again puts you further behind the 8-ball.

It makes sense you lose more money if you challenge an offence (Shan did say IF YOU ARE RIGHT) - otherwise every single idiot who thinks they are not in the wrong/not at fault/think they can lie would tie the court system up more than it already is.

Its a good deterrent and they should increase the fines if you lose and make an ass of yourself :P

You could try to drive on other state license and if lucky get away with it but If you are checked and they check your name then it will show that you have a Victorian driver's license and are suspended.

I have caught male doing similar thing who was suspended here on Vic license so he went back to Malaysia and got his License over there to cover the time while he was suspended here. Big FAIL!!! Nice try though.

Question when u punch someones rego in does it tell you if the driver (owner) is a P plate license holder?

Simply because you can't lose it for one offence.

You need at least two as a P plater in, or 5 as a full license holder

you can do it in one if your trying :P

R-SPEC, dont mean to pry into your personal life, but what do you do for work? how much of the day do you spend driving? do you run your own business? 3 months isnt too long, it may be financially viable to get a driver of some sort. do you have an employee/employer that you work with all the time? maybe offer a financial incentive for them to take over the driving roll.

or very quickly find another job that you can get to, even if its shit, just to hold you up for 3 months, then go back to/find another job in your field.

i'm not going to suggest driving as its illegal, immoral and you are the work of the devil if you do it, but just out of curiosity, is your work car registered in your name? how often do you get pulled over while driving it?

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
