For Provisional License Or Fulls, Question/ Topic I Want To Ask.

[White5tar]

Straight to the point, Was anyone ever caught driving a manual on an automatic license what kind off fine did you get and if you got away what kind of excuse did you cook up to get away with it haha?

I reckon, in NSW at least, you'd have to be seriously unlucky to get picked up on that.

This forum says a few points and a fine.

I couldnt find anything official.

Its like a $70 fine, i been caught when i was a teen.
Just be careful it voids your insurance =\
You'll get away with it 99% of the time.
Just say its your mates car and yours is in an accident OR
They made a mistake in putting automatic on your license and you need to go back and adjust it

Yep got caught multiple times for that, in fact at one point I had to change how I got to work cause a cop would sit in the street and wait for me to drive past

NSW licences don't denote manual or auto do they? Or is it in their database?

Unless rules have changed past few months.

Red P's have it written at the back.

Green P's are unrestricted. Can drive either regardless of transmission of test car.

Ahh fair enough... I forgot the P's reference... I just know in QLD my wife had only Auto licence (Full), but when transferred to NSW there's no mention of that anymore

this is my understanding of how it works currently as well, they didn't have green Ps when I got my licence and were only restricted to auto for your Ps (if you got your licence in an auto)

When I was a young whippersnapper, you could...
