I've Lost My License!!!!!!!!!!

[Scooby]

Andrew the problem is that you probably got crap advice that there was a way of getting around the los of points. Gee, wouldn't that be novel from a Govt agency!

Seems like they are saying that once you lost the points there should have been a suspension there and then and you probably shouldn't have been able to do the P off course.

But something doesn't quite make sense. Why would they take so long to suspend you licence??????

I'd encourage you to pursue this and get all of the facts. Sometimes they screw up - might not have a record of your P off course etc.

Best of luck

yep no joke, i got a letter yesterday saying my license is being supended from the 3rd of March due to a fine i got nearly 2 years ago!!!!! i lost 4 points for speeding in my lancer then did the "P Off" course and gained an extra 4 points so i wouldnt lose it, i actually called the dickson office to find out if there was anything i could do at the time and they told me to do this course!!! they have now said that the loophole has closed and are issuing me with the suspension due to the fine incured in May 2003, i am so calm at the moment because i simply cant beleive that this is happening, but i also simply cant beleive the government thinks they can do this to me and get away with it! esp when im starting a career launching job in a month!!!! the girl i talked to from dickson just a few minutes ago basically said theres nothing i can do and tough sh*t, so i told her i'll be taking it to court and theres no way they'll be getting away with this!!!!

IM SO FU**ING ANGRY!!! AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

[Jonneh Bravo]

ouch bro so sorry to hear it. i feel ya pain though i have lost it twice both 6 months. wasnt good but i still drove. i had to or else i would have lost my job. ask them to give u an option of driving for 1 year with 1 point they might accept it

[Veilside R33]

fu** that!!! fact is i did the course i had to do at the time, got my points back and paid the fine and was allowed to keep my lisence, and they are now saying they are taking off me because they have decided to change a law? good luck! i'm 19, been driving a modded turbo skyline for a year now and hav'nt gotten 1 fine, i should be getting a f**ing medal for fu**s sake~!

[Jonneh Bravo]

they are the law dude u cant fight it with them they always win. i have no suggestion fight it and see where it takes u bro. if u need a hand let us know

[Sinista32]

One worth fighting Andrew. There appears no justice for the injustice they're attempting. You did the right thing at the right time and NOW they wish to penalise further. That's Bullsh!t.

Stick to your Guns and you will be victorious. Any chance you know a Lawyer or freind of one?

[race_snooze]

The gov is a load of crap, lets over power them and run it all our selves. Any way back on subject thats shit Andrew fight the pricks for sure

[Zebbie]

Deffo fight for this one.

You took their option in good faith, you got your points back, you paid the fine, and THEY changed their minds *after the fact*

The fact that they took the points off, to me says that they accepted that you did the course, which worked, as you have not received any further points/fines......

How can they do it rectroactivley?

[Veilside R33]

yeah i know this one lawyer richard i guess you might call him my......... brother lol, so legal fees wont be an issure for me! i know the gov has done some nasty sh*t lately but this has just gone way to far!!! funny coincidence though that i get my full license just days before the suspension ends huh?

[SkyGTRline]

Damn.... tahts no good Andy.

I get my licence back tomorrow... YAY!!!! sorry to rub it in..

Fight it, they cant do that to you 2 yrs later..

If this is all true, then heaps of people are gonna loose there licence now.... Sounds STUPID to me....

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

[PhantomS14]

Yeah I don't think they can do that. Your case would have been closed almost two years ago. They cannot just reopen it and expect you to comply. There will be some sort of tribunal you should be able to go to and get this removed.

[r33skylinegtst]

absolute bull. You did the right thing at the time, they shouldn't punish you for it now. And if you did exploit a loop-hole, it should be their fault for not controlling it in the first place. Good luck mate, i hope it works out.

[tridentt150v]

You should loose your licence, should have lost it a long time ago, should be locked up....................for wearing muscle shirts and dressing in the colour pink...................... :jk: :kick:

But I reckon they are totally f@#*ed up trying to invoke something that happened before Saddam was in gaol. Fight 'em mate, go to it. I reckon a judge would laugh at 'em, you'd win easy.

[skyline_babe5]

fight for it andy! good luck hun!!!

[GM_GTR]

that bloody sucks man, it was their stupid mistake... I'd be pissed too..did you have to pay for the p off course?

[Veilside R33]

yeah the p off course cost me $66 and took the better part of one of my sundays, thing is pretty much everyone in the room (about 20 of us) was doing the course for the same reason i was to gain points after a loss, im still just in disbeleif over the whole thing!

[GM_GTR]

so basically the course was a big waste of time......I'd be asking for my money back

[MIVEC]

Surely if they say that they can retroactively suspend your license..........then you can reply with "well I've retroactively served my suspended license term!"

[choochoobaa]

karmas a bitch huh

[Stevie]

Hey bro, I got stung with a neg driving charge for failing to signal a couple of years back. Fought it and fought it and called all there blufs and got it downgraded to a fail to signal fine!

Truth is they dont know what they are doing 99% of the time! You will win if you fight!
