What happens if you cop a suspended license on the spot, but it only takes effect after 28 days. Is the license 100% valid in those 28 days with no records or points against it until the conviction is recorded on the 28th day?

P-platers lose it on the spot and their car gets impounded... usually loss of licence happens when you pay the fine , but if you have a SPER account the transport dept will advise you of the start and end date of your suspension after it has been flagged at their head office... Dont ask me how i know this .. and i am in Queensland , so i'm unsure of where you got done... But yes you would be safe to drive AND be covered by insurance as per your previous discussion ... |

I had a VERY similar case, which i ended up contesting (going to court) and the police lost (seriously not sure how), the correct paperwork and the case was withdrawn. Means you can keep driving until your case is heard whch could be another couple of months. Hope it all pans out ok.

If cops wanna play like this.. this country might as well legislate that civilians have no cars with over 100kw or something crazy like that, or better still outlaw overtaking altogether. ![]() My concern with contesting it at all is I would need to make the trip down to hamilton for the trial. And i'll probably die of fatigue trailing a B-double at 90km/h on the way to that excuse of a ghost town/road/highway (hamilton ![]() Last edited by barra265t; 08-08-2010 at 07:08 PM. |

Were you doing the speed that they booked you for? If you were, then pay the fine and cop the penalty. If you think that they stretched the truth, fight it, but beware. The magistrates who work in the district don’t take to kindly to people who speed near their town. Quote:

There is one of the things that annoy me the most on all roads, two drag racing trucks taking up both lanes. We get it here all the time, two trucks struggling to do the speed limit trying to overtake each other, while they take 5 km to do it and the rest of the traffic is going insane behind them. Makes it worse when one truck gets past another, then he sees the next one and decides to take that one too, in another 5 km. That is on the open road. Then in the city you have three lanes each way at a set of lights, so you get 3 trucks trying to have a drag race so they line up across 3 lanes. These situations not only annoy me in my personal car, they are almost impossible to get past in an ambulance. There they are lined up across all lanes, never check their mirrors and can't hear a siren over the sound of a diesel engine and loud stereo. Why can't we have a roof mounted RPG?

If there still is a topic....
I would say that you have a letter telling you that you will have accumulated maximum demerit points, and as soon as the fine is finalised or paid, you will have 28 days before your license is suspended for either a 3 or 6 month period.

They have to have the case inbetween the incident and yur residence.
I was clocked at 126km/h in an 80km/h zone. Check the paperwork for an indesrepancies eg/ time/date/speed/name/speed capture device. You can also apply for the most recent calibration tests for the said device check out http://www.fightfines.info/word/Lett...t%20notice.doc and other info just google speeding infringements help |

You may be able to argue the car you were overtaking was accelerating as you attempted to safely overtake the said vehicle. Just an idea?

I do remember back when I was young ads on tv telling people to overtake as briskly as they can as it is safer to do so. I guess today it makes more sense to take so long to pass a truck etc that you end up having a head on ![]() Some common sense has to prevail surely. Yes you could stay behind the truck but as others have said who want to get covered with all the rocks & crap that either falls out of a truck or is thrown up by one or travel at 50 kph up hills when behind a heavy truck. |

It is an absolute ridiculous situation where vehicles overtaking must spend much longer than they need to on the wrong side of the road just so they don't exceed the speed limit. They say speed kills, but IMO having driven for over 35 years now, being on the wrong side of the road is far deadlier than momentarily going 20-25 kph over the limit and get back into the left lane quicker, to minimize the real dangers. Where's common sense these days? |

A mate of mine copped instant suspension but with the same 28 days grace as the OP describes, he was free to drive until that date. He was also unable to request a court appearance to apply for a work license until that date had passed and the suspension term had commenced. This was in QLD about 6 months ago.

In Victoria the only offences that carry an immediate license suspension are drink driving offences. The power for which comes from Section 51 of the Road Safety Act. http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/v...86125/s51.html
This allows the po-po to suspend your license prior to you attending court. Where a magistrate will either disqualify you from driving or suspend your license(disqual and suspend being two different things). What you have is a automatic suspension period applicable to the traffic infringement notice you have recieved. The suspension will only come into effect when the TIN is finalised by you, or a court. So either you pay it, and civic compliance will notify Vicroads to suspend your license - who will notify you by mail. Or you dont, and you take it to court. Either way, you can still drive at the moment. I wouldn't contest it unless you actually didnt do the offence..... do the crime, do the time. |
