WinKE55 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 The 5 years is very possible. A friend of mine had lots of trouble. He use to drink and drive too much, one time rolled this car, tryed to push the car back on it's wheels and then the cops showed so he tryed to run on foot with his mates. Ended up getting 4 years ban on driving. Becareful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 They treat drink driving alot worse than hooning. I was waiting to lose my licence but the previous owner of my t18 is going to cop the points and fines because he wont answer my calls or emails.

7shades Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 *ahem* In my salad days... accumulated 27 points in 6 months. Walked out of that courtroom with my licence intact, an extortionate fine, and a $2500 invoice from the lawyer. Mind you, my hefty list of infringements was limited to speeding and defects. No DUI, no dangerous driving, seatbelt, etc... Live and learn.... been squeaky clean ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 awhile ago i had only three points left to last me practically 3 years, that taught me how to drive like a proper granny - almost watched the speedo more than the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHATKE20S Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 A guy i knew years ago had lost his for 5 years, before he was old enough to get his Open licence Then got done repeatedly, at last count he had done 6 or 7 life (5yrs) bans that never ended........ because he would always get done before they finished Amongst those offences there were drink driving, police chase, dangerous driving (2or3 times), hit & run and leaving an accident. And he still didn't get jail until recently after getting done again just driving to work. One LUCKY sob thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiP Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Thankfully I've only ever had one fine and who thought you could lose 3 points for going through a yellow traffic light. At what point is that one traffic light legal and illegal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
