Sitting your Full while disqualified.

[mynameis]

Ok renegade master I'll try and explain the process with examples as I went through the same situation when going from learners to restricted.

Say you get a ticket on 1st of May of $500 and 50 demerit points and your tally to date was 80, that would eventually put you up to 130 points and 3 months in the bin. We'll call this period "Block A"

You then have two lots of 28 days period to pay the fine unless you dispute it which would be from 1st of May to the 26th of June. "Block B"

Once the fine is paid to the police, LTSA's system gets updated (so does AA's) for demerit points and they send out a letter saying you now have 130 points. They then send an update to police who update their systems and send you a letter saying your licence is off now and someone comes around to collect it from you. Now this generally happens within a month of paying the fine, so from 26th of June to 26th of July. "Block C"

If you are in "Block A and B" it's perfectly fine to drive, ride and sit your test as you haven't been legally disqualified. But if you have reached "Block C" and are risking sitting your test or driving then you're pushing your luck big time. It does not take long for police and LTSA's system to link and update. You may have an old copy of your licence, but it's only wise to not risk it.

Other posts have already identified the risks involved if you do so and for record I got my restricted when I was in "Block B". And for those of you who have had full licence for 20 years saying what's the rush, there are definite advantages of having your full ASAP like, bigger bike, insurance policy, riding with pillion ect..

All the best hope that was useful, do let us know your outcome.

cool, thanks for that,


If I can get my hands on a 250 i'll do my test soon, if not i'll wait for it.

Turns out im selling my bike so there is no longer a rush to get my full.


Cheers for the info.
