Coming off a 3 month licence suspension

**kiwifruit** · 14th May 2007, 11:49

Today is the final day of my three month licence suspension. Yay.
I'm thinking of having the bike all warmed up and setting of for a ride at 12:01 tonight, which is tomorrow (right?).....

How will mr plod see this should he pull me over?

I obviously won't have a licence on me, so i'll get a fine of $50 or whatever for that....
But, would i still be seen as suspended in the eyes of the law?

what do you think?
what about from an insurance point of view?
am i taking the wording to literally?
will the removal of the suspension not be processed until business hours tomorrow?
am i feeling lucky?

Well - are you punk?!?

I think you should go and do a celebratory wheelie or comemmoratory breaking of the speedlimit.

Go on - you know you want to...

If that's your date, I guess that's your date. I'd wait till I got my lience in the mail, or until I know it's comming.

*waits for my 6 month suspension to come*

i won't be breaking the speed limit again, i've learnt that leason! I've had the bike restricted to 62mph

Indy, i would wait, but the lady from the ltsa said it will be around 21 days before my licence comes....
i will be down to the AA tomorrow to get a temp job (which the lady from the ltsa said the AA couldn't do *cough* bullshit *cough*)

Yea, like I said, if you know it's comming, then just ride without a licence.

You don't need to wait till you get your licence back mate, as of 1201 tonight your suspension ends and you're free to ride. Just carry that suspension notice on you (if you haven't already used it to wipe your arse with).

Whatsortacrapisthat?!?
Surely the LTSANZS (or whatever they call themselves) should make sure you get your licence back by the time your suspension ends, so you don't end up riding/driving without one. Or are you supposed to ride/drive for 21 days without one and risk a $55 fine each time?

when the came to collect mine...sorry i don't know where it is...i actually ddnt at the time...she said well if u find it send it in... but it doesn't really matter.

ive found it...ive hung onto it or pubs etc for identification purposes.

worthless to me for driving though.

Mine took 4 days and I had a spare licence anyway so would have been okay if stopped.........just happened that LTSA sent me a second licence years ago so kept both, one for car and 1 for bike.

Yep, its called tax collecting.

You'd get off it in court (maybe) but I bet they go on the idea that no one will go to court for 55 bucks as court costs are 130$.
