Statute of limitations regarding 3 month license suspension?

[Akzle]

I am not sure if any of you know what you are talking about, but it's all good.

you sir, have just clocked the internets.

[Mike.Gayner]

Thanks for all the replies. I am not sure if any of you know what you are talking about, but it's all good. Classic too that some of you seem to add 2 plus 2 and get 68 when it comes to the details as in hypothetical.
Go the all blacks!

What a cock.

People tend not to ask about license suspensions unless they're facing one.

Well, I mentioned that I didn't, but having read the thread you should have realised that at least one respndent does indeed know that of which he writes .
The words, "I work in that field," might generally be considered a good indication.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do when you leave school.

[swbarnett]

Reading between the lines, don't do shit that carries demerits.

Or just don't get caught.

Yeah, this I like.

A Citizens Advice Bureau web site on the subject.

1. Demerit suspension
If you collect 100 or more demerit points over a two-year period, you will be suspended from driving for three months. The suspension period starts as soon as you receive the demerit suspension notice from the NZTA, the Police or an NZTA authorised agent.

2. Roadside licence suspension
If you are caught committing a serious driving offence which puts lives at risk, the Police can give you a 28-day roadside licence suspension. This means that the Police will take your drivers licence from you on the spot, and you cannot drive for 28 days. You might have to pay for your car to be removed from the roadside, as you won't be allowed to drive it home.

Interesting reading ..

Disqualifications and suspensions

If your licence has been suspended or you’ve been disqualified from driving by the courts, you’re not entitled to hold your licence and must surrender it to the court, the police, the Transport Agency or an authorised agent of the Transport Agency. If you’re caught driving while disqualified or suspended, the vehicle you’re driving will be seized and impounded for 28 days. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your vehicle or not.

At the end of your suspension or disqualification, you’ll be unlicensed and not entitled to drive until you have reinstated your licence. See the Reinstating your licence section for more information.

Reinstating your licence

At the end of a disqualification or suspension (other than 28-day roadside suspensions) or when your zero alcohol licence expires you will be unlicensed and are not entitled to drive until you have applied at a driver licensing agent to have your licence reinstated and a new licence has been issued. Any licence card held by you at the time of your suspension or disqualification will have been permanently cancelled.

So they've effectively lengthened all suspensions by stealth.

I have been told that a temporary license is issued until your "New" license card arrives in the mail. Any "effective" lengthening would be more due to the respective persons own lack of effort to renew it.

Remember ... if you haven't renewed your License after the suspension period has ended ... and ... If you’re caught driving while disqualified or suspended, the vehicle you’re driving will be seized and impounded for 28 days. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your vehicle or not.

Good incentive to renew your license .. is it not .. ??

Not really. Walk into a centre on the day you're allowed to drive, eye sight blah blah, get the paper licence and the photo one is sent in the mail.

Don't forget some freaken photo ID, and since you don't have your driver's licence, you need to supply something else

[FJRider]

Yeah, this I like.

You drive so as to not draw attention to yourself ... either by your driving style ... or the vehicle you're driving.

Doing both is bound to attract unwanted scrutiny.

I stand corrected (or rather I sit corrected). I had been told that you'd need to resit. Maybe that was only a proposal.

Lose your drivers license for MORE than 12 months (ie:12 months and one day) and you resit your License FROM SCRATCH. This DOES include learners/restricted etc ...

What the FJ fella said, and that's a change, been in the last few years? Heard of a few 12 months 1 day handed out. Reckon you'll see more either with no licence or breaching conditions... Will people value their licences more? Doubt that "group" will think that way... Kinda like Dog licencing.

Usually the way I like to roll.
