thats the dumbest comment lol i don't see anywhere in the thread where someone says DAMMIT I WAS THINKING OF BREAKING THE LAW AND DRIVING A MANUAL BUT I DUNNO I JUST SAW THE FINE AND POINTS IAM THINKING I SHOULD RECONSIDER

[magicmike]

i got done over for this a few weeks ago

fine was only $238 and i lost no points ?

[aimre]

Its for driving turbos or V8's

Nothing elses.

Its like, due to the laws the crime isnt bad enough to take ur licence away, so instead, they make the points u loose so high that u loose your licence n e way

[xntrik]

lol 7 points is ridiculous.

its worst than speeding.

[JaCe]

prohibited = the vehicles on the prohibited list.

there's a seperate condition on ur license which says must drive automatic vehicles... which isn't on my green p's anyway.

[xtercii]

if you on DD, 14pts,,,, any licence will lose!

no you don't, dd only applies to speeding and seat belt, nothing else.

[xntrik]

no you don't, dd only applies to speeding and seat belt, nothing else.

and idiots. :thumbsup:

[diffuzn]

throw ur jumper over the gearstick if u get pulled over

[mattchuej8]

haha love the avatar diffuzn.
and smart idea, but if they ask and they find out i was hiding it.
i could be worse off :P

[diffuzn]

haha cheers! hey u know what! simpile DIY will fix it. change ur gearstick to one of those automatic Tbars haha!

[aaronng]

no you don't, dd only applies to speeding and seat belt, nothing else.

But, if you run the redlight during a DD long weekend, you lose 4 points instead of just 3. So the others won't be doubled, but you'll still get hit by extra points.

hahha. i thought about it. :P

[ucme]

i got done a while ago. no demerits but $114 fine. i payed it and got my manual license.

just a tip guys. dont lift your knee up to hide the shifter. worked a couple of times. then finally one officer asked me to drop the leg.

just get the manual license and enjoy

[Rasputin]

Double demerits only relates to speeding and seatbelt offences. Are you sure you arent looking for this?
Fail to comply with licence conditions - $185, 2 demerit points.

The other charge is for turbo/modified vehicles while on restricted licence, i think.
