In Vict - yes, as it is all one licence, not sure about NSW.

Had licence for nearly 3 years, no accidents, two speeding tickets in the space of 2 minutes by fixed cameras (one causing 3 months suspension on its own, combination causing 3 month suspension because of points - although I'm going to appeal the second suspension) I consider my self a good driver (yes, I am a P plater) and the only reason for the fines is that I was driving home after a long shift as a volunteer with the emergency services and wasn't paying attention and just driving at sensible speed, but not legal speed. (yes, I believe there is a difference)

Lots of parking tickets... I work in Sydney City where you have to buy a new ticket every 2 hours and the brown bombers are in abundance.

I would average my driving at almost 100,000kms in that time (lots of country commuting and including a return Nullabor crossing to Perth.)

TZENU · 31-01-2008, 02:26 PM

Driving for 7 years
Approx 150,000
1 accident not at fault
2 Speeding tickets - 1) In the domain tunnel when i first got my licence. my car sounded so coool in there!!! And 2nd one was on a street fords cruise on geelong rd

Not 1 parking ticket! Not bad for someone who worked in the city for 2 years.. Well thats my highlight of my driving career...

irlewy86 · 31-01-2008, 02:33 PM

Quasi · 31-01-2008, 05:23 PM

Licensed since around 1980.

No own fault accidents.

2 speeding fines.

No DUI.

As I was a taxi driver for nearly 10 years, and drove a meat truck doing deliveries all day for 6 days a week for 18 months you guess the Kilometres.

**DJM83** · 31-01-2008, 05:34 PM

Licensed in 2000
1 at fault backed into someone ever so slightly due to fogged up rear window.
Lost license for 6 months $1500 fine for 114kmh in a 60 zone.
Ohter then that nothing, always afraid to speed after my first indiscretion. I admit was young and dumb

: . Trust me i paid plenty for car insurance for the 3 years following that

XHUTE6 · 31-01-2008, 06:54 PM

I've been driving for 5 years, lost my license once for running a red light.(Instant loss for disobeying traffic signal). 1 at fault accident, backed into a car in a rigid in a small street. stupid foreigner.. 3 fines, red light, speeding and recently a log book fine in FNQ.
Well, i travelled 36,000 in my TX5, 70,000 so far in my XH, 20,000 as a courier, 166,800 in Rigids and 96,000kms doing interstate in Semis so far.
So that's approximately 388,800kms roughly travelled in total.
WOW, i've never sat down and worked out roughly how far i've travelled!!

Very unimpressive...
You sound so proud of it too.....

yift · 01-02-2008, 11:19 PM

not proud of it whatsoever. i am actually appauled by it. if it wasnt for this thread i wouldnt have even thought about it. i had a clean record for 3 years until the next paragraph.

thanks to this thread i probably jinxed myself nicely too!
that fine and suspension i got let off for, well the boys in blue sent me a new fine for it which is $7 dearer and i still lose my licence.
oh well as the old saying goes do the crime pay the time.

smee323 · 01-02-2008, 11:56 PM

Got licence in 1982
Got done for 130 in a 60 zone as amphometer went no higher. Paid $400 fine in mid 85.
My fortnightly wage was $150, or close to it. Still have summons to court somewhere as a reminder
Been clean ever since, but use motorsport as an outlet.

Pretty hard to convince yourself that anything above 150 on a public road is anything but dumb........

98elxr6 · 02-02-2008, 12:27 AM
