Hiya I reside in the ACT for a majority of the time while holding a current nsw provisional p2 license Im not allowed to drive my XR8 in nsw as I would face having my car impounded and issued with very hefty fines however when I rang and asked ACT policing they said even if my license restrictions are Australia wide they cant stop me from driving a V8 as ACT p platers are allowed to drive any type of vehicle so no penalties even exist that they could issue me. I understand the insurance implication fyi
Does this sound right? Or did this officer just say what he thought was true? |

Thing is I need proof of address in the ACT but because of my work I move around the Canberra a lot and out of state (I leave my car at a relatives house) and drive my other car when out of state I found when I tried to change my license over to the ACT they made it extremely hard for me and refused Foxtel bills and general letters addressed to me, they wanted a letter from a Federal government department addressed to me residing in a permanent address in the ACT

I see on the RMS site for NSW if you have no documents to prove your address they have a form letter that can be signed by your employer showing your residential address, maybe the ACT has something similar.
EDIT: This is a link to the ACT’s requirement for a driver’s licence when moving from another state. Scroll down to Proof of Residency and it says a Pay Television account is accepted. http://www.rego.act.gov.au/__data/as...s-23102015.pdf . Last edited by Express; 01-11-2015 at 08:12 PM. |

A couple of other ways to get Federal letters assuming you actually have somewhere to stay in ACT:
- Call up and get a new medicare card - Enrol to vote And then to pad things out: - Call your bank, notify them of address, and tell them you need your most recent statement mailed - Call your pay office, notify them of address, and ask them for a pay slip to be mailed Surely that would be enough to make them happy? |
