License Enquiry

Harrrooowwww

Ive got a quick question for you guys

as many know, ive lost my license twice and have it back now obviously however im a little confused on this part of it because there seems to be something contradictory...

i obtained my license shortly after my birthday, ended up losing it towards the end of the year, went on a 1 point demerit program and lost it again for 6 months and got it back towards the middle of this year.

Question i have is, on my license it states that my P1 ends on 7/1/2012 however my license expires on 8/6/2014

Does that mean I will go onto a full license after this date because i know according to everyone on greens, you need to hold it for 3 years. but im in a wierd situation were ive lost my license a number of times and its filled up that period.

it states on the vicroads website that i have to hold my green p's for a minimum of 3 years however my license dates contradict that. Could there be a chance this might be a loop hole or just a mistake?

cheers guys

As far as the RMS is concerned, you have only been on your P2's during the time you held them.
The time spent without a license does not count.

After your have completed 3 years of P2's (again, time spent actually holding the license) you will move onto a full license.

I'd say you need to hold it for 3 VALID years, so discount the time you were suspended....

Im not sure, but in NSW the period of time your license is suspended does not count towards the required time have to hold your license. You will simply have to renew your greens when they expire. I think thats what youre asking lol

Thats what i had a feeling it would be, but i wasnt sure since my actual license was telling me something different. however this is the updated license i recieved when i got my license back from the 6 month suspension...

chances are i still have to sit on greens for 3 years however i was confused as hell when i took a look at my license...

I could be wrong but I think the dates still remain the same wheather or not you have lost your license or not. Best thing would be to give Vic Roads a call and explain your situation and ask them about the dates etc.

just reading on vic roads it says that licenses must be renewed when the license expires. however my license was renewed when i got it back from the 6 month suspension because they had to update my P1 probatioary period. hence it ending on 7/1/2013.

technically, when i first got my Ps when i was 18, shouldnt the license i got issued then not have expired till i was onto my full license? ie 4 years ( on p1 for 1 year, 3 years on p2 )

my friend has held his license and not lost it however his license has a similar expiry date to mine (as he got it at a similar age/time as me) and his has not been renewed
