i've looked on the vicroads site, but cannot see anything related to penalties for not driving to your license conditions?
what is penalty for driving a manual car on an auto license? - points or a fine or both? |

IF YOUR GOING TO BE A NUMBCHOP AND CONVERT YOUR PERFCTALLY GOOD AUTO TO A MANUAL ... SPEND THE 66$ AND REDO YOUR TEST AND GET A MANUAL LICENCE :evil_laug
*hugs triptonic*

thats just so retarded its outrageous.
You forgot to add taht his car will get impounded and hell be thrown in jail. Stuff paying more money to Vicroads they scam enough as it is. The reality is youll have to be extremely unlucky to get picked up on it in the first place, how many times do you even get pulled over??? I KNOW people whove got done for it and they got warned, the worst you will get is "unlicenced driving" which is a small fine no points. NOTE* Its different from driving with a suspended licence! Just wait it out for your fulls. |

The thing most people wouldnt think of is if you have an accident, your insurance company will laugh in your face, rip up the claim form and wish you luck.
It's not even so bad if you bend your own car, i feel for the other party who'd have to go through the nightmare of being hit by someone with no insurance and no means of paying for the damage to the 500 - $250,000 worth of car you damaged. Hypothetical situation, but the ramifications extend well past just a fine or points. |

i understand why you wouldn't want to take the driving test again... it was absolute hell. But what are the insurance implications if you crash a manual car which you aren't licenced to drive?

um....just go do the test again...if your that bad a driver that you couldn't walk in and do the test then you shoulhdn't be on the road like many other drivers who are taught to paass the test and not taught to drive. For all of our sakes learn to drive a manual...ie get some lessons if you are concerned about not being able to drive the test. once you have driven the thest and passed go and do a defensive driver course!!
ORB. Why would you get pulled over for having a dirty car?

Pretty sure that rule changed about 4 months after I got my P's.. that any conditions you had whilst on your P's now carry over to your open license. At least, that's what I'm lead to believe these days. I don't think you would ever have your car impounded for such a law... and I think you can get up to 1 demerit point for doing this, but it is the cop's discretion

I know its not much help, but over here in the West, what you pass your test in is what you are licenced to drive during and after your probation period. And if you have just your auto licence and get done driving a manual, thats a 3 month rest, and if you are on your P's, thats game over licence, come back in 3 months get your L's again, book a test again, pass again & welcome back to driving.
Add to this the fact you aren't insured, not even third party cover. What if you hit a car with a kid in the back and he gets injured, you'll be in jail for a while, then paying the compo bill for the rest of your life after the RTA (or similar body's) insurance co drags you through court to get you to cough up for 12 months or so, then u have to pay thier legals too....do I need conitnue. Over here, I'm pretty sure you can go do your manual licence while you are on your auto P's and your probation period doesnt get extended any....maybe you should enquire about that. |

yeah but people driving expensive cars wouldn't get pulled up much at all, you'd probably be unlucky to get pulled up in a 2000 and onwards car(if you were driving normal and not wrecklessly).

Fine is "Failure to obey licence conditions" ie Driving an manual on an auto licence.
Penalty is $110 and no points. Not a biggie, but surely more expensive that resitting the test. ![]() |

The penalty could be a fine or a custodial sentence, dependant on a number of factors. In addition if he is insured his insurance company will scrap him in the advent of a collision, the ramifications could be very serious indeed, not worth it imo. |
