Yes, when you move over you will probably get the points put on, well my husband did anyway. Got fined when we were there on holiday, then when we moved over later that year, when he applied for his aussie licence they had kindly added the points for speeding May be a different situation if a couple of years pass before you move over.

I had a similar experience, a small speeding fine whilst on a UK license whilst visiting the year before emigration. When I moved here and applied for an Aussie license, it was issued with a point already on it. I was very surprised that their database had the details on it, but they had my UK license number on file and when I presented it...........

The points last for three years. Chances are, the length of time visas take etc, any points could have expired by the time you got here. Shouldn't worry about it.

4 points? According to the office of road safety website that would have had to be over 30 km over the speed limit. Hardly safe driving!

Fackers. I was in same boat - got done for speeding twice and they sent a letter back to UK. I sent a letter saying I was an innocent tourist blah blah. As both tickets were on the same stretch of rd within an hour they said it was some kind of rule to waive 1 fine. But I still had to pay the other one. I paid (only as was going to move over soon). I applied for a license a year later after we'd moved and never got any points. Maybe I was lucky. Probably depends on the state etc.

I was caught speeding on holiday in WA in 2005, Paid the fine while i was still there. When we emigrated in 2006 and applied for a WA licence it was issued with the points i had gained in 2005.

I wish they'd had that rule two years ago when I got my suspension in Sydney. Two fines 6 days apart from the Moore Park camera put me off the road for 3 months.

Yes, it's amazing! I love it there
Sadly no plans to move there yet
Lol

Not necessarily. Inappropriate speed is dangerous, not speed per se.

I doubt it very much. Even if by some miracle they did it's only 4 points and by the time your husband was here half or more of the expiry time would have elapsed. I also don't see how they could tie the two records together exactly without a date of birth, passport number etc.

p.s. My friend managed to get one a couple of years ago whilst visiting WA [I told him to slow down !]. He now has the infringement demand, complete with him driving, framed on his office wall.

Oh and by the way, he wasn't doing over 30km over the limit

Are you sure it was 4 points? last time I looked it was either 3 or 5 points depending on speed?

Hebe

When I first arrived a got a number of fines for speeding - 63 in a 60 was the usual one! I was still on UK licence and when I got my Aussie one about 2 years later there were no points. This is in Victoria

Yes defo 4 points, down in Dunsbourgh

Kooky.

Yep, sure is. Don't suppose you'd happen to know of a motel down there would you, Gabriel?

Oh look! You have the website for one on your profile. Strange, that.
