Driving license points question
Got a bloody brown envelope from the local 'safety camera initiative' (Ha!) this morning!
Clocked going through a red light in my lorry!!
Can anyone offer advice on points and what happens to them when you transfer to an Oz license (most probably WA)?
TIA

Hey Rob,
Got my UK license transfered into ACT license with similar offence on UK license. Offence didn't carry onto ACT license so I would assume that WA would be the same.

Re: Driving license points question
sorry about the points thing!! but whilst we are on the subject is a UK licence valid in australia? i heard that we could drive for 3 months then had to retake the driving test in australia - does anyone know if this is true or not? one of the other posters mentioned converting the UK licence into an aussie one - how do you do this?

More usefully before you take your test do yourself a favour and read up on the "keys to driving" book. You can download it and print it off for some light airplane reading.
I failed mine the first time for being cockey, my dear lady failed twice and my father in law still hasnt passed lol
You dont have to do a practical and dont have to book to do the theory - just turn up and take it there and then.
