What would happen if you pulled a international license and your passport and said "I'm on holiday" if stopped for a check after being banned.
If you lose your licence in Oz it is illegal to drive in Oz with another country's licence. |

If your passport has a temp visa, you only get fined for any offence.
You could be here on a two year working visa which is a temp visa; doesn't make any difference. |

Yup, Exactly the same 12 points = banned. Also on public holidays and school holidays they have double points. If you are caught doing a 3 point speeding offence you will get 6 points. Opportunity to lose your licence in double quick time in school hols!

Not necessarily. A temp visa doesn't matter. They will check your name and car rego details on the database. If it shows you have an Aussie address and had previously held an Aussie licence but lost it then you are stuffed. You will be charged with unlicensed driving and everythig else they can think of.
You could be here on a two year working visa which is a temp visa; doesn't make any difference. But most temp visa holders don't bother about an Australian licence, as it just isn't worth it. They cost money, they are not needed, and sometimes you aren't even eligible to get one. |

Yes, if on a temp visa the licence doesn't need to be changed. If on a perm visa your lience needs to be changed to an Oz one within 3 months.

Yes, but you have to have a certificate to prove that you are able to use it competently. :rofl: |
