Do you have to tell insurance about speeding points?
Under the Road Traffic Act 1998, it is an offence to withhold relevant information when applying for car insurance. This means that you’re legally obliged to tell a prospective (or current) insurer of any penalty points you receive.
Can someone else drive my car if I am banned?
Your insurance is technically void as you no longer have a license to drive. This would then mean that someone could use your car on their own insurance policy.
How long do you have 3 points for?
Most points stay on your licence for four years from the date of the offence, although they are only active for the first three. For more serious offences, such as causing death by dangerous driving or drink driving, the points will stay on your licence for 11 years.
How fast do speeding tickets come through?
How long before a speeding fine arrives in NSW? There seems to be no official word on this, but within two weeks seems to be a fair estimate, although people do wait longer. If you have a query in NSW, you can contact NSW Revenue here. You can also request a review of your fine if you think there’s been a mistake.
What happens if you get 6 points?
Under the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act, any driver who gets six or more penalty points within two years of passing your test will have their driving licence revoked. This includes any penalty points given before they passed their test. Penalty points are valid for three years.
What happens if a learner is caught driving alone?
It is against the law for learner drivers to drive a vehicle unless accompanied by someone with a full driving licence and who has been on the road for at least two years. At the moment, if found, unaccompanied learner permit drivers will pick up two penalty points and a fixed fine.
Does 6 penalty points affect insurance?
Penalty points show up on your driving record, not on your actual licence. Having current penalty points can affect your insurance premium. Along with a fixed penalty, you can get six points on your licence for driving uninsured.
