Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!
All states are computer linked now for warrant serving, license and registration checking etc.
You may be right Chuck but I'm sure in SA you must DECLARE if you have a license in another state.

Crikey, that got more attention than I expected. Have been on a cruise for a 10 days and only got home yesterday. Thanks for the adice and options I have explored most of them with the exception of crook camera.
To clarify I was not trying to get out of the fines or the demerits just looking to restructure to allow me to keep Licence, because
1 My wife does not have the licence nor could she drive the bus full time for 3 months
2 We follow the caravan/campervan/motorhome shows around the country to make a few $$ to fuel the bus and I have booked and paid for shows up to October 2013, loss of licence would have cost us a grand or more in lost site fees, that makes the penalty way out of proportion to the offence along with double demerits
I see nothing wrong with this and I do not see myself as a mad/bad speeding driver, just distracted at the wrong time.
As for leniency you have to have a clean sheet for 10 years unfortunately I wore one for my wife a couple of years back (this can also attract a fine) and 8 years ago I had another picture taken so that avenue was no good. The fines are collected by a collections department so I dont think there is much compassion in the process. Driving without a licence can attract jail time or big fine. I rang QLD RTA and spoke with a chap there to see what I could do. 13 demerits in NSW for licence suspension 12 in Qld. I looked like loosing 12 so NSW was ok but as my licence is Qld it was going to go BUT and this is a big BUT when the offence occurs interstate the fine sticks, (NSW get the bucks) but the double demerits do not, so I only have 6 demerit points on my QLD licence, all good licence is OK.
I have turned up the volume on the GPS and she along with the navigator are enough to keep anyone in check
