So in my worst case scenario, I will be suspended only on my learner bike license for 3 months.
Still sucks!!
Interesting, brother in law was in the same predicament as you & thats the same responce he got from the RTA over the phone, yet later recieved a suspension notice in the mail after the TIN.
The only people who can accumulate 14 demerit points are professional drivers, Unrestricted C = 13 demerits
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/usingroads/pe ... index.htmlBoth licenses are not independent, if they were you could be disqualified on one license yet ok ride or drive on another, which ain't going to happen!
Sounds like the person you spoke to over the phone was the same level 1 mindless moron my brother in law encountered.
Wait to you recieve anything first than worry about what's next.
