Hey guys, just wondering

My license is a NSW one and im suspended from driving, just wondering if im still able to drive in a different state?...example, might be in QLD next weekend, might want to drive to like the shops to grab a snack..

Do other state cop shop have access to other states license details?...

cant confirm but generally if you have no licence in one state it still means you wont have it in another , so the question is do you want to take the risk of getting caught and not having a licence for even longer

yeah techincally im almost 100% sure youre not meant to be driving a vehicle at all.

interstate and interdepartmental cross referencing is getting better all the time too. having said that, you very may well get away with it. in fact you probably will but if you were to have even a small accident, youd be in deep shit.

From what I heard (no idea if it's true) is that you have a license and permits. You have a bike permit and a car permit for example. Now you don't get a permit suspended but your actual license suspended so that means - as slydar said - you can't drive any vehichle that falls under that license "umbrella". I cant imagine a boat permit would be suspended tho...
