This thought just popped into my head and I can't find anything online about it T_T

Got pulled over Saturday 9pm. I'm an international student with a valid international license but didn't have it with me when stopped.

Situation:

• International license holder (valid, with student visa)
• Didn't have license with me when stopped
• Officer didn't give any paperwork or instructions
• Called non-emergency line but no clear answer

I've heard there might be a '48-hour rule' where you can present your license at a police station within 48 hours of being stopped to avoid a fine. Can anyone confirm if this is true for international license holders?

Questions:

1. Is the 48-hour rule real for international licenses?
2. If yes, which police station in Adelaide should I go to?
3. What documents should I bring? (I have international license, passport, student visa)
4. Since I was stopped Saturday 9pm, would Monday be too late?

Any experience or advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Just turned 30, 3 of my close friends have moved away in the last 6 months.

Feeling their absence, and distant, growing in different directions to some of my other friends - not it a bad way, just in a different way.

Looking to connect and meet some new friends! Or couples at similar points in their lives (DINKS)

We’re not a huge drinkers, I’m sometimes an anxious girly but enjoy music and film. Yummy food and good company.. A board game here or there.. idk. 🤷

How are people finding friends? I’m hesitant to join a sporting club but that seems the main way I’ve seen people make new connections.

Looking for somewhere to have a nice meal/date night between the city & entertainment centre. Coming to the city from out of town and want to take advantage of a kid free night so I’d like to go out with the hubs before heading to a show. Pretty much anything other than a snitty or burger will do, but kinda hoping to dine the pants off the old boy. Thanks in advance for your reviews/recommendations!

Hey all, I lost my license for smoking weed while driving in 2022 I finally quit last year and it’s now been 5 months and have to complete a drug dependency test to get it back. The test is booked for the 18th of this month. I’m just wondering if anyone knows whether it is a blood or urine test, I’m not a regular drug user but I did do two lines of coke not long ago, I doubt it will show up but bit more concerned if it’s a blood test. If anyone knows please let me know !

I'm based in Marion, and fk me dead if can't find a decent pub within a 15 minute drive. Does anyone have any recommendations? I really like an old style pub. Not a modern soulless type.

My husband and I have our wedding anniversary coming up, so looking for some suggestions for best places to eat out. Preferably in the Noarlunga, Seaford, McLaren Vale, Morphett Vale, Reynella areas. Doesn't have to be anything fancy, just good food and some value for money. Thank you!

Great view tonight from Normie

Other than fast food

I used to always go to the fill your plate for $15 at chinatown but they closed the food court down

Hey all, my partner and I are getting hitched in April and we’re hoping you wonderful people could help us out with some locations around Sturt Street, Gouger Street, Wright Street etc.

We have Whitmore square as an option, but are thinking alleys with street art, murals, cool old buildings, other hidden gems that might make for a good photo.

Open to all suggestions though, so let’s hear ‘em!

Hey folks, has anyone had any experiences with or has any recommendations for mechanics that specialise in aftermarket engine swaps? My Mazda MX5 engine needs replacing and instead of just swapping for another 1.8l engine, I would like to put something a little more fun in there. My mechanic said that he’s not keen to do any engine swaps that are not the same engine as the old one so would like to know if anyone has had this done to their car before where you’ve had a different car’s engine (for example Honda VTec) into your car?

hi there!! a few days ago i received my university of south australia student ID card - was just wondering if i have to request building access online to look around inside the city east/west campuses after hours or if my student card will automatically allow me into such study areas/spaces? just curious as to which areas exactly my student ID allows me into :)

As the title says, de-privatise the Adelaide Metro Buses.

Anyone spotted any monster truck displays ahead of the monster truck show next Saturday? They usually have a few parked across the city in car yards etc.

Hi everyone, sorry if this is a strange topic, but my wife and I moved here in March 2024 (northern suburbs, Elizabeth South specifically), and as soon as summer rolled in, we both started having crazy stinging pains all over our bodies whenever we went outside, as in, completely fine inside, walk out the front door to get to the car and suddenly body is on fire, feels like a million ant bites, specifically my back and shoulders, and my wife says her stomach. She got home from work today and said she had the same issue again, and her stomach did legitimately have red inflamation in little patches. I assume it's some kind of allergen reacting to sweat but it's instantaneous when going outside and sweating inside doesn't set it off. It didn't happen until just before Christmas, and has been ongoing since.

I've only come across hypersensitive skin as a result, but neither of us have felt this way until summer while living here. Are there any specific pollutants/allergens/bugs we need to be looking out for? Anyone else feel this way and know specifics of what causes it? Honestly any info at all would be great because it's such a strange thing. I didn't even know my wife felt the same thing until she mentioned it a few weeks ago, I thought I was just going nuts.

This was driving north coming up to South Rd just before 3:30pm. Northbound side of the road shut down completely. Car ended up bursting entirely into flames, with a fair few small explosions occurring. Two car accident, with the driver of white car apparently doing a runner from the scene. 👀

G’day everyone,

My family and I absolutely love SA (just hit the five year mark) and we were discussing what to do in school holidays, and the subject of purchasing a shack came up.

Do you purchase the land through a real estate agent? Or is there a specific website that deals with purchasing a shack/land for a shack?

Thanks very much for your help

I know this has been asked before (older posts or ones with minimal responses) but I’ve just been diagnosed with adhd and I’m making some calls on Monday to try and find a female GP that has experience with adhd and happy to handle the medication side of things.

I am aware of that website which lists some, hoping for some personal recommendations that people have come across.

I would like a female because ideally I want a regular doctor for everything else too and I’m always more comfortable opening up to females. My usual Gp has just suddenly stopped working at the clinic I was attending, so I’m shopping for a new one.

Thanks in advance!

Here’s a random question. Firstly, I haven’t been to a cafe Primo in a good probably…20+ years. Could be good nowadays, could be rubbish (I’d imagine average). But I can’t help remember that when you used to buy a meal for “noine nointy” you would get a Cointreau infused thick flapjack pancake with maple syrup and it was my favourite part of the meal.

Anyone know how to make these things/ex employees that ran away with the recipe?

I have a friend who is looking for a reputable lawyer that deals with suing for medical negligence. I don't want to give much detail for obvious reasons, but essentially the public health system's perpetual negligence led to a young man getting permanent brain damage after being prematurely removed from care. Has anybody had experience in this scenario or know of a particularly reputable lawyer firm that does?

Probably a pointless post, but would you risk it? It would just be a short wheelbase one. Sadly I rent so can't park securely in a garage. Anyone done it?

If Victoria wasn't enough for today...

The question about theatre groups/performances/auditions for adults seems to come up every now & then, so someone may be interested to know that it looks like there are still plenty of spots to audition for Loc'ally Theatr's When We Dead Awaken (Ibsen). They have a facebook page & audition spots (with a link to audition info) here:

I'm not affiliated with these guys in anyway (never even seen any of their or their sister company's productions).

Hi all,

I'm moving to Adelaide and won't really know anyone. I've looked into run clubs as a way to meet friends. Has anyone had any experience with this type of thing? I feel anxious rocking up on my own and don't want to look like a weird.

Thanks

Does anyone know what’s up with this “Forest of the Fallen” lot? They seem to sprig up every now and then and go on some nonsense about vaccines killing people.

Has anyone had good experiences with any local docs who do skin cancer checks and biopsies? I have recently been told I need a biopsy for a likely bcc in the centre of my cheek - the gp I saw couldn't explain much and didn't fill me with confidence re his surgical abilities. Any recommendations for a second opinion would be much appreciated :)
