I think there's also a loophole in the legal system. If you get done for something like dangerous driving, you're meant to bring your physical licence to court and get it endorsed on the day. If you 'forget' to bring your licence, it doesn't get physically endorsed and the penalty only exists on a few computer systems. And not all the Govt computers talk to each other so you could lose your licence and nobody would be any the wiser unless they did some digging. Hence the NDLS driving licence history printout!
