My dad is looking into uber to supplement his income. He has a NSW drivers license from Queanbeyan. He can change to ACT if he wishes.
He's had his license suspended in NSW from unpaid traffic fines a few time but it was reinstated the day after.
Would this have a major effect on him going onboard with uber or is it easier for him to get an ACT license? Thought I'd ask here first before dealing with the uber robots.
Also we both use the same car, both our names are on it but in the ACT you can only have one name so it's under my name as the sole operator.
There should be no issues with the licence if it has only been suspended due to unpaid traffic tickets, i have had a few of those when i got approved a couple of months back
Will he be planning to drive in sydney or queanbeyan?
As i am not sure about the CNB / QYN crossover... as its two different states...
One of my friend had his license suspended in past in NSW and uber refused to sing him up as a driver unless he can go and get the DA from RMS.
Which means if RMS have no problem issuing him DA uber has no problem letting him drive for them.
But I don't know how it works in ACT.

Uber covers Queanbeyan and other centres in New South Wales near Canberra from Canberra. To drive for Uber in the ACT and nearby areas of New South Wales (including Queanbeyan), it's necessary to have an ACT licence for the driver and ACT registration for the car.
Just another anecdote (thought this is probably old news)...
I've had multiple license suspensions (NSW) for nonpayment of parking fines. I was approved by uber and initially, and since then have my DAC. Also had a speeding fine (>15km/hr) within the past 2 years and still no issue (thats the only points I've lost recently), on average one speeding fine every 3 to 5 years it seems
