I have an ACT drivers licence but it was suspended as I lost all my points, but in the three months it was suspended, I got caught driving without a drivers licence. Because of this, I got summoned to court.

If I change to an NSW drivers licence before the court date, I heard that ACT court can only suspend your drivers licence in ACT and you can still drive in NSW. Is this true?

Not in the way you think.
