in nsw , if you got your p's before july 2005 -
your allowed to have a turbod car or up to a V8 - they were the rules brought out. so if you made that cut off date - regardless if you get pulled over you are fine .
i lost my license 2 months ago - for 6 months . which doesnt change anything as far as what vehicle type i can drive . im just paused for the amount time . but in general as stated , cops will only pull you over if you are doing something wrong! but whats weird is:
i got pulled over and i pulled into a petrol stn . facing into the wall , the cops fined me etc - but they didnt even have the thought of looking at my car - and they could clearly see it was a fast car - and a P plater driving! - i stood lucky on that side of the fine . i was mainly worried about them looking at the fmic . and pod filter . but it was dark - i could of just been lucky , because i know of other people who have been caught speeding and got pulled into an rta inspection bay and got defected for illegal mods . mainly exhuast volume and things like rims out of the gaurds .
if you play it safe on the road and not be stupid you shouldnt have trouble . but you will get the occasional arogant cop who thinks he owns the world.
i remember my 1st car was a honda prelude = i spent a couple of grand on rims exhaust - make it look good etc ... it was a good car for a first and was clean . i was driving with a mate . at the lights , pretty conjested traffic - some snobby cop was in front , and i was watching his mirrors - and the bastard - adjusts them so he can check out my car from behind , trying to focus them to see my car and who i was .... meanwhile i kept driving and he tried following me . some how i managed to loose him .
where is the justice - they are always going to be assholes....
