Hey guys, i posted this thread in order to notify anyone who is on their P plates or P2 provisional licence, well thursday night i was minding my own business driving home from my mates house at around midnight, i was driving sensibly doing nothing wrong, now i spotted at unmarked police car go through a red light at the intersection where portrush road meets magil road i instantly thought yeeh im gonna get pulled over, so the female police officer pulled me over did a rego check and brethalizer and searched my car for defects but could not find anything, so she went back to her car with my licence and approaches me saying "do you realise that you are under the new high performance vehicle law so therefore you are not able to drive this car" so i argued the point that her statement was incorrect but according to her it was not and she asked me to take my keys out and lock my car as i was not driving the car home, so i remained calm and contacted my dad, now i was not prepared to leave my car on magil road waiting for someone to pick it up but i knew that her statement was incorrect and the fact that she didnt know much about this new law that sapol are trying to enforce really pissed me of, i asked if i could be escorted home but she replied no so i had one of my mates drive the car home, after a sleepless night i spoke to the sargent at holden hill first thing friday morning and he claimed he didnt know much about it, and i ended up getting in contact with the head office of the motor reg who claimed that i am able to drive this vehicle as i am on my P2s not P1s, after trying to get in contact with the officer that pulled me over i unfortunatly did not get her name or badge number which did not help me, after a long day of stressing out unable to get to work due to not being able to use my parents cars due to them being V8s and Twin turbos i recieved a call from the officer that had pulled me over stating that she further investigated the matter and realised that she F***D up and this new law did not apply to me as i had my Ps a year b4 the new law came out, now if she took further action and impounded my car or had taken my licence even a fine we would of ended up in court and she would of been in big trouble, im still not happy about this issue because i think skylines get targeted way to much bcoz of dickheads driving stupid in them especially P platers this should of never happened thursday night if this officer looked at my licence history correctly, now i would like to advise anyone who owns a skyline that is on their P plates or P2 licence to find out when they got their P plates and if it was after or b4 this date because she claimed that they were really cracking down on this after a meeting 2 weeks ago that focused on high performance cars and i hate to say it but skylines where definetly at the top of the list according to this officer!!
Cheers
