Warning To All Queensland P Platers

[Keegs]

because we're cool QLD we arent doing the power to weight ratio thing like in other states. According to the Transport site they are excluding v8's, Turbos and "high peformance" cars. They're putting up a list later this year. I can hardly wait. Id say its a fair bet that nana's corolla/lancer will be all thats left off. I think they'll be pretty thorough with it.

but in victoria they have a list of cars too. but then they have the rule for cars that aren't on the list.

No matter what goes on the list, there will always be workarounds (usually made by Honda ). And going for blanket restrictions such as "V8" or "turbo" creates the problem of including cars that aren't even performance cars at all.

i'm wondering whether turbo diesels will be included on the banned list. while they aren't the most powerful things in the world some of them do still have a fair bit of get up and go, while others couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

[Stephen22]

it is good to us with licsense already...

[Stephen22]

then I think after the rules are out...the Kid will jump themselve into a of those V-Tec or Mivec car...

those little v-tec are fast too, why they arent in the list....not fair to Nissan.

meh, find someone in nsw...go down there, list as address...get license under their rules. Problem solved for everyone only just getting their license. Of course I dont suggest this...I think it might be dodgy and possibly not legal.

you can have your licence from whatever state you want, but you still have to abide by the laws of the state that you are driving in.

Update: bad luck to anyone getting their p's after July 1, even if you currently own a high performance car you can't drive it....say hello to even cheaper prices for imports and performance cars...no more teen racers. Bad luck to anyone on your l's getting your p's you have to wait until you're on your opens.

The two men at the motorshow representing QLD transport said the new rules dont effect current P platers, Only NEW P platers.. So yay, Unless they were confused on rules aswell

yep you're right, they portrayed it wrong on the news...the transport website has been updated too.

[markimak]

wtf are you talking about...if you're currently on your p's you're ok. The P1, P2, P3 bullsh*t only comes in after July 1 and hence power restrictions only apply to people that obtain their P's after that date!

[impact_blue]

Man i'm glad I got my license when I did. Means I don't have to worry about driving a skyline, or sticking up dicky P plates, or be on P1/P2/P3 bullshit. Ahhhhh

[prego]

sucks to be me i can get ps july 5th

looking at n/a ma70 manual supras atm for a first car maybe a sr20de s13 n/a skylines are just out of my budget

[ze_flexy_1]

These apply from 1 July 2007

Key changes will include:

-peer passenger restrictions (only carrying one passenger aged under 21) from 11pm to 5am for P1 under 25

-late night driving and other restrictions for disqualified and suspended young drivers

Thankfully, according to information any person who has their p's license before 1 july 2007 will have no restrictions.

You know what i realise?....for those under 25 thier means of safety when going out at night not just clubbing will actually be more jeopardised.....what ever happened to organising a designated driver?

This new law means your having a nanny night and taking everyone home before 11...........Or if in particular your a girl like me, some means of "alternative" transport isnt allways the safest bet either.....look at the new ACA offenders of bus drivers, other drunken males on buses, trains.....and also some sex offending taxi drivers.

Instead of being able to trust those near and dear to us we are forced to trust strangers when were out at night.

Im definatly not going to stay out til 5am till i can give my firends a ride.....that one i just dont get people.

Two people per car late at night is ok.....but isnt brisbane currently going through a traffic and population crisis?.....Arnt they trying to get more cars OFF the road?

someone enlighten me please.

[Hell Fire]

But! But! Young kids! KIDS DAMNIT! Are driving better cars then ME! I'll just put this law in then I can own them all at the lights lol.

(Sarcasm on the internet)

I can only hope when they realise that this new system doesn't change their much beloved statistics they'll remove it, but we all know it won't happen.

I have a question, what happens to those who say currently own a Provisional (P) license and it got revoked or suspended going through 1st of july, or after 1st of July what happens?

Anyone know this one?
