[WiDoW MaK3r]

I"M POSTING THIS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ONE THING AND OTHERS ANOTHER

this is the "new victorian graduated licensing system"

i got some info from vicroads today....

*note! check with vicroads for full info and not to take this as the full new laws*

• the high powered vehicle restriction for P platers (read below) - July 2007
  
• the new P1/P2 plates requirements and new driving test (read below) - july 2008
  SOME KEY CHANGE"S
  L plates...
  
  • must have 120 hours of experince including 10 hours at night
    
  • no use of moblies, hands-free or hand-held or any messaging of any kind
    
  • must carry learners permit whlie driving (duh)
    

  ****P plantes*****

  there will be 2 P plates introduced... P1 and P2 (sounds alot like b1&b2 :lol:)

  P1 plates...

  • P1 drivers are on the P1 plate for 12 months(if over 21 yr's old then you go stright to P2 plates, only if u had ur L's for 12 months
    
  • MUST have a good driving recored to progress through each licence stage. A POOR DRIVING RECORD EXTENDS THE P1 AND P2 LICENCE BY ***6 MONTHS***
    
  • for P1 drivers, towing is not permitted except for work or under instruction
    
  • new HIGH POWERED vehicle restriction will prevent P platers from driving vehicles with :
    engines with eight or more cylinders
    turbocharged or supercharged engines
    nominated high performance six cylinder engines
    engines that have been mod'ed to increase performance
    

  ***People who are over 26 and still on there P's****

  • ALL drink drivers (and first timers) will have to fit a alcohol ignition interlock when relicenced, for a minimum of six months
    

  VEHICLE IMPOUNDMENT

  if a driver intentionaly makes the care lose traction or unsafe behaviours (eg.. speeding, draging)

  there are now provisions that allow police or courts to impound a car...

  repeat offenders will have there cars' impound time will be longer and will be possable for the car to be forfeited.

Damn straight!

Having to buy a non-turbo? What's changed, under the old system all turbo skylines (except for a particular few years worth of R32) were on the banned list.

Meh, i got my P's last year, so the new rules don't apply to me.

They will if you decide to change cars, that is to a turbo/v8 car

[123456]

P2 plates? Once your over 21 you get these? I dont quit get what your saying.

i have two cars with:

engines with eight or more cylinders

turbocharged or supercharged engines

nominated high performance six cylinder engines

engines that have been mod'ed to increase performance

and under the current restrictions i can drive them, but i wont be 21 till october next year, so.. i won't be able to drive them? Does this only apply to people who havnt got there licence yet? Or had it for what amount of time?

Very irritating..

[saff_cossie]

So nothing about making the test more stringent then in the above legislation.

The test would be the first part to weed out some of the shocking drivers and keep them on L's until they are of a high enough standard for the roads. This includes under confident and over confident.

The info you have posted appears to give Vic Roads a bit more scope for banning vehicles that were previously in a loop hole.

Heading in the right direction but that alone will not solve everything.

[RPR33]

I'm still on my p's and I have a turbo'd line cops pull me over every chance they get but they have never stoped me from driving.. They asked me if I can drive it on my p's. so I checked the list.... (about 5 months ago)I can just not a grt... I think the new list is different.. but seeing I already have the car and my p's I don't think it will effect me??

Or am I wrong

[aphid]

haha good work champ

the cars being confiscated thingy is in now, has been since june 1st. i got my skyline confiscated last sat night, get it back tomoro morning

[Do-Luck]

It'd suck to be a P plater!

[AlexCim]

its not the cars, its the freaking drivers

IMPOUND THE CRAPPY DRIVERS, NOT THE GOOD CARS FFS

More bloody stringent licencing is the key, get rid of those f**king camry drivers!

[paulr33]

well its like anything with vicroads

if theres a big accident in an intersection and its a fatality all of a sudden they want to invest a quater of a million to redevelop the intersection to make it more safe. they probably dont even know why the accident occured, let alone it could actually be the drivers at fault and not the intersection
