[cln]

[xRHETTx]

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*

WHEN

• alcohol interlock (read below as to what) - january 2007
  
• the new L plate requirements - july 2007
  
• 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.

All good laws i say.

I dont care, I'm off my P's.

I couldnt afford a turbo car when i was on my P's, and I'm f@@king glad i couldnt. Else I would be dead, and I'm the safest driver I know of... there are a lot of dickheads out there.

Impounding cars?? What a fantastic idea, get all those hoon dicks off the roads.

but i do agree that more has to be done on creating a better licensing system, i know of people getting their P's with less than 10 hours experience in only the best conditions. and they have all had accidents since.

I had over 200 hours experience before i got my Ps i think. 120 hours is a good amount.

[AMS]

Jar I believe you are correct. Basing that this is the same as NSW... Which i'd say is so

[baron25]

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

Yeah, but i'm happy with what i've got. Goes well, handles well, comfy seats. If i want another million kW i'll hook up some neons and get a no fear sticker.

And Rhett, i'm with you. But maybe instead of banning stuff, make getting the appropriate licensing tougher so dickheads don't get it, and the ones that do know what they're doing.

[foznice]

how are they going to know, that L platers have had 120hours driving experience??

[baron25]

You'll have to bring the logbook they give you when you get your L's to your P's test. And it'd be a legal document, so there'd be penalties if you got caught fudging it.

[WiDoW MaK3r]

i just want to clear 1 thing up

these laws will apply ot new P platers

in other words... i have to go on the new P plates

it sucks but i have to do it :S

oh well

[123456]

Can any one answer and of my questions on the previous page? Got me worried now, had my heart set on a a gtr once i hit 21, now i might still be on my p's when im 21?

Also, theres way to many 40+ skyline drivers in my opinion having a whinge about kids these days -_-

not that i could see in this topic;

+ some stuff people said b4 seemed to imply it did

[WiDoW MaK3r]

well if u have any bro's or mates that are younger then ya... like in ur 10 or less then they'll have to know about these laws

they suck

it was just people that cant control a car but they think they can do any thing...

*coff*commadore drivers*coff*

The problem being the ones who would fudge it are the ones you want to stop being on the road in general. The honest ones will largely (I suspect) be the ones who are mature enough to own a driving licence.

Rhett is right and good to admit about not owning a skyline on P's. To all the ones saying badluck, why? I dont see anything bad about gaining experience in a $hit box, getting your no claims down on a cheaper policy and driving something that doesnt provide too much temptation too plant it.

[WiDoW MaK3r]

i understand

get a cheap car...

easy isurance and stuff...

but theres some thing about the youth

we want stuff now and and it fast

lol

i may be 16 but that dont mean i'm gona be a bad driver... i even hope so...

i'm not going to be one of tho's prickz that stuff the system up but still.... i'll be a prick lol

but a cheap car for your first car isn't a bad idea

but not for me mate... i'm wanting a skyline aspa lol

[baron25]

its a legal document now... and alot of ppl bullshit about it

Not quite, before the new laws take affect the 120hrs is/was 'reccommended' - VicRoads or the Police can't penalise or punish you for not having it filled out or making stuff up. (I sat on a Roadsafe council for a few years, and lobbied against some of these changes)

[**JaR**]

not that i could see in this topic;

well this would be the 456,783,358th time this topic had been covered...

but not for me mate... i'm wanting a skyline aspa lol

then buy one and get a licence before the new laws come in. the end.
