ummm well i cant get a gts-t or any other one with a turbo or if its been super charged because i would get fined or get me car inmpounded

so theres no chance of me getting a skyline with a turbo

turbo's and super charged cars will be illigel to drive for a P1 and P2 platers

while the power to wight raito may change

so... in other words... i can only get a non-turbo with no real power

the system sucks for the people that want a fast car but dont want to drive insane on the roads :S

well then if you knew that... wtf are you complaining about.

like i said in another post... sucks to be you. i read you were what 16? thats just to bad your not 18 and able to get your P's now... coz if you got your P's before the new laws came in. the new laws wont affect you.

Do the standard exemptions apply to these new rules?

eg: if it's a business vehicle or if it's the only car you have access to you can get an exemption from VicRoads and still drive it legally?

I e-mailed vic roads.

if you have your Ps before July 2007 the rules don't apply.

this is what the told me.

"The new high powered vehicle restrictions will apply to all drivers issued

a probationary licence from July 2007. This means if you currently hold or

are issued a probationary licence on or before 30 June 2007 then you will

not be affected by the change in the high powered vehicle requirements.

However if you will be issued with a probationary licence on or after 1July

2007, then the new restrictions will apply.

This 12 month lead time is designed to let people know well in advance of

the new requirements of what type of vehicle they should consider acquiring

if they are likely to obtain their licence after this date. The current

exemptions for use for work reasons and exceptional circumstances will

continue to apply.

Information about the current high powered vehicle restrictions are

provided in the following link

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/vrne/vrne5n...EB0019D1F0?open

High powered vehicles under as of July 2007 are explained in the following

link

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/download.../GLSA4_FAQs.pdf

Under the new high powered vehicle restrictions, it is expected that the

sorts of non turbo, non V8, non super charged cars that are likely to be

banned include BMW 3 series and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z or if the

capacity of the car exceeds 115kw/T or more that 205kw.

Regarding your question about green Ps, you will be bound by the conditions

when your original licence was issued. At 1July 2008 you will only need to

serve the remaining period of your Ps, on the Green Ps."

i am keeping the e-mail, so if i ever get pulled over. i have evidence.

these laws do not apply to any current P platers

just new ones to be

[sky high]

some of you are telling the turth about driving and how people just can not drive

and theres others who just dont agree but theses are going to be the new laws theres nothing anyone can do

the anti hoon laws what are in now has got about 20 cars impounded where i live in the last 2 weeks

so people should just do this crap on a track or the friday night drags.

it might cost more but a least you get to keep ypur licence

coz you dont know when your numbers up

thats what i said...

Good one Nebz!

The current exemptions for use for work reasons and exceptional circumstances will continue to apply.

So to all the people having a cry about the restrictions, buy your "high powered vehicle" now, move out of home when you get your licence, and apply for an exemption.

yeah the exact same thin happend in nsw, as most would allready (speacially ppl in NSW ) im in the same situation i recently got my red p's (p1's) and checked the RTA (who deal in roads n shit in nsw) website for prohibited vehicles. r33 gtst wasnt on it so i called up the RTA and they said if it isnt on the list then u can drive it. but im still cautious as it says turbo's so yeah. and basically if you can prove u purchased the car befor you the laws came in i think the restriction may not apply, at least thats the case in NSW..

Have a good one
