I Recently got my license back from VicRoads and they have nicely given me a passenger restriction.

Now my question is, what happens if i break this passenger restriction. I asked the lady on the phone but she seemed to just

spill out crap like she didn't know what she was talking about and she didn't look it up.

She stated to me "3 Points and a Big Fine" and i've heard its only a fine.

So does anyone know what the real story is? as i don't feel like sitting on the phone to VicRoads for another 30 minutes

It'll be demirts i reckon (without actually checking)

everything virtually is a demirt

no p plate

speeding

etc etc. its all become so trivial that something like that would incur demirts, if not now, when the laws do thier change later this year (IIRC).

Probably best to ring up again tomorrow or something.

Or just ask to speak to someone else :nyaanyaa:

Yep, That's what i was thinking so i'm not sure ive browsed through there site but to not avail. I'll call up again tomorrow, the only thing that was making me think different is the police officer that told me its only a fine?

Any light anyone would like to shed on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

i duno how long its been goin but if u get a speeding fine within the first year of havin your ps u get passenger restrictions. Its for 1 year and only 1 passenger you are allowed to have. You have to go to vicroads and get a new licence and when its finished go bak and they issue you with another 1 that your restrictions are taking off

I had one.

Solution is as follows....

Buy a Catterham Super 7. It only has two seats and would spank the vast majority of the Skylines on this site.... And it's P-Plate legal :)

I heard you are allowed to carry more than one passanger if one of the passengers is an open license driver - however if none of the passengers are over 25 and fully licensed then your limit is 1.

Get used to it, they are going to make it an overall rule for ALL P Platers in the future - i personally think its for the better,

less passengers == less peer pressure == less stupid behaviour.

yep got 1 of these restrictions myself. i got it the first time i was done for speeding(license suspended for 1month).

i don't know about the consequences but like anything i think it all depends on the officer. i was once on my way to soccer and got pulled over for a "random check" i was carrying 4 passengers (with the restriction on my license), 3 dudes in the back eventhough there's only 2 seatbelts in the back. he looked around the car then let us go.

:no:

not sure what you mean....?

basically if you have the restriction you're not allowed 2 carry more than 1 passenger at any time. it's actually pretty handy for when you don't wanna give certain people a lift.

mine finishes in august :no:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
