P Plate Turbo Restrictions

[Jinzo]

Hi. I just bought a R33 GTS-T but I got my green P Plates after the ban. So my options are:

a) Take out the turbo.

b) Leave the turbo in there and drive it around until I get a fine.

What should I do? Is it worth paying the fine? And what are the penalties.

Thanks

Options

Sell the car buy a non turbo

or

Drive the car, prepared to get totally raped by cops once, twice, three times untill you stop driving a turbo car on your Ps.....

Taking out the turbo will still mean the car is Registered as a turbo....

Up shit creek without a paddle my friend

Sorry for being harsh.

Why the f**k did you buy a restricted car for ?

You can't insure it, and if you hit or KILL someone you WILL be f**ked - NO INSURANCE. So in theory if you hit a person, and then they require a million dollars would of medical bills, you have to (or your parents) fork out a million dollars.

You sure you want to f**k your life this early ?

The rules restricting young drivers from owning turbo cars are there so you don't have to die a virigin. You should never of even considared this car.

echo exactly AndyMac's comments.

Even if you got around insurance by not disclosing...its not legal, goooooooooooooooooooooone.

Sell car and buy non turbo - seriously, its not worth the hassles.

am i reading wrong? you got your green P's after the restriction was put into place?

That means that your not affected by the new rules?

The rule applies to the people who FIRST get their license after the rule has been put in place.. with was like 2-3 years ago around june some time.

You can tell if your on the restrictions on ur license.. it has a y or some letter on the front under the conditions and at the back it says the restriction. If it is the case that you are on the restriction list: as above. u don't just get a fine.. you loose ur license as well in 1 go

Did you have your P's before the ban? i thought ban was for new p platers?

Hi. I just bought a R33 GTS-T but I got my green P Plates after the ban.

Did you have your P1 (Red Ps) prior to 11 July 2005?

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The condition applies to provisional licences issued on or after 11 July 2005. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.

This going to make me sound old...

But how long now do you have to be on red P's?

If he has just got green P's, it means he has been on red P's for "x"amount of time....

[GMan]

hahaha...in same boat as u my friend

fine is obviously loss of license with 3 months suspension on first offence. you will lose 7 points for driving prohibited vehicle and then more points attached for other things..like no p-plates, speeding etc. according to one cop i spoke to, he said fines are around 700 but according to another, he said round 400 or so....

this might sound bit funny but my brother still lost his licence for prohibited vehicle in a NONturbo car lol...lets just say 86 sprinter built top to bottom and 3 defects papers just to list the modifications that were spotted..lol mate thats 7points in one hit with a $550 ish fine. not worth it if u need to drive for work, etc. prohibited vehicle is a term refering to ANY vehicle that a cop reckons you arnt allowed to drive. that includes ya mums barina with a pod filter if the cop was having his rags...

yea thats true as a pod is a performance modification. if u lose ur license coz of that then dat cop is a f*khead...

i got pulled over last week in my r34 gt-t last week for speeding. as i am not allowed to drive my car, i decided i had everything to lose anyways, so i decided to be a smartass to the cop. he looked at my license and then gave me with a warning for speeding and also not displaying my p plates. so lucky there....

Provisional licenses (Ps) are a min of 3 years.

According to the below...If you received your "Ps" before 11 July 2005 then you do not have any restrictions in regards to cars

If you received your P1 (Red Ps) before 11 July 2005 and then got your P2 (Green Ps) after 11 July 2005 you still do not have any restrictions in regards to cars.

If however you had your L's before 11 July 2005 then got you got your P1's after 11 July 2005 then you are restricted to certain vehicles.

Well that's my logical deduction.
