Green P's, passenger restrictions, no mods till ya 21, no boost, no late nights driving around, fuel @ $1.65 a litre!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of cars kids!!!

For the new drivers, none of that till 22! Remember you've got 4 years on Ps now. And by then (Edit: by then, I mean July), petrol will probably be at $2 a litre.

Im going all aftermarket on my green p's ass, im spraying mine blue!!! might add a few Kw to the wheels... im hopping so anyhow :)

Man i think its kinda stupid that we get them....like you'd think it would be easier for us to retain our P plates (red) and just give the new ones to the newer p platers. I don't know how this is going to come out on the back of my tinted windows either. Might not even show.

Im doing one of the 6 steps involved aswell! im writing a letter on my Red p's and sending it into Vic roads to tell them just how much they suck balls.

Hate Vic roads with a passion.....i don't know if anyone else is with me on that, but i had alot of bad run ins with them, and yeh....just absolutely dogs balls service and they all look like they been poppin bikkies the night before when you see em working (down at south oakliegh anyhow)

Just my 2 cent's...

Think i might put up my old L's my red P's and my Green ones jus to confuse the shit out of everyone, cause i pretty much am dead set confused, i know we retain the old laws...but when the new p's for 1st of July and after drivers come out...what do they get after the first year is over????!!!!! (since they have 4 years) do they get green p's too!? (like NSW)...but thing is even then, they still have newer laws when they'll be on greenies....which makes no sense, therefore will there be 3 types of P plates now ????!! gah.... :wacko: someone at vic roads needs to be publically excecuted for this.

Hey mate, I agree with you - the new green plates look arse! And yeah, I agree once again, it would have made more sense for us current P-platers to keep our red plates with the newbies being given the new green ones. Actually, correct if I am wrong; but weren't they going to do exactly this - I can swear I read somewhere that people getting their P's after the 1st of July 2008 will be on a new P's (e.g. these green ones) and they would therefore have to stay on for 1 year longer or something... Or, I could have been mistaken - it might be that they go on their red P's for 3 years with the final year being on their green P's (like us people) - anyways, someone can confirm this.

Despite them looking like a donkey's arse, you can't change the colour of your P's - e.g., those white background P's with the red letter - 100% illegal and you can get fined for them.

If you have a tinting problem like me - I suggest and the cops themselves have suggested this many time - stick the P's on the outside - don't know about you guys, but if I'm on my P's (which I am by the way), I'd stick it outside to avoid a $155 fine and loss of 2 demerit points. I personally used a big piece of bluetac in the centre of the P plate and just apply water to the edges, push it down really hard and as it dries, it will harden and will not fall off.

I can give a stuff about VicRoads, just wanna do my time and get off these stupid P plates - when you're 26 and still on your P's, makes you look like an arse riding a tricycle imo. :D

Well, the new laws kick in midnight 30/6 so make sure they're on that night or you'll be fined and lose 2 demerits points for forgetting to upgrade to a gayer colour!! :)

And oh, by the way the "six ways to dispose of your RED Plates" thing is gay... as we're still freaken on our bloody P's - would have made sense if something like this was sent to us when we get off our P's... lol

got them today in the mail as well.. blahh its so confusing, everyone got used to the idea of Green P's being the shit ones.. dont know why they insist on thousands of people to use green plates instead of red when its much easier if they left us on red and gave the green to the new guys so you know for sure they're the passenger restrictor types.. really bad idea from vicroads on this one

yea agree with you there, i geuss we can blame it on the older generations as well as they all started this, ask ur older brothers some one thats like in there 30 to 40 and tell them what they did to cars i ask my boss about it and he said he always did stupid shit and he even admitted u can blame on us older generations for starting all this dragging and illegal stuff because they did it befor us young generation.

stupid laws, i mean i got car registerd and i had to go from dande to oaklie to get a seat belt which had a tag, fkn bs i say, only 1 thing wrong and it was seat belt just because tag was cut it wasnt aus standards other side had it should it matter if my side did lol. my old seat belt was good and nothin wrong with it. i was shatterd when i had to do that bah waste of time too, but i got seat belt and they didint even looked at it propperly all they said was , " YEA IT LOOKS NEW" i was like bah waste of time and money

im glad i got the old laws where im only on 3 years! cause i plan to get my 34gtr when 20! to start working on it. i cant wait.. under 2 years to go.. woo! reckon green p platers are gonna be less targetted than the red ones now? kinda so were seen as the 'good' p plates lol.. so i hope

They're swapping red to green and what not to match NSW, NSW have less restrictions on green... If you change to green you still only on them for 3 years not 4.

yeah thats what i think aswel.. my driving instructor said it was likely to happen cause people on the new laws have new restrictions

so police will wanna check them when they see them..

This all sucks for the P-platers out there... I can see why there are these new rules, but they are fairly f*kn ridiculous...

Im sick of authorities creating new rules to police a minority.. :D happening all too often lately in all aspects of enjoying yourself!

At least Vicroads don't make you pick these plates up between their work friendly office hours of 9-4 of whatever they are!! :D

i was out with mates last nite that i havnt seen since from highschool. and now i understand why these laws are cumming in.

the amount of f*kn dickheads out there....doing burnouts through residential streets at 4am, and laps around schools sideways is just unbelievable.

one of em even at a set of lights with 4 cars behind him just starts doing a burnout, filling the entire intersection with smoke...and just drives off....i was speechless.

it makes my blood boil that these ppl wreck it for us

i thought i was a hoon for having a loud exhaust but my god.....its crazi. :D

im seriously gonna be using hat hoon hotline......

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
