Question Bout P Plates And Turbo's

[paulmac]

gday all i'm currently living in adelaide and will be moving to brisbane soon, one of my mates has told me a p plater isnt allowed to drive a turbo charged vehicle or a v8 is this true?

[astrotristan]

yeh mate unfortunate but true

came in like a year and a half or so ago - so if u didnt get your licence before then - no turbos for 3years

(cept turbo diesel - if thats your thing)

i was lucky XD

Adelaide

and you may have a chance of an exception if you owned the car and moved as in Adelaide if i remember they dint have turbo laws or is that WA

[jase-r34]

^^^ yeah what he said. That's what I was wondering as well. If you owned it legally down there and moved here can they do anything about it??

[Damit]

only thing i can suggest though is http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/

and i wish you good luck

If you owned your provisional license before July 2008 your all set. after then, your screwed as you will be put on to p1 or p2 (turbo and 8cyl restriction, as well as late night restrictions as far as passengers). Speaking as a current provisional license turbo car owner....

ok well that sucks i might just keep it registered here and and keep my south australian license until its full, yeah south australia doesnt have any turbo laws we dont even have RWC's or anything like that, just trying to get my head around it all think best option is to keep a P.O box in S.A somewhere and leave it registered here

[sunnycoast]

Don't even have RWC's

I got through on the Pre-July 2008 rule I was previously on a P1 in NSW so there's a double benefit for me.

When did you own the car? If you've owned and continue to own the vehicle before 30 June 2007, then you're in!

Here's a few fact sheets and links that should have most of the definitive answers, if that doesn't answer your question then contact QT, though applying for an exemption would probably end up being the way to go.
