Need Help Asap

[ignuz]

Hey guys, i've put a deposit down for an R33 GTS, manual

Now.. i'm from NSW and already have my Automatic Provisional License...

I got the line because, i would like to learn manual and then get my P's on a manual for assorted reasons...

I am curious... what are the laws regarding this...

Do i simply learn it, go to the RTA and take the manual test? Or are there some other complications?

I was speaking to a friend from VIC and he said down there after you have your Red P's (auto) you can't apply for a manual license until you have your full license..

But, i know in NSW after a year on your red P's, you're allowed to drive a manual regardless of whether or not you have a manual license..

The big issue for me here is, am i allowed to resit my test for a manual car after having already recieved my auto license? ( I haven't held my auto license for a year)

I have checked the RTA website.. but the information i have found is already known to me..

P1 licence, signified by a red P plate, is issued for 18 months

Be restricted to driving an automatic transmission car or clutchless manual (depending on the vehicle in which the DART is undertaken).

( I can't find anything saying you can't resit the DART )

well in the ACT after the first year of your p's you can just drive a manual, well that use to be the old rule, just ring your RTA shop front and ask

Call up the RTA and find out man. I got my P's in a Auto and was told if i wanted a manual license i had to rebook a driving test in a manual later. BUT that was like 3 years ago so i dont know if they've changed it.

Basically i dislocated my shoulder 2 days before my Licencse test so I had to do it on an auto (Did it to my left arm) anyhow latter on when my shoulder was all better I did my test for the Manual. I had to re-do the driving test on a manual.............now im not sure if the R33 GTS is classified as a high performance 6 cylinder car...........if it is your not allowed to drive one under the new laws.

If you got your P's before the new laws came in then your fine otherwise your rooted.

And yes once you get onto your green P's they automatically give you the right to drive in a Manual anyhow.

This is the best of my knowledge as of 1 to 2 years ago........things may have changed since then........

You are able to drive manual with a full licenced driver passenger, And yes you can re-book/sit the test.
