Keegs Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 because we're cool QLD we arent doing the power to weight ratio thing like in other states. According to the Transport site they are excluding v8's, Turbos and "high peformance" cars. They're putting up a list later this year. I can hardly wait. Id say its a fair bet that nana's corolla/lancer will be all thats left off. I think they'll be pretty thorough with it.

mad082 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) but in victoria they have a list of cars too. but then they have the rule for cars that aren't on the list.

Del Sol Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) No matter what goes on the list, there will always be workarounds (usually made by Honda ). And going for blanket restrictions such as "V8" or "turbo" creates the problem of including cars that aren't even performance cars at all.

mad082 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i'm wondering whether turbo diesels will be included on the banned list. while they aren't the most powerful things in the world some of them do still have a fair bit of get up and go, while others couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Keegs Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 meh, find someone in nsw...go down there, list as address...get license under their rules. Problem solved for everyone only just getting their license. Of course I dont suggest this...I think it might be dodgy and possibly not legal.

Keegs Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Update: bad luck to anyone getting their p's after July 1, even if you currently own a high performance car you can't drive it....say hello to even cheaper prices for imports and performance cars...no more teen racers. Bad luck to anyone on your l's getting your p's you have to wait until you're on your opens.

Silver_R34_GT-T Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 The two men at the motorshow representing QLD transport said the new rules dont effect current P platers, Only NEW P platers..

The P1, P2, P3 bullsh*t only comes in after July 1 and hence power restrictions only apply to people that obtain their P's after that date!

ze_flexy_1 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 These apply from 1 July 2007Key changes will include: -peer passenger restrictions (only carrying one passenger aged under 21) from 11pm to 5am for P1 under 25 -late night driving and other restrictions for disqualified and suspended young drivers Thankfully, according to information any person who has their p's license before 1 july 2007 will have no restrictions. You know what i realise?....for those under 25 thier means of safety when going out at night not just clubbing will actually be more jeopardised.....what ever happened to organising a designated driver? This new law means your having a nanny night and taking everyone home before 11...........Or if in particular your a girl like me, some means of "alternative" transport isnt allways the safest bet either.....look at the new ACA offenders of bus drivers, other drunken males on buses, trains.....and also some sex offending taxi drivers. Instead of being able to trust those near and dear to us we are forced to trust strangers when were out at night. Im definatly not going to stay out til 5am till i can give my firends a ride.....that one i just dont get people. Two people per car late at night is ok.....but isnt brisbane currently going through a traffic and population crisis?.....Arnt they trying to get more cars OFF the road? someone enlighten me please.

I'll just put this law in then I can own them all at the lights lol. (Sarcasm on the internet) I can only hope when they realise that this new system doesn't change their much beloved statistics they'll remove it, but we all know it won't happen.
