I"M POSTING THIS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ONE THING AND OTHERS ANOTHER

this is the "new victorian graduated licensing system"

i got some info from vicroads today....

*note! check with vicroads for full info and not to take this as the full new laws*

WHEN

  • alcohol interlock (read below as to what) - january 2007
  • the new L plate requirements - july 2007
  • the high powered vehicle restriction for P platers (read below) - July 2007
  • the new P1/P2 plates requirements and new driving test (read below) - july 2008
    SOME KEY CHANGE"S
    L plates...
    • must have 120 hours of experince including 10 hours at night
    • no use of moblies, hands-free or hand-held or any messaging of any kind
    • must carry learners permit whlie driving (duh)

    ****P plantes*****

    there will be 2 P plates introduced... P1 and P2 (sounds alot like b1&b2 :lol:)

    P1 plates...

    • P1 drivers are on the P1 plate for 12 months(if over 21 yr's old then you go stright to P2 plates, only if u had ur L's for 12 months
    • MUST have a good driving recored to progress through each licence stage. A POOR DRIVING RECORD EXTENDS THE P1 AND P2 LICENCE BY ***6 MONTHS***
    • for P1 drivers, towing is not permitted except for work or under instruction
    • new HIGH POWERED vehicle restriction will prevent P platers from driving vehicles with :
      engines with eight or more cylinders
      turbocharged or supercharged engines
      nominated high performance six cylinder engines
      engines that have been mod'ed to increase performance

    ***People who are over 26 and still on there P's****

    • ALL drink drivers (and first timers) will have to fit a alcohol ignition interlock when relicenced, for a minimum of six months

    VEHICLE IMPOUNDMENT

    if a driver intentionaly makes the care lose traction or unsafe behaviours (eg.. speeding, draging)

    there are now provisions that allow police or courts to impound a car...

    repeat offenders will have there cars' impound time will be longer and will be possable for the car to be forfeited.

    i dont know about the impounding... if they alppy now or what but u get the pic

i still got to get my L's yet :P

well i'm gett'n them this month

but they do suck...

no turbos :rant:

well theres a few skylines gone for me :rant:

i got to get a bloody non turbo :P

Having to buy a non-turbo? What's changed, under the old system all turbo skylines (except for a particular few years worth of R32) were on the banned list.

Meh, i got my P's last year, so the new rules don't apply to me.

They will if you decide to change cars, that is to a turbo/v8 car

P2 plates? Once your over 21 you get these? I dont quit get what your saying.

i have two cars with:

engines with eight or more cylinders

turbocharged or supercharged engines

nominated high performance six cylinder engines

engines that have been mod'ed to increase performance

and under the current restrictions i can drive them, but i wont be 21 till october next year, so.. i won't be able to drive them? Does this only apply to people who havnt got there licence yet? Or had it for what amount of time?

Very irritating..

So nothing about making the test more stringent then in the above legislation.

The test would be the first part to weed out some of the shocking drivers and keep them on L's until they are of a high enough standard for the roads. This includes under confident and over confident.

The info you have posted appears to give Vic Roads a bit more scope for banning vehicles that were previously in a loop hole.

Heading in the right direction but that alone will not solve everything.

I'm still on my p's and I have a turbo'd line cops pull me over every chance they get but they have never stoped me from driving.. They asked me if I can drive it on my p's. so I checked the list.... (about 5 months ago)I can just not a grt... I think the new list is different.. but seeing I already have the car and my p's I don't think it will effect me??

Or am I wrong :(

well its like anything with vicroads

if theres a big accident in an intersection and its a fatality all of a sudden they want to invest a quater of a million to redevelop the intersection to make it more safe. they probably dont even know why the accident occured, let alone it could actually be the drivers at fault and not the intersection

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
