Sucks to be him, but it's probably for the best. Only time will tell if the new laws make any impact, i personally doubt it'll make a huge difference, I think it will likely increase young people being fined and suspended though.

Hay quick question guys,

I'm on my p's yes it sucks N/A are gutless anyway these under 25 restrictions is where i get lost as i have been told 2 different interpretations of the law,

1: says that i can drive a high powered vehicle when i get of my p's an onto my opens... and i only have to hold my p's for 3 years ( 1 on red 2 on green)

2: That i have to be over 25 to drive any sort of high powered vehicle

i've asked queensland transport and they tell me a different thing each time i'm in there just hoping any of you guys could shead some light on this law and what it means....

I've been lucky to be on my open licence for few years now, unfortunately my wife only got her P's about 8 months ago meaning she has all the restrictions... YAY. We got our Stagea a couple months before she got her licence (luckily we kept our SSS pulsar for her. I would rather her be driving the Stagea then the SSS but unfortunately she can't LEGALLY. Yes she has driven it a few times on her P's, mostly around the corner store or sometimes if we go to a party and I end up having a few drinks I let her drive. Only suggestion I make is for her not to put the P plates on it and drive sensibly (which she does cause it usually has our 2 year old in it and she is scared of the power)

Thing I find funny is that an L plater can learn in any vehicle they want but then they get restricted on there P's...

Also, I am guilty of driving around town with P plates still on the SSS. Currently the Stagea is off the road so we are sharing the SSS and I couldn't be bothered taking the plates off for a drive to work or down the street. Funny thing is you can tell people act differently when they see the P plate's. Many a time, I have people pull out in front of me or cut me off and you can see them look over see the plates, and next minute they are abusing me for their mistake. Also the other day, had a P plater come around a corner on the wrong side of the road making me have to come to complete stop. He seen that I was apparently a P plater so him and his freind thought it was funny and laughed about it till I abused them as they went past. Got upset when I returned the hand gesture he gave me out the window and proceeded to chase me.. Makes me laugh, probably at least 10 years older than him. Also have a lot of oldies pull up at lights and THEY want to race, guess they just want another P plater off the road for street racing..

/End rant

(In no way do I condone driving illegally. I know the risks I am taking driving with P plates displayed and am fully prepared to take the consequences without bitching.)

Yeah, i really don't see what wearing a P plate does to make my drive safer. It certainly labels me and degrades my driving experience though, i've had many occasions with people who "have to get infront" of me. Luckily i drive a 4WD, so noone wants to race me.

Is your wife over 25yrs old?? as isnt that what the 25yr old rule is... Like you cant drive a high powered/turbo car on your p's [unless your over 25yrs old] well thats how i thought it was....

I was a lucky one and got my P's before the new rules came in so i got a 33 turbo on my p's =] gotta love scraping ina year before the rules came out

      Neostead, I'm looking to have a custom surround done that also has a slot for a fog light. Would you be willing to create a 3d model I can buy or create and ship me the part or even provide/sell the current model for me to modify? Cheers

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Did some maintenance on the MX5, did the engine oil and filter which was uneventful, then I drained the coolant to put in the new reservoir and a thermostat, reservoir took 5 minutes  The thermostat, well that took.........3 bloody hours, what a job, the issue was the 3 bolts holding it on, one was easy, 2 were hidden and required a few 1/4 drive extensions, 1 more than I had, and a 1/4 swivel, which I also didn't have, and a good amount of playing contortionist  Getting the 2 unseen bolts back on was a time consuming nervous nightmare, as I couldn't see where they went there was alot of stabbing and hoping for the best, trying to line up a 8 mm bolt straight, which you cannot actually see or get a hand in there, with a 1/4 swivel in the mix was a nightmare Anyways, it's done now, all burped out, and run up to temp a few times, happily no leaks thank Jebus After the thermostat fiasco I decided I need a few mental health days away from tools before doing the rest of the servicing on it As for the Dunnydoore, it had the aircon regassed and it has a clean bill of health, thinking about taking it out on Monday for a cruise down the coast to look at some houses if weather permits

      Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau

      By Duncan · Posted

      In other important race car news, instead of fixing the race car I changed the crank seals on the chainsaw, because wood burner Some damn tight (and lock tighted) m6 head bolts Who knew plastic crank cases were a thing! Quick tip, don't trust the youtube videos that say you can pull the old seals out with the head on in a husky 440e...not true, their crank seal tucks in behind the cover both sides. I'm not sure I'm a psychopath, but these things are damn loud....hope I can put all the bits back in the right place    Happily, it is now back to turning fallen trees into a combination of firewood logs and wood chips....just need a clear day to get into it properly

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Duncan · Posted

      Don't forget to make sure the tank is full to the brim before you try to replace the fuel pump too, that is an essential step.
