Quick Question,

[mikey1717]

hey guys, got a quick question,can green P plates drive turbo?

like at the back of your licence it says you cant drive prohibited vehicles,

but it is removed, and you get pulled over by cops, would they still know through the computer?

Yes they will know via the MDT and/or Radio.

Prohibited vehicles

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The condition applies to provisional licences issued on or after 11 July 2005

[mikey1717]

but before the new rules cameout, green Ps is allowed to drive turbo, my friends licence, doesnt say anything.

and a friend told me that , the computers dont show if your allowed to drive turbo or not, it only shows on the licence.

[d00dz]

Yes before the Prohibited vehicles Law came out (11 July 2005) P1 AND P2's where allowed to drive Turbo cars. There was no markings of any restrictions on their license.

But the date is clear 11 July 2005. If you received your license before that date then you can drive turbo cars (ie. L's before 11 July 2005)

So you are asking if if can drive Turbo cars or not? See above.. comment.

Have a read of some other similar threads.

im a greey p and im allowed to drive turbo only cuz i got my red p's before the new law kicked in...

i double checked with RTA before purchasing the car and i was fine with it....i got my red p's prob at the end of 2005 or something?

BTW: on the license it should say condition "Y" if ur on turbo ban.

if you are driving a turbo car on a licence that was issued after the new laws came in then you need to show that you are exempt. they give you a paper that you MUST have in the car at all times to show that you are exempt, so it doesn't mean a damn thing if your licence doesn't have any of the markings that it should.

You might get away with it. You might not.

If you come across a cop that does all the checks then expected to get reamed for more than just driving a turbo.

mmm not worth the risk, If you get caught they can probably slaughter you for altering your licence or something.

[s13_Skyline_inside]

im not sure about this but they'd probably do you for driving unlicenced or sum sh*t cause you wouldnt have a licence to drive a turbo car, its just not worth it imo

[nzm033]

if u got ur reds before the turbo ban then u can drive turbo assuming u havent been suspended or lost ur licence

i got my reds 2 days before the turbo ban and then got my green P's........then i got RBT'ed and the cop looked on his computer and didnt say anything about the turbo thing

so im pertty sure when u get ur greens u can still drive turbo

[mikey1717]

yeah

im on my reds atm drivin gts4..

getting greens soon. so yeahh wat you said it only shows on the card, but when they check the computers i dont think it shows weather you can drive turbo or not..

im not 100% sure.. gota wait 2 years for full liences which is a bitch.! =(

[d00dz]

so im pertty sure when u get ur greens u can still drive turbo

Correct.

To quote myself:

Provisional licenses (Ps) are a min of 3 years.

According to the below...If you received your "Ps" before 11 July 2005 then you do not have any restrictions in regards to cars

If you received your P1 (Red Ps) before 11 July 2005 and then got your P2 (Green Ps) after 11 July 2005 you still do not have any restrictions in regards to cars.

If however you had your L's before 11 July 2005 then got you got your P1's after 11 July 2005 then you are restricted to certain vehicles.

Well that's my logical deduction.

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The condition applies to provisional licences issued on or after 11 July 2005. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.

If you hit someone while driving a car you're not licensed to drive, expect to get reamed even harder in multiple ways when you have to pay that victim's medical expenses out of own pocket because you're not covered by CTP.

yeh thats what i was thinking, since you be driving a car your not licenced to drive then they'd prob do you for uninsured and all that shit even if they did pull you over, and yes cops can check up on you on their computer in the car, thats why they get your licence and go back to their car for a bit, check your record etc

Just $400 for driving a prohibited vehicle and another $600 for altering a licence...............

[michadoo]

I have my green p's and can drive turbo's but i had my red's before the laws came in...

I was thinking that as soon as these new laws came in I would be hassled a hell of a lot more by the cops cause of me driving a skyline with p's...but quiet the opposite... I have probably been pulled over 2 in the 12 months... none of which questiond me about the restriction... prior to the new laws i swear i used to get pulled over every weekend just for rbt n to check the car...

[s13_Skyline_inside]

$400 huh, its not as bad as i though it might be then, didn know for sure just speculating

[HOT_R33]

I thought that dealers weren't allowed to sell V8 or Turbo charged vehicles to P plate licence holders who's licence was issued after the laws came into effect. Can anyone confirm this?

[trism]

i dont think theyd have that right would they? the right to check a license? if a person has cash then i reckon the dealer will sell it to them...
