bubba Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I love it how some of the p-platers who are complaining so much about losing their fulli sik turbo under the proposed laws are on their 3rd provisional license already..

Mayuri Krab Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Well I'm still on my 1st P, only did my licensing after year 1 Uni. & on my 10month on my P I got no fines, & the main car I drove was the R33. So I think I can handle the R33 fine. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228761-p-plate-laws-and-recent-crash/page/9/#findComment-4050587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Dukes- Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) So anyone know, when these power bans will come into affect (some guys at uni were saying that its planned for the end of the year)? or is it still in the "planning" stages, as I can't find any info on the WA licensing website.Hope it only affects the drivers who got their Ps after the effective date, otherwise I got no car to drive ... just like now... Lol, no... These changes won't be made for another 2 years or so... Thats how long laws take to change. Even for something more important than "p-plater laws" take ages and ages to come into effect. It's just the system. EDIT: also has the premier or the opposition said anythinh about it yet??? cause you don't have to worry about what the police and cannel 7 think, at the end of the day its in the hands of alan carpenter and troy chairsniffer Edited August 1, 2008 by -Dukes- Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228761-p-plate-laws-and-recent-crash/page/9/#findComment-4051763 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaunc Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I am almost sertain that if u were on your P plates and u own a performance car they could not tell u cant drive it. I think it will be that your not allowed to buy a high performance car until u of P. So if u already had one u should be fine. They cant make u sell something if u already own it or am I wrong??????

Assuming they do it like the other states, you would be correct. If you already had it in your name, you can get an exemption. And you will no doubt be stopped by every second cop asking to see the exemption lol.

s2k12 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Lol true. Anyway, since this is somewhat related.. Since when is cutting a corner something they can take your licence for? A mate just got done for it tonight in his $400 excel (his zed is off the road). Since he's on P's, he will have to do his L's again in 6 months when the suspension is over. Unless he contests it, which I'm trying to get him to do. Also, seeing as I'm in a ranting mood, there's no f**king "end roadworks" sign on the bit of Tonkin where roadworks are. I was doing 40, passed them, still no sign to say I could speed up, kept doing 40.. Eventually sped up to the non-roadworks limit while being paranoid about being hoon-lawed for doing 100 in a 40 zone. Damn laws are making me more paranoid and focusing on being legal more than being safe lol..

Mayuri Krab Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Same here, I'm always on the look out for speed cams & every time I pass by one, I get paranoid that my speedo is not working right & I might be doing 61km/h instead of 60km/h as show on the speedo. So far so good... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228761-p-plate-laws-and-recent-crash/page/9/#findComment-4054345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Don't get me started on sticking to the speed limits and being safe! I have had the belief for a long time that if you're constantly looking at your speedo to make sure you don't get flashed then you're not looking at the road enough!

I almost hit a pole on L's for that exact reason LOL. But I'm willing to sacrifice safety for a clean licence, especially knowing how f**ked I would be if I ever wanted to get a job that involves driving. My mate with the excel that lost his licence will now be jobless too, unless he contests it and manages to keep his licence.

bubba Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Haven't they brought in a thing where you can opt for a 12month double or nothing good behaviour bond or something instead of losing your license? i.e. you land a 6month suspension, you can opt for a 12month good behaviour bond where if you get caught for anything you get double the original suspension? I heard they were doing this and getting rid of Extraordinary licenses..
