p plate law changes

[redline2003]

failure to display p plates = 3 points, if u lose 5 points within a yr u could face losing ur licence(only applies to p platers), no rumour, heard an official ad for it on the radio, just keeps gettin worse.... not even small airplane pilots face this much bs

[Baileylsd]

WTF?? 3 points!!!

I really hate the government, they are such ****s

[king_kw13]

Yeah it is starting to suck arse. Phew i am off my Ps already

[sammus]

how hard is it to display your Ps ? Is the reason someone would not display them so they dont get hassled about their skyline ?

[SKYL9]

when i bought my line i was still on my p's and just about every day i would have to try to stick my rear p plate back on as it would keep falling off..

i know this doesnt seem like much but after buying a set of p's every couple of days started to bug me to the point of just leaving it on the parcel shelf..

only got fined once in the 3months b4 getting off my p's

exactly, its not hard, alright sometimes the back one falls off as stated previously, but i havent done anything to bring attention to myself so the cops can be happy that they have gotten another teen import driver

simply follow this basic, easy to understand rule, and you'll be right

display p plate = no fine

[dAVE]

display p plate = no fine

not entirely true. I have had 3 p plate fines now - every time had p plates up. only times i have ever been pulled over too. Rarely have them up and when I do I managed to get pulled over 3 times. hmm

Well there's the power to weight ratio law which works out that even a gts-t is illegal for p-plate. So if you put up p-plate in a gts-t sure you'd get pulled over more.

Even for full license I heard the law is tougher now. Only 12 points available before you loose your license instead of 18 points. I think i'll just be driving slow with one arm hanging on a steering wheel and the other slumbering on the centre console rest.

[KamikazeR33]

well guys i only have 6 points to start with on my p's and ive lost 2 already for not have a rear p plate up

in nsw it is $74 and 2 points

Yeah my younger bro got some shiit in the mail regardin the new changes.

sucks balls if u ask me. next they'll be askin u to stick huge magnet P plates on ur doors and a reflector flag on ur arial.

[sammus]

You can drive em on your Ps if you detune them cant you ? Thats what people say but are the cops actually ok with that?

[Player_Hater]

Phew ... glad im of my P's ... onli took me 6yrs not including the yrs my license was cancelled . all i can say is the governments F*#KED.

[redline2003]

ive neva heard of any detuned sky 33 being p plate legal in victoria as there is no need to detune them as if u put most stock ones on the dyno i doubt they would get more then 125kw, its the factory power figure that counts so no, no r33 or 34 gtst/gtt is legal for a p plata in vic

[Baileylsd]

i asked some local cops about powerful cars on your p-plates, all they said was "i think your not allowed to have v8's"

lol, geez i love the average australian view on cars

[sammus]

lol thats the old rule... i think.

then they realised that you dont need a v8 to be powerful

Well there's the power to weight ratio law which works out that even a gts-t is illegal for p-plate. So if you put up p-plate in a gts-t sure you'd get pulled over more.

I thought full license is always 12 points?

ffs , they are illegal its the factory figure do the math! it isnt the killowatt at the wheels when put on a dyno its the ****ing figure the factory the factory at the flywheel which is used not the wheels .....its illegal...

sorry im tired of reading its legal...

You can drive em on your Ps if you detune them cant you ? Thats what people say but are the cops actually ok with that?

you can and i got the go ahead...! but after a few weeks i took out the restriction and had it running normal power.. i did this for 2 years and never got pulled over once

edit* just re-read quote, :confused: hmm 2 different things are being said?

[HKSgtst]

how much is a fine for not sticking Ps ?

[DJ_L3ThAL]

what happens to me ???? i only have 3 points left so that leaves me siting on 9, thats 4 more than 5, does that mean when the law changes i automatically lose my licence????

[predator]

haha, i doubt it nath..

5 points, haha, that would have meant I would have lost my license about twice during my p-plate years! and since have gone on to have a pretty damn good driving record and never actually lost my license in about 8 years (other than my constant "donations" to the government).. people aren't really going to change their habits, the government is just going to annoy more people and make more money off them. Bracks is ****ed next election, and he'll probably wonder why...
