Regulation on High Performance Cars for ALL P-platers?

[Russkie]

Hey guys...

im not sure if this question has been asked before but im meant to be buying an 96 model r33 tomorrow after my old one was written off due to an accident, but my aunty was telling me they are going to introduce a ban on high performance cars for ALL p-platers, is this true?

i thought it was only for red p's which was meant to be introduced early this year or it might have already been introduced

if anyone knows more info would be good

cheers alek

Banning high performance cars - as in cars over the power:weight ratio?

If they bring in the policy on banning turbocharged cars for green P-platers, im just going to take my plates off, I really don't care. I'm sick of constantly hearing about it. I'll take my chances that I won't get pulled over

Let me get this straight........ Their making new laws so there will be 2 types of P plates? Also are they banning high performance cars? What sort? What would be classified as "high performance"? How long will you have to keep the other P's for?

I didn't think it was in yet?

All I heard was that if you buy or own your car before the law comes in it doesn't apply to you, and it's only for red P platers in NSW.

I was reading something about this in the paper today, supposably, the ban is coming in start of next year. So if you have your car before then, they cant make you sell it.

The new restrictions only apply to NSW, the restriction on performance vehicles will only apply to first year p-platers (ie. red P's), if you already own a high performance car or you drive a family / work car you will be exempt from these restrictions and last but not least THEY WILL NOT BE BRINGING IN ANY CURFEWS FOR ANY P-PLATERS!!!

This proposal was just too unpopular so they are scrapping it, however passenger restrictions may be a possibility. (restricted to carrying just one passenger if you loose your licence and then get it pack.)

I hope this helps to clear a few things up.

If you have any concers over the new laws you can contact the Australian Drivers Group at www.ozdrive.org.
