im a bit curious to exactly how these laws work.

i hear if u get ur Ps in QLD or SA there are no car restrictions.

does this only apply if u live there or only if u get ur licience there.

and can u upgrade from a VIC L to a QLD or SA P?

thanks guys

Well just off the top of my head I can think of a few problems:

You would have to do your test in Queensland. If you did it in Victoria, then to apply for a qld licence, you would have to go into a qld transport office to fill in the appropriate paper work.

You would have to convince them you are a Queenslander, with evidence of where you live. you can't just put down a postcode, you need a full address.

Your Drivers Licence is your main form of ID. You need to show it when you do anything important with anybody (Gov. agency, bank, etc.). Which would mean you are a Queenslander to them.

I'm not sure how you would get registration for a car in Victoria when you have a Queensland licence. Or insurance for that matter, considering your licence says you live somewhere other than where the car is kept. Could cause problems.

These are just things off the top of my head. In short it is near impossible. Don't bother even thinking about it.

i think QLD transport is thinking of doing the same thing pretty soon. for those who have got their Ps, its not gonna be a problem. BUT if u get it after they bring in the restriction, it would be pretty tough.

So i would say give QLD transport a call and find out what u need to obtain a QLD drivers license. Im pretty sure u do need a residential address as u have to prove u live here.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
