If you drive like a tool they'll know. I'm not a P plater, but I was 22 when I bought my T, and the only time I've been pulled over was once for speeding <15km/h over the limit. The other times have all been after midnight where a cop car has followed me and pulled me over for RBT purposes.Drive safe mate, and keep a good head on ya shoulders.. it's a lot of power for a P plater.←I certainly don’t intend this to be interpreted as cop-bashing, but they do target these vehicles especially if they notice a young male driving.Several times I have been waved through RBT’s only for them to realise the demographic of the driver and then pull me over at the last minute. I have also been pulled up on the highway for a “friendly chat” numerous times.I can’t blame them though - most people my age in high performance vehicles are absolute tools.←Like.....errmm.....since when is 40+ "young male"?

The officer questioned my XR being a 6 after hearing the exhaust as I rolled up, which could be considered a compliment I guess. He then walked around the rear of the car and spotted the lovely red badge. He asked who's car it was, I replied, "mine", he then warned me by recommending I query vic roads about power to weight restrictions on probationary drivers. According to him, it's a $150 fine every time you are caught breaking this restriction, not sure about demerits though. The officer writing down the number plates also had a good look, before also writing mine down. I bet he highlighted it too.I think I'll drive my '93 ED for a couple weeks. They'll be after me I'd say. October is too far away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
