thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 5m 7d Location: Gold Coast Posted 12/06/07 04:18 AM Share Posted 12/06/07 04:18 AM Is to do with age & the govt banning young people driving high HP cars??If that's the case you'll have no insurance, so you'd be better to sell the car up or park it until you're old enough!How old r u?

When I was driving from the autobody shop to work I got pulled over. Im 20 and I am insured, do you think because im not allowed to drive the car legally im not insured? They said all was OK and I even made a claim the other day when someone hit me?The new law that comes into effect on the 1st of July is no turbo, supercharged or performance enhanced vehicles during your probationary period. Turbocharged diesel cars are excluded from this. In Victoria at the moment P platers have a power to weight rule on certain cars and are banned from driving them. The XR6T is one of them.

Here in NSW its nearly $500 and a whopping 7 points, which is an automatic licence suspension!Somebody said they were pleased they didnt live in VIC, but we up here would all be happy with that sort of fine.

Im probably wrong...shnaped second, it doesnt matter what age your are when you are on your P's you should be abiding by this rule regardless, But yeah I kinda understand what your saying! So if you get your P's at 18 years old you cannot drive one till after your 21st bday (3 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
