Drivers who were issued a probationary licence prior to 1 July 2007 may drive a vehicle if it is not a high powered vehicle as defined by either definition. If a vehicle is defined as high powered under one definition but not the other, it may be driven.Definition of a high powered vehicle (prior to 1 July 2007) a power to mass ratio which exceeds 125 kilowatts per tonne; or an engine capacity which exceeds 3.5 litres per tonne of the unladen mass (tare) of the motor vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradles024 Donating Members 1,145 Member For: 14y 11m 28d Gender: Male Posted 31/12/09 05:09 AM Author Share Posted 31/12/09 05:09 AM Oh and in relation to your link.The definition of a probationary prohibited vehicle changed on 1 July 2007. Drivers who obtained a probationary licence prior to 1 July 2007 can drive a vehicle, providing it is not prohibited as defined by both definitions below. Defined by BOTH definitions. Although this is some sort of a grey area, I have had many cops see me driving my phoon and havent been pulled over once, twice they followed me for about 10 minutes then just turned off. I honestly do believe I'm right, but if someone else can prove me wrong I would like to know, as I'm driving mine atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 17y 8m Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 31/12/09 06:16 AM Share Posted 31/12/09 06:16 AM The way it is worded it seems you are correct BUT on calculations practically EVERY car can be driven by P-Platers.Even a 317kw HSV GTS that weighs 1777kg's only has 3.376 litres per tonne.
