If I was 19 like you though I can say most definately that I wouldn't stand for these P Plate laws either.... not a chance! There's always a way around.

His reason was that he was a financial consultant and needed to look prestigious when visiting clients. He got his boss's signature and it was all good. This was in NSW, I'm sure it's not too different for Vic.It also helps if the high powered vehicle is the only vehicle that you own.

f68u Member 22 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Posted 21/05/09 02:30 AM Share Posted 21/05/09 02:30 AM (edited) The fact of the matter is you arn't legally able to drive a FPV on your P plates.The new P plate laws don't allow you to drive anything force induction/v8's. ( Red plates ) apart from like a smart car/volvo.Green P platers can drive high powered cars as long as its subject to 125kw per ton.If you have a smash in a FPV, which the insurance company knows you where driving it on your P's or the police are called and do a report you where driving it.YOU WON"T BE COVERED! If you have a minnor dint in the shopping center car park and say your dad was driving you will be fine.I admit its wrong. Insureance companys will still take your money and "Cover you" but your not covered.It's just a expensive gamble.Remeber its not illegal to own a FPV on your p's its just illegal to drive one.For all the insureance company knows you have the vehicle locked up in your garage or use it as a mock up drive-in in your TV room.that's why they get away with it.It's like if you had a smash if you where drink driving. The fact of the matter is if your not legally fit or not ment to be driving.Your not covered. Edited 21/05/09 02:37 AM by f68u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance companies will insure you but when it comes time to make a claim you are farked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f68u Member 22 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Posted 21/05/09 02:59 AM Share Posted 21/05/09 02:59 AM Also with this whole " in my dad's business sh*t"The process is so long winded it isn't funny.You have to have letters from ex about of mount of people to back up your claim.Plus I've herd they even send a Vic road rep on site tooThey will only give it out if there is no one else to drive theses vehicles full stop.Alot of guys doing apprenticeships at caryards try to get it and they can't even.I tryed back when I was 18. All you needed was a letter and a ABN number.Hence you used to see alot of 4 year apprentice driving around in new SS utes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
