QUOTE (DOHC @ 9 minutes, 8 seconds ago) | What is a P plater? |
In Australia there are four levels of licenses. There's the L-plates which you start with and you gain those by doing a knowledge test when you turn 16 (age might change to 16 and 9 months) and you must do at least 100 hours of day driving and 20 hours of night driving. After you have done all those hours and finished off your logbook and it's been a year, you can then proceed to go do your red P's test which is more physical driver with someone from the RTA accompanying you. You hold those for a year and then you can get your green P's for two years and basically the same thing. After you have completed all qualifications, you finally get your full license.
L for Learner and P for Provisionary.

Prettttttty much. Although from what I've read somewhere V6 is only now allowed for red P's not green, but then again I could be wrong.
You are allowed, however, to attain a permit allowing you to drive restricted cars. Heard it's around $1000/year.

QUOTE | Vehicle and passenger conditions for P1 and P2 licence holders
The NSW Government has introduced prohibited vehicle and passenger conditions for provisional licences to keep novice drivers safe on our roads. The prohibited vehicle and passenger conditions are described below.
Prohibited vehicles
The prohibited vehicle condition restricts provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain high performance vehicles. The condition applies to provisional licences issued on or after 11 July 2005. The scheme aims to prohibit young driver access to vehicles that are overrepresented in young driver crashes.
Prohibited vehicles are those with:
Eight or more cylinders (except diesel). A turbocharged engine (except diesel). A supercharged engine (except diesel). Engine performance modifications that require an engineers' certificate. Certain high performance six cylinder engine vehicles or other vehicles as described in the publication Novice Drivers - High Performance Vehicle Restrictions. The following vehicles are not prohibited vehicles and may be driven by provisional licence holders:
Suzuki Cappuccino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 698cc (released between 1/01/1992 - 1/12/1997). Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible Turbo 4 659cc (released from 1/10/2003). Smart vehicles (all models). If you are unsure whether your vehicle is prohibited or you would like more information about P1 and P2 licence conditions phone 13 22 13. |
Australia is a b*tch. If the car itself is registered under a full-licensed driver, then I think it's okay.
