Thread: Interstate road rules or licence conditions?

How would I know, NT only got a maximum speed limit in January and demerit points started in July and they let people get their licence at 16

My guess is that the answer you will get will be the one you least want to hear.

Are you blokes allowed to do 110ks over there???? I thought that was a WA thing,you eastern staters were stuck with 100ks,Im sure 100 was tops when we visited Vic.
Did you guys go up to 110 with the national rules?

Nope, 100 is the State limit on rural roads etc where not marked otherwise, but on most Dual carriageway interstate freeways the limit is 110.

Mr Speaker my question is directed at the NSW members for AULRO

Now as I understand NSW Learners may only drive up to a maximum speed of 80km/h. Is that a law that applies to driving on those roads within the state or a condition on the licence? So when Mr NSW Ls person goes into Victoria, say on the Hume, are they still required to 80 or 110? Conversely can Victoria learners be normal and do 110 through NSW or do they need to be like their NSW counterparts and do 80 as well?

On a more relevant point can Vic's on Ps drive at 110 in NSW or do they get subjected to the NSW regulation of a maximum speed of 90?

I asked a VicRoads, the so called "RTA", a Vic policeman and a NSW cop and they all referred each other to each other and I await an answer

Cooma is far enough away without having to add 22.3% to the travel time piddling along a safe dual carriageway freeway

Unless things have changed, I found (while I lived in Victoria and the kids were learning to drive and we were driving in NSW) the more restrictive rules apply in general - i.e. specifically, the NSW speed limits apply to interstate L and P drivers (and expect this to be enforced, particularly over Easter), and also apply to NSW drivers while interstate (although I doubt this is enforced). However, a 17 y.o. NSW P plater in Victoria IS allowed to drive, but only in a NSW registered car. (When we first had a learner in the car we were not aware of the restricted speed in NSW - but we were lucky and got away with it!)

I was under the impression that a Vic L/D was only allowed to drive in Vic

Im fairly sure you have to abide by the said state laws you are driving in so in short when in rome do as the romans do sorry mate enjoy the country side as you cruise along at 80 ks

When we had our farm at Tocumwal, my 2 younger brothers got their licence at 17 even though we lived in Melbourne- i wish i had though about it at the time .
