Restrictions on driving high powered vehicles

If you are a probationary driver and obtained your licence after 1 July 2007, you can't drive a vehicle with:

• An engine of eight or more cylinders
• A turbocharged or supercharged engine
• An engine that has been modified to improve the vehicle's performance.
• One of the nominated high performance six cylinder vehicles which include BMW M and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z, Porsche (all models) and Mercedes Benz SLK350.

If you get caught driving any of these vehicles, you'll have to pay a fine and you'll receive three demerit points.
Vehicles excluded from these restrictions ...

• Diesel powered turbocharged or supercharged vehicles (without engine performance modifications)

Graduated Licensing System | Helping young drivers be safer drivers

Sorry Joel but where did you get that from?

I was sure when I looked it up for one of the guys at work off the vicroads website that there were exclusions for vehicals with a certain power to weight still.

But I dont really care so it's not worth really worrying about for me anyway

The link is in my post. here too! Graduated Licensing System | Helping young drivers be safer drivers

My appologies Joel, your spot on, vicroads must have been a bit slow off the mark as it was about 6 months ago that I was looking it up for one of the trainee's at work.

So Joel, if successful in your purchase, will you bring her to the trials on the 24th to show her off?
