How did they know you were a p plater if they could not see it or did they pull you over for somthing else first:angel:

I am not too sure about the factory supercharger/Turbos being legal. My understanding is that P platers are not allowed to drive V8s supercharged vehicles of any description nore Turbos unless it is a Diesel or one of the very few exempt family vehicles.

But the way around these laws are if it is your family car or if you live in a rural area you are allowed to drive a V8 4x4.

Also they do enforce the plates being on the outside of the vehicle which is no biggy not that hard to put them on the outside to avoid attracting attention surely ;) Just keep spares in your glove box if one falls off or is nicked put a new one on they are free after all :)

Its been awhile since i was on p plates but the act refers to modified cars thats why wrx turbos and evos are legal dosnt even mention petrol or diesel thats whats stupid but i looks like the pollies did something:o(stupid again)

I couldnt get insurance over the phone for my D1 300tdi... because it is a turbo vehicle. But that is the insurance companies policy.. not law. As for WRX's and EVO's being legal.. whatever, doesnt really matter does it? You could modify any engine in any car to make it go faster anyway.
