Thread: Victorian Road Rules

Well the blog doesn't say anything about the rules that have got up your nose.

What are they?

Yeh thats the first post. Look im most ****ed off about the fact that i lost 3 points for having my Ps 'obscured' by having a filthy back window (which is the same amount of points as driving on the wrong side of double lines and doing up to 25ks over the speed limit which is impossible in the rangy ) I'm pretty sure having 'obscured' Ps hasn't killed anyone. The high powered vehicles thing is also rubbish i have an 19yrold mate with an mitsu evo 9 with 550bhp and 750nm of torque and he has an exemption because it has 4 doors it can be considered a family car... go figure

Yeh its bloody ridiculous i have a right to complain maybe i should affix the rangy with 2 turbos and drop a big block chev motor in it. But you must admit 3 points the P plate thing is a bit absurd

here in NSW your p plate must be visable and on the outside of your car but they dont enforce the outside bit we have the modified car act says that p platers can have anything as long as it comes from the factory even superchargers but you cant put a small aftermarket turbo on your car. huge number of p platers drive evo,s and turbo wrx,s. and defenders

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

Thats the dumb thing the cop could see it he just said it was obscured. Not a very nice fellow.

sounds like ya just got a cop with a bad attitude.
Rule of thumb, if they want to ping you, they'll find something...

As for the P-plate laws, yeh they're rediculous. They're easy, knee-jerk reactions that the stupid pollies bring in to make it look like they're doing something.
"P-Plater kills himself in high powered Skyline"
"Ok ban turbo cars"

doesn't do anything to actually change driver attitudes but hey it's all about getting votes isnt it
