    STUPID V8 LAWS IN QLD

    My son finally got booked for driving my "high powered v8 "d1 today.He has prevously been pulled over for other matters,one speeding,cracked windscreen ect,but the coppers have ignored the fact he was driving a v8 on p plates,untill today.Fair enough the idiot crossed double white lines pulling into a servo[hey look at me]but the v8 thing sucks.Now he has $550 worth of fines.Copper's quota must have been down!!I have seen p plates on ss commodores,toyota supras ect,no worries.He can drive my td6 rangie which would leave the d1 in its dust,my td5 defer would also give it a run,or the copper told him he could drive a v8 diesel cruiser,but not a v8 d1.Not happy Jan!!

    Yep. The law sucks but, it is the law.
    I've often remarked how a modern 6 cyl motor is more powerful than my HSV enhanced 185kW V8 but still a P plated cannot drive my V8 but can drive the 6 cyl.
    A law created by bureaucrats.

    "V8" is a fear word like "assault rifle". Plastic politicians will legislate around the soft emotional appeal of these words because it would be harder to actually deal with the issue (if any) in a beneficial way. It's simply easy political points.

    I thought they were considering a change in the law to make it a more sensible power:weight ratio.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I thought that they might not worry about it because it was not his car and by no stretch of the imagination is it "high powered",as evidenced by the ones that ignored it.

    And that is why I now live 400km away from where I actually do, to get an exemption...

    Bloody stupid rule, my Td5 Disco runs rings around the Rangie, guess which one I did my licence test in...
