The V35 350 GT coupe and sedans (and lower) are legal in Victoria. It`s not a V8 or turbo, and it has 4 or more seats, placing it in the Queensland family car category is an ideal state to live in, and having a car is one of the best ways to see more. So getting your P plates from Queensland is a big step! But before embarking on a Queensland P-Plate adventure, you need to know the Queensland P-Plate rules, which place additional restrictions on you. The main difference between red and green P-plates in Queensland is that green P-plates have no passenger restrictions and can use a hands-free phone. Mate, a red P-P-Platter who drives a little so fast, might as well have a big sign on top: «PLEASE SHOOT ME AT THE COPS!» There are exceptions in South Australia, such as Victoria, where turbocharged or turbocharged vehicles that have low horsepower and were designed for efficiency rather than power are allowed to drive for P-platlers. More information is available here. NSW`s 130 kW per tonne rule applies to almost all vehicles and therefore opens up the possibility for P-plattlers to drive forced induction vehicles or vehicles with eight or more cylinders – provided they meet the power/weight limit. Prior to August 2014, almost all of these cars were banned from P license plates. The above states also offer exemptions for P badges that drive prohibited vehicles according to work requirements or if they have no choice but to drive such a car. In most cases, an application must be made to the appropriate state road authority to apply for a permit in such circumstances. That is just my opinion. I would always wait until you have your full driver`s license for a few years before I get a nice car. Oh yes, enjoy paying for insurance like a P-plattler with a sports car! I doubt you`ll be pulled in, but as has been said before, your insurance would mean a squat after deciding you`re driving the car illegally.
Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia have restrictions on P-plate vehicles, while P-tacklers in the ACT, Northern Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania are not restricted by performance restrictions. P license plate license holders in these states and territories can drive anything an unrestricted driver can do in the classroom with less than 4.5 tons of GVM driver`s license. The landscape of P-plattlers has changed, with some states limiting cars that can be driven according to a power calculation. Although the aim is to combat the over-representation of young drivers in road accidents, the rules themselves are far from simple. In South Australia, restrictions on heavy-duty vehicles are imposed on P-plattlers under the age of 25 who obtained their P1 driving licence on or after 4 September 2010 or who were disqualified on or after 4 September 2010 and who are driving with a P1 licence. P2 drivers are also subject to a number of slightly different restrictions than Queensland`s P1 restrictions. We have also described the restrictions for green P plates below. Some turbocharged cars may appear on the P-Plattler list of legal cars, which may surprise you because they meet a power/weight requirement. Vehicles manufactured after 1 January 2010 are considered powerful in Queensland if they have a power-to-weight ratio greater than 130 kW per tonne. In addition, Victoria allows P-platlers to drive certain Ford Ecoboost, Holden turbo and Nissan turbo vehicles (without exemption) provided they have a power-to-weight ratio identifier on the date of build plate (vehicles manufactured before January 1, 2010) indicating that they have less than 130 kW per tonne of power per weight. Restrictions on heavy-duty vehicles do not apply in South Australia to P badges who are 25 years of age or older or who have obtained their P1 or P2 licence before 4 September 2010. The list of registered vehicles can be found here and more details on vehicle restrictions for P-marking in Queensland can be found here.
With a power-to-weight ratio of less than 130 kW/t, the all-new Toyota GR Yaris P plate is legal. For vehicles from 1 January 2010, South Australian P-plate drivers will be able to drive almost anything at less than 130kW per tonne of power. Probably illegal in Victoria. Not sure because their current list is not available. Call to find out. Head in your hands trying to buy a legal P-plate car for a difficult teenager? When looking for a new car, factors such as resale value, safety, economy, maintenance, and initial cost are enough to confuse the best-prepared buyer. Add to the confusion that the car is for a P-platler who is probably a teenager, and you may find yourself confused and frustrated with your head in your hands trying to understand the QLD restrictions for P1 and P2 license holders for high-performance vehicles. For Queensland, this means that a P-platler cannot drive: all vehicles with eight or more cylinders; gasoline vehicles with supercharger or turbocharger (forced diesel vehicles are allowed); all vehicles with a power greater than 210 kW; and all gyroscopes with a displacement greater than 1146cc. Just because you saw one with P on the street doesn`t mean it was legal (it may not), or that you can have it too (they might have an exception to their RTA). There are exceptions to the rules. If you owned the car before the rules came into effect, or if it`s the only car you have access to, etc.
So call your local RTA to discuss it. PrepL is a 4-6 hour online course that you can take when you reach the age of 15 years and 11 months, so you can get your L plates on your 16th birthday. It`s a great way to learn the rules of the road interactively, and ends with a 30-question test that you need to do 90% correctly. The written test is the oldest process and involves taking a test at a licensing centre after the age of 16. You should study for the test and practice online before you leave. In all of the above states, P-platlers are only allowed to drive vehicles modified by the manufacturer. Victorian P-platers may also operate vehicles under the club licence registration system (i.e. under the system for vehicles 25 years of age or older), unless the vehicle has different engine power changes than those made by the vehicle manufacturer. Read on for full advice on how to get your P licence plates in Queensland, as well as any additional restrictions that apply to you as a temporary Queensland driver. In Victoria, the same rules apply, except that there is no blanket exemption for diesel vehicles and Victoria also lists certain naturally aspirated six-cylinder high-performance vehicles on the list of prohibited vehicles. Some supercharged or turbocharged vehicles can be powered by a P-board.
Here you can find the database for prohibited vehicles in Victoria and more general information about P licence plate vehicle restrictions can be found here. The list is not exhaustive; For example, if you are a P-pllater or a relative or friend of a P-plater who owns a classic Holden, the 1978 VB Holden Commodore 4.2 V8 is approved for a P-plater. However, if you want to drive vehicles very similar from 1979 to the VH Commodore series, they are not on the list. There are two types of P disk restrictions in Queensland, depending on whether you have your P1 or P2 license. Do you want to know in which states the p-plate V35/36 is legal? NSW looks good? To make sure you are buying a legal P-Plate vehicle in Queensland; You can check the condition of a performance vehicle on the Queensland Transport and Services website. I`ve researched the fact that a P-plate car can`t have a power-to-weight ratio greater than 130kw, and the 350z has about 140, but it seems to be approved on the Redbook, am I missing anything here? If you`re buying a fast car for your first vehicle, you`re probably not mature enough to drive it. That`s not the right attitude, right now you`re probably a pretty crappy driver. Don`t be like all those dipshit-P-flatterers who try to lure everyone to the lights and think they`re royal shit. P-plattlers are the most at risk of accidents for a reason, as they think they are traveling gods. Once you have your P1 licence (your red P licence plates), you can drive unsupervised, subject to the QLD-P licence plate rules listed below.
