Driving a supercharged vehical on p plates...
before i baught my vt s supercharged v6 i put up a post about driving a supercharged vehical on my p's. was told it cant be done and that i was a fool, idiot for even thinking i could... well i baught the car anyway. been driving it around for the last couple of months thinking i couldnt get an exemption as people like to tell you cant. well i thought stuff it im not hiding it, not debadging or caring and applied for the exemption.. was approved straight away. i have previosly lost 2 demerits and was worried they might affect it but no. just goes to show people should actually know what they are on about before making judgement...
cheers...
Just goes to show people should learn how to spell before starting a thread.
How hard can it be?
You're in Victoria?
Should have talked to more people and checked the laws recently. As yours is a 4 door, family car, it would be exempt under the newer laws.
Searching here:
Probationary vehicle database : VicRoads
For Holden -> Commodore -> 1998 -> V6 Supercharged ----> Application Required.
Which means:
Probationary drivers cannot drive this vehicle unless they are given an exemption by VicRoads. Click the following link to download an exemption application form.
And assuming you don't have neg driving charges or DUI or something stupid, you should be fine.
I am NSW, and I had to research all this a few months back, 5 mins and a Google search. Don't just take peoples opinion, research yourself - that means me too hence I have provided links, you can check yourself
Cheers,
Mike.

Good stuff mate, too many people get shut down straight away on this forum when they ask questions about this kind of thing. Its pretty ridiculous really, when I was on my P's I had mates at my high school driving V8's and supercharged V6's and no one thought anything of it. Now you get flamed for even asking fellow enthusiasts for advice on whats legal and whats not. Any plans for mods or just keeping her stock for now?

thats because most of them are stupid and abuse the advantage of having anymore power than a v6.Originally Posted by monkeys437
and CH53ER, its probably not the best idea to come on a public forum and tell everyone how you were driving a supercharged v6 for two months without an exemption. Stop giving p platers a bad name!!
what to put here?
good on him hes not the first and certainly won't be the last to break the power restriction laws

He's a ####ing idiot and so is anyone that supports him
actually he is not an idiot because instead of continuing to break the law he apllied for the exemption and got it
How hard can it be?
Anyway you look at it, he shouldn't be driving a car he wasn't allowed to for 2 months. He should have just applied to VicRoads straight away, especially given how easy and simple it apparently was.

Would have had to use some bullshit excuse for it to pass through.
well apparently he dident know he could get one due to the missinfo on here maby if somone told him in his first thread that he could get an exemption then he would of apllied the first day he could

You don't need a reason... at all it seems. Not like with gun laws or anything. You simply apply for an exemption:

That's the form, have a look. The only apparent condition is that if your license is suspended or cancelled, they can revoke your right to drive it.

well its simple... don't drive without the exemption, you can't blame the just commodores forum for that. And how could you use the miss info as an excuse for his illegal actions? if i listened to EVERYTHING that people say on here i would believe that is is legal to drive a supercharged v8 with nos on my p plates
i never blamed jc for him breaking the law i just said if he knew he would of apllied much ealier
the fact is he has already been driving for the two months and if he had knowen he wouldent of
and as for every one getting angry about braking the law how many here have mods and speed they are illegal
how many ppl have king springs on here thats braking the law as i bet none has them engineered
how many ppl have 20's on there vt-vz pov pacs thats illegal
