By rights your P Plates are supposed to be fixed to the front and rear of the vehicle and visible/legible. Your windows front and rear aren't the the front and rear of the vehicle. A TMU copper in Vic might love to use this if nothing else is available to get you on or you shoot your mouth off. By the way, can yu guys lose the exploding paint ball P Plates. They give me the shytes and I thought a P/L plate had to conform to design standards to be displayed correctly anyway?
Another question, For L + P platers driving in NSW with licenses or permits from Vic, are they held to the 80km/h limit? When I was driving around Sydney and NSW all the L + P platers were on the left lane crawling, there was no exception with the L platers.. They all were.. I was on my L's at that stage and I was driving around at 100-110km/h (depending on the limit).. If I got pulled over, could I have been charged with going 30km over the limit? I'm also aobut to head down there some time this year.. I'm a 19 year old P plater, will I have to stick to 80km/h once I hit the NSW border? Cheers.. edit: You probably know this but in Vic there are no speed restriction for L+P platers.. We just follow the signs..
P-plates/L-plates only have to be VISIBLE from the front and rear of the vehicle, not necessarily attached to the front and rear of the vehicle. So the rear window business is fine unless the tint or somehting else is obstructing them. And in regards to the indicating on roundabout questions... Just to clarify... 1. You only have to indicate when LEAVING a roundabout if it PRACTICAL to do so. 2. You MUST indicate either left or right when entering, even if you are going straight ahead. So if you are taking the first exit you would be indicating left, in mist cases, if the exit is less that half way round the roundabout and you would indicate right for straight ahead or any further around the roundabout. 3. You must indicate if changing lanes whilst on the roundabout, obviously there has to be more than one lane for this... 4. I don't care about any of that cos common sense has to prevail sometimes, if it the smallest roundabout in the world, like most on suburban streets are these days, I say it not practical to indicate, but on big multi-lane ones, we should all be doing it, mainly out of courtesy for othr drivers. 5. Remember that any car already on the roundabout before you has right of way, whether or not they indicate... If you hit them and say they didn't indicate then you're still at fault and the ophter driver may just get a ticket for not indicating to add to the pain of being t-boned... That should make it as clear as mud...
In essence in L/P restrictions are just that licence restrictions not legilsated class speed limits. In NSW, you may know that there are P1 and P2 classes which have varied limits, 90 & 100 respectively... So you could safely travell at 90 (90 zones and above of course) without getting pulled over for speeding. The problem is that if your licence has no restriction then you can't get done unless you are going over the posted limit, ie 110 on the highway/freeway. But to make your trip less stop-start I would cruise at 90 to save the hasle of getting pulled over constantly. Police don't just look at the rego of the car and assume that the driver is from the same state. And a lot of police don't know how this works. If you do get pulled over, kindly advise them that your licence has no speed restrictions and ask them to check it with a highway car on the air. Down where I work we deal with a lot of interstate cars here, from all over, so I have been through all this before. Cops up in Sydney may not be 100% sure on this subject.
With the NSW P-Plate restrictions there was alot of confusion for us ACT learner/provisional drivers. About 6 months ago the ACT RTA sent out letters to clarify the speed limits etc. It did state that learners still had to do 80, but provisional was 'drive the posted limit'
:yeah: Lol, I use PCU as well because I'm not on the take either :whistling and their loaning criteria is less strict then other banks.
Expensive I believe that driving an unregistered car is about $450. However, they will also probably get you for driving a car without a CTP. That is another $450 odd. Finally, if the car has been unregistered for more than three months (I think), it can be another $75 odd for not returning the plates to the RTA. In this case, they may also take your plates off the car, and leave you on the side of the road to work out the next step. All up, it can come up to about $975.
Have to give you coppers a big thumbs up:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Stacked my car last night and the attending cop was awesome.. very helpful... i would have been stuffed otherwise!! so :thumbsup: to the coppers out there!
touch too hard out of a corner (which was tighter than i first thought) and fishtailed and lost it.. over a lane divider (basically a strip of concrete about kerb height).. busted tyre ... over deep gutter into dirt.. rim dug in and flicked the back of the car into a light pole :S I think i'm in the market for a new car.
Nice Choice :yeah: I'm about to trade in my old Berlina LX, still undecided as to what will be my next baby!
Hehe yeah... sticking with the VS.. it was very nice.. it was the attending coppers favourite car too 200 clicks in a chase without noticing... calais...drop in fe2's... get the new deck in there (if it works with the stacker) and i got me a very nice cruiser. I could get you a real good deal on a VS in Adelaide if you are keen Might need a little work
The factory stackers aren't anything special they cant even read a CD-RW... But I would've thought you'd had enough of anything to do with stacking in the backside of a car...whooops :whistling ...just joking.
