canberra Pplaters have no restrictions on their car. And as far as i know, as long as you have an ACT licence, even when driving in NSW you cant get in trouble, as your car is legal in canberra - where your licence is from

I did a lot of ringing around with this one. Im from sa and wanted to drive to vic on my p's with the caprice. basically over here the coppers were saying yea its fine you have an sa license all good. but the vic coppers were saying nah as soon as you cross that border your license conditions turn into ours. I ended up not going because my insurance company said that I wouldn't be covered (if something happen) because legally once you enter the other state/territory you must abide by their license conditions.

Hey mate,
I drive my VU SS in NSW every single day and Im an ACT P plater, even got pulled over the other week in nsw and the cop had no issues at all, even with me not displaying p's (done p off course), I'd say they are pretty use to it now.

Same applies with speed limits, you can do full speed limit in NSW on ACT P plates even though NSW provisional licence holders have restrictions.

you will be fine mate

Agree though, they need a national system, its a real pain with mods and licencing confusion
