THIS.

In states where exemption is needed to drive super/ turbo /v8 - most just lie and get exemption, very easy to do it seems.

Yep, i drove around in a VS Senator for a while. Cops busted me and told me i couldnt drive it when i knew well that i could. Got a written and signed letter from HSV stating the kerb weight etc, took a photocopy of the car specs from my HSV owners compendium, wrote a letter and sent the defect back to the TMU headquarters in the city. They checked it all out and cancelled the defect a week later. They reckon most of the Vicroads rego stickers have one baseline weight for all VS HSV's (in my case), which state the weight for a normal VS 5 litre, not a Senator, Clubby etc, which was alot different. I also took the info from my compendium into Vicroads where they issued me a rego sticker with the cars CORRECT weight.

Now i just drive a 5.7 litre V8, ahhhh, the joys of a full license.

my question is how the hell does he get away with it?

He gets in his car and drives? Not much to it.

Just because laws exist doesn't mean people will follow them. Maybe he just hasn't been caught yet. Either that or he drives down from the A.C.T. everyday.

I'm not really familiar with P plater power/cylinder laws like this, they don't exist where I live.

so you can drive a v8 on ya p plates?i always thought with the new hoon laws red p platers werent aloud but green p platers were aslong as it isnt the primary vehicle?

Not in Victoria you can't. So he's either gained an exemption or flouting the law.

because everyone likes making a big "**** you" statement to the government, just like i plan to later this year with either a ls1 or l67

Riight, then we'll be getting the "OMG the pigga's keep puling meh ovah all dah time coz i'm drivin a V8. But i haz exempton, so dey shud leve me alone ey" posts.

Why make life harder for yourself then it needs to be?
I think most young blokes should just chill for the four year stint, save the pennies and buy a nice car when they graduate from the P's. Rather then piss around with older v8's just so they can drive one.
No one cares about your "f**k you" statements. Most just laugh about the added stress you bring yourself.

Have fun though.
