Stupid question, but has been bugging me really badly (For the P Platers)

[shaggerz]

Its probably one of those "I want a reason to pull you over" things...

I think most police would just accept that if you can see it easily, thats good enough, but there will always be a few who need an excuse to pull over a P plater... and what better?

P plates are now mandatory for new license holders in Queensland I think... I hope they don't get that picky up here, not that it will affect me.

i'v just got mine at the bottom of both windows on the drivers side. the only way a get busted for my plates is the fact of not havin them on

mine are at the bottom of the front window n rear window. i looked on the vicroads website and this is what it says

Driving on a probationary licence
After you pass your tests you will be issued with a probationary licence which allows you to drive under certain conditions. While driving you must:

have a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of .00%
not drive high powered vehicles
display ‘P’ plates on the front and back of the vehicle
carry your driver licence with you
can only drive a vehicle with automatic transmission if the test was passed in an automatic vehicle. (Does not apply if you have previously held a manual licence)

so aslong there on the front n back of the windows its fine and not postion.

mine are
front: passenger bottom corner
back: driver bottom corner
and ive been pulled over a couple times and they havnt said anything bout it.... so i guess its ok..... my mate ended up putting his behind his number plate on the back because his tint is that dark you cant see it haha.. and he hasnt got any trouble so i guess its ok aslong as you show them? unless the cop is like the one shaggers said hahaha

^ I think I should move the one on my rear because my tint is really dark.
One night I had a police car behind me for a little while with one of my break lights out, surely if they had seen the P they would have pulled me over.

Good to know that I'm not the only one who displays my P's differently :dance:

 

[padrickz88]

haha yeah..... the other day i saw a chick driving with her p plate just stuck n an angel in the middle of her back window hahahaha she drove past cops and they didnt say anything, maybe they were feeling lazy that day? hahaha funni ****

 

[Trei]

Mine are,

Middle Left of the window

Rear, left OUTSIDE of window, taped on.

I got down for having it behind the tint ( at night ironically enough )
3 demerit points and a 120 bucks (FAAANTASTIC)

The bloke was just looking for a reason to ping me.

 

[MikesVT]

padrickz, the girls get away with everything

Trei, Usually the police are ok about that. Maybe you got the wrong one on the wrong night. Just hold on to your remaining 2 points for dear life!!

Your not allowed to have them in the middle of your windscreen in SA

NSW P Plates:


Have P plates (Red/Green P on white background) displayed conspicuously at the front and rear of the car when driving. If placing P signs on windows, they must be held against the glass, be displayed conspicuously in the lower left-hand (passenger) side of the windscreen and on the lower left-hand side of the rear facing window and must not be placed on any other part of the window area. If towing a trailer, a P plate must be on the back of the trailer.

My rear P Plate is illegal But they won't pull me up as I have 2 on the rear
