These new WTF Laws?

[KrazyKazza1]

hey guys,

just wondering whether i can get some new details on the new P Plater (Or whatever) Laws for South Australia? I have a LPG VN Commodore, stock except for pod filter (i was told its legal coz of LPG) and a Sports Exhaust. am i still going to be allowed to drive this no matter what the laws change to?

i have checked google for any information but i havent really found anything. i've seen people on this forum selling their cars due to the law coming in but yea; i havent heard anything. INFO PLEASE!

it's only illegal if you get caught mate, you can get defected for a pod filter but if you act dumb and its mounted securely you can get away with it. as long as your exhaust isn't too loud it will be fine. just don't drive like a dick

i have fairly modded my ute, can check my thread if u want, not sure on modding qld laws, but if you drive sensible and dont stand out you will be left alone, i havnt been pulled over once or asked about any mods i have

Its like what skidney said. Dont drive like an ass and you probly will never know if its illegal or not

Research your local S.A laws then you will know how far you can bend them, I doubt anyone on here knows them. We have enough trouble reading all the Victoria rules

Speaking for NSW, technically anything which increases the performance of your car is disallowed while you're on your P's. Most people would argue a sports exhaust increases performance.

Reality is you're more likely to get done for having it too loud (a rule which applies to everyone) than for it's "performance enhancing" qualities.

Like everything else, much of it comes down to how much attention you draw to yourself. If you have it ****-off loud and blast around the place, or otherwise hoon around, or hang out at place or with people who do, you're asking for trouble. If you act civilised, people are likely to act civilised back.

I thought when new laws come in it only affects people just getting their P's rather than already existing P platers.

Anyway you should be fine, its a bog stock V6, but if you wanted to be cautious, make sure your exhaust noise level is legal and put your pod in an enclosure.

thats on the money only affects people who get there P's when the law comes out

thanks for comments guys, as for my p plates i dont have them. its taken me a few months to find a job with a decent income so i can finally start getting my hours up. im already passed 6mnths so i can get my P's asap.

exhaust: my exhaust makes a nice 'beefy' noise while accelerating but when i sit at a consistent speed the noise is nowhere near as loud. so i think i can get away with it

pod filter: The podfilter and the big-ass hose its connected to is all fused up with my gas tank so im guessing its a safety thing.
