P-Plate High Performance Vehicles

[elisiX]

LOL I have the MK6 GTI that is my mums atm but will be mine when i get my P's.
Hahah
There's a way top get around it tho.
You are able to get a letter of exemption from vic roads if your parents onl own cars that are more powerful.
My dad has a V8 Merc and so i should be alroight.

So the GTI isn't actually yours?

Not a bad car to have available to drive if your still on your L's.

If it's registered under your name, you won't get one*. At least in NSW.

I don't even think you"ll be allowed to put it under your name..

Saw a P plated Porsche Boxster in the weekend driven by a tentative novice...shouldn't the Boxster be on the banned list? I agree with a lot of the comments here that power-to-weight ratio should be one of the criterion for the p-platers banned list of vehicles but in the end, it's only a band-aid solution - it's the person behind the wheel that counts. It's only those hoons who make it difficult for majority.

It's on the high performance 6 cylinder list.
In fact ALL Porsche boxer cars are.

you know what...its all crap.
i am a good driver.....sensibly and skillful wise.
I dont actually have access to another car besides my dads e500 merc which is a five and a half litre v8 i;m pretty sure....so they can either give me an exemption or i'll just drive it anyways.
but i'll cross tht bridge when i get to it.
oh and sorry i got mixed up...the car is under my dads name for the time being...but will be under mine when i turn 18.

[elisiX]

But its currently your daily drive right?

I am assuming you drive alone without you L's displayed?

(I know I stupidly did that when I first got a car)

That's the problem man. Think about it.
Under your name, means you paid for it and own the title in the eyes of the RTA/Vicroads (whatever). They will question WHY you bought that car and therefore turn you away.
I've had mine for more than 2 years now, still on my greens. Still under my dads name.

Clearly the report was not for spelling.

With that attitude you won't be with us long, you don't even have your license yet so how can you claim to be sensible and skillful?

ah thts so helful...i was recently driving up to lakes enrtance with a mate and he seemed to be going faster than me while i was on 113 cruise control..he told me he truthfully wasnt speeding and i think my speedo is out by around 7 or 8 km. Is there a way to get this fixed?

Aren't L and P platers restricted to 80kph's (at least for the first year)? Don't you think 113 is a little over 80?

Your parents could always be more responsible (clearly you're not) and buy you a corolla especially if they want you to be around for your 21st birthday. Your attitude so far is typical of a spoilt rich boy whose parents give him whatever he wants. Judging by your posts on here so far everything has been about getting 18-19" alloy wheels, the engine flashed and other performance mods (that is until you get a new car from your parents and pass this car to your younger brother).

but i'll cross tht bridge when i get to it.

Good luck with that, I'm sure the transport department will be leaning over backwards to accommodate your requirements.

I don't normally agree with restrictions on cars for P platers but in your case I'm all for it

lol lets not beat the guy with a stick for embellishing a little.

I hope everything works out mate. Hopefully you can keep the car in your parents name with you legally listed as a driver.

ps. I had a mirage for my first car so good on you.

You forgot "very experienced and very modest"

Good to see how well you respect the law. Does your driving demonstrate similar disregard for the rules?

Cheers

First off, i have been working since i was twelve and poayed 20 grand for the car of my own money. So i'm not just some spoilt rich kid. Second off, i dont think there is any law that L's can't go past 80 and i was in a 110km zine doing 113 because i know that the tacho s out a bit so i was technically doing less. Third, i wasn;t trying to be a smartass by saying im a good driver, I'm merely pointing out the fact that i dont go doing stupid **** while i drive, i like to cruise around when i get the chance and if i have the opportunity to open the taps (i.e on a track day or somethnig) i would love to.
So dont go making stupid assumptions and ripping into me without knowing half of the story. I still have to pay for petrol insurance and rego. The fact i want 18" rims is fair enough im my view considering ive een working six days a week for the past four weeks just to save up enough for it.
And as for chipping it, whats the difference if i chip it or if you do?
You're probably a less responsible driver than me.
