I've had my p's for nearly a year, i got them July 16 2007 (15 days after new law came in)
i hope someone here can clear up with me something that has been bugging me bad for the new laws is it the first 12 months of your p's that v8's, turbo's and s/c are banned, after which it goes back too 125kw/tonne? or is it for the life of your p plates? any help would be great Daniel

I would try for the hardship clause, I am assuming that the EL is a 6, so there shouldn't be a problem.

might as well jump in, our family own a V8, the only other car is a 4cyl ute that is driven by a tradie (my old man) so its always out, we've owned the V8 since 03, am i able to get in and drive the V8 as its our only usable car during the week? or am i screwed into having to buy ANOTHER car just so i can drive?
i heard that as long as your family owned the vehicle by a certain date you were able to apply for an exemption?? |

agreed mate, i most likely won't be allowed to drive our 160kw 2 tonne V8 4wd, but can go get a 190kw XT..and i can guarantee that the XT will fly compared to the Jeep...obviously didn't think the laws through very well.. |
