Gspec Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Its been quite some time since i was on my P's so i have'nt really given much attention to the law's regarding P's However while getting about today i notice that every P plater i saw was displaying green on white P's Whats the deal? Quote
KEhendo Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 old red p's are now the new green p's. there is now an intimidate year between L's and p's. this is the new red p's. hope that made sense. so it's now L's then red p's for 1 year then green p's for 3 years. there is also a new (harder) two stage driving test. that goes for 45mins. differences between red and green are... green: same as red's before. red: same as green but no towing, one passenger between the ages of 16 and 21 or 25 (i forget) and no mobiles at all ie. no hands free.

Yep, pretty much it. New drivers from July 1st will now have to hold their P licence for at least 4 years in total. A few people have gotten confused switching to green Ps, I just wanna say that the laws you had to stay by with the red plates, you carry over to the greens. The only thing that changes is the colour of your plate. Quote
Doogs Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Click The new laws suck for people like me with birthdays after the July 1 cutoff. There will be a passenger limit and a ''blanket ban'' on all performance mods as well as more limitations on the cars we can drive. As bad as they are for me, I can see why they have done it (remember the commodore that crashed on the westgate at 160kph etc, etc) Thankfully most cops don't know what a k motor looks like, let alone are able to tell the difference between a 3k and a 5k. ;) Quote
