Bad or good news?NSW new law for P plate holder!!!

So NSW law has finally broght it in :thumbdwn:

for Honda,only the Honda City Turbo is banned from the list.
it means p plater can drive any VTI-R and Type-R under this law!!!!!:cool:

Prohibited vehicle condition

The prohibited vehicle condition restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers from driving certain vehicles while on their provisional licence.

Prohibited vehicles are those with:

• Eight or more cylinders.
• A turbocharged engine (diesel exempt).
• A supercharged engine (diesel exempt).
• Engine performance modifications.
• High performance six cylinder engines.

Just wonder when it'll happen in other state, because i think it will happen.

Probably a good idea. Now a better idea, how about advanced driver training....I remember my license test consisted of a leisurely drive on a sunday afternnoon around my local country town. No night driving, no wet weather conditions, no high speed training (highway driving), no training for heavy breaking/car spin...you get the idea :)

All my 'drivers ed' consisted of was a datto 180b out in the local forest :D

lol nsx is banned too fast man.

and the only honda banned is the honda city turbo.... VTEC will now take over the roads.. :D

man this is bullshit...this is where ppl get their only experience from.. learning to drive a car that has waayyyy too much power.. if they had the right training in the first place this new law wouldnt be needed

thank god im excempt from it all....phew

from what i heard there is a power per tonne of 125 per tonne, would that make the Type R over that?

i might be wrong, just what i heard

Note: The information contained in each list is a guide only and subject to change at any time without notice.

will be interesting to see if any other NA cars get added to the list - likes of TypeRs, RX8s

Mr_mojo: i think you're missing the Idea of this restriction tho. 'KIDs' buy High powered cars, do mods to make more power, visit illegal street meets and normal off the lights drags - and then kill themselves.
I think 'learning' should be of the road rules and emergency situations first - not how to control a 200kw car! these ppl are like babies in nappies - they need to crawl before they walk...

i agree totally with what sinistr says

I get this feeling that VtiR and Type R's resale value could go up a bit because of kids may have to resort to looking for high-power NA 4 cylinder cars.

so just to make thing clear if say i already have my p2 i can do what ever i want right?
"restricts all new provisional (P1 and P2) drivers"
