@ kiet88
hmmm weird.. as it states, However, if a probationary driver with a pre-July 2007 licence has a car that does not meet the power to weight restrictions, but it does comply with the new high powered vehicle restrictions effective from July 2007, then the probationary driver may drive the car.

@ temp
the new law states:
An engine of eight or more cylinders;
a turbocharged or supercharged engine (except diesel powered vehicles);
an engine that has been modified to increase its performance

And the type R meets all these conditions.. The cop who fined your friend is an idiot, so get your friend to write in..

Ok Found it - its on http://arrivealive.vic.gov.au/node/196 , not 196 or 199

Only if i know they before i bought my dc4 - oh well - insurance would have been a pain anyway

damn.. badluck man..

[Mr_will]

P platers in VIC can not drive DC5Rs as it is over the power to weight ratio allowed for them.

My friend who was on P plates was fined for this in his DC5R.

End of story. Close thread thanks.

lol fail. its open for discussion dude
