G'day everyone.
I've had a thought. Most of us know that over east the P plate law is that P-Platers cannot drive turbo or V8 powered vehicles, and that P plates must be placed in a conspicuous place on the vehicle. In WA, P-Platers are allowed to drive V8 and turbo cars, and the P plates "must be displayed on the front and rear of the vehicle". Most of us here put them in the windscreen and back window, which personally I think is good enough. Though the plates can be hidden by reflections on the windows, or the tint of the rear window if the vehicle is tinted. At times it would be hard to see my L plates, especially the rear ones due to the tint. I've stopped for RBTs a good few times and the cops have never said anything so I imagine it doesn't matter. But I hear, in NSW anyway, that they will ask you to move them to the exterior of the vehicle. So what if I on P plates in a few months from WA drove to NSW unaware that the plates must be on the outside? Would they have to ask me to replace them? And what if I were a P plater driving from WA to the east in a V8 or Turbo car? What would happen then? Would I be left alone because of the laws of where I am from? Just curious. Thanks Chris |
