Hi,
Its probably been asked before but if I have a v8 car on my P2 license down here in Tasmanian (which is OK) how long do I have before I have to put up green P's and stop driving the V8? The car would have tassie rego if thats an excuse. Edit: Might be moving to Victoria but want to buy a V8 down here before I leave (if I do) |

Hmm I dont know how that works if you buy before you move, might be right for an exception...perhaps call VicRoads.
I remember when I was on my P's I got done big time by TAS police, basically if it happened in VIC I would have lost my license (I was running late for the boat), but, when it came to the paper work I got a fine, but didn't lose any points because of some jurisdictional thing. The officer went to town with me, I had my P plates up but the one on the back window fell down (front still up)..so I got done for not showing plates aswell.... Then I wrote a letter to the boss of TAS police saying that as I was on a VIC (2nd year) license I shouldn't need to display plates as per TAS laws..so I got out of that aswell.. Because we live in a country with different states, and apparently everyone should abide by different laws it makes it confusing. Vicroads will be able to tell you.

Licensing system in Australia is a joke. It is possible to hold more than one license at the same time by having one from different states. Also, what's the go with an Auto P-plate license migrating to a Full License with no 'Automatic' restriction on it?

from my understanding of the rules (my brother on green p's in vic) if you change your license to a Vic one you cant drive a v8 or turbo pertol car unless its a work car owned by the company you work for and your employer has notified vicroads doesn't matter where the cars from it's the license.
But if you keep you Tas license it will be fine if it's allowed in tas, but you are meant to change over you license if you have been living interstate for more than 3 months, but i dont believe there is a rule forcing you 2.

The laws are a condition associated with your licence. eg - L Platers in NSW have to go 80kph, L Platers in ACT can go 100kph even if driving in NSW...
Same goes with what car you own - If you are a P plater in NSW, you cannot drive a V8 or turbo/supercharged car... on an ACT P plate licence, you can drive it...

When you change back to QLD you will be restricted again. Of course you could rent a house in Tassie, buy a Tassie registered car and commute back and forward every 2.9 months but you might find that your money bucket springs a big hole. |

Also, if you're under 22 and try transfer your license to a Victorian one, you'll be on P plates regardless if you have a full license in another state.

Lets see now.... How did you get to Tassie? Fly? You are not any any airline manifest. Drive? Bloody soggy if you don't take the boat and of course appear on the manifest? Swim? And how come your credit card/ATM card/phone/whatever was used in QLD while you were Tassie? Or your license plate was read by one the the huge number of cameras that hide in all the new traffic signs or red light and speed cameras. This is the real world, not home and away. Most criminals are caught because they are not very smart, learn from this.... |

a) They are not doing something stupidly overt like sticking a P plate on a V8 in a state where that is illegal. b) have the car registered in a nearby state not one that is an island. c) don't live in a town that has only 3 traffic police and one main road in and out. d) genuinely travel interstate on a regular basis. Never underestimate traffic police, they are not fools..... |

I assume they get a lot of angry impatient people on the other end of the phone though. Really good manners and proffesionalism over the phone goes a long way to getting what you need. Not a dig at you, just a tip.
