Default New p plater laws

hey all im new on here my names david. i currently own a 1981 xd ford fairmont ghia. at the moment im still on my P.s. Rumours have been floating around that as of the end of the year p platers are unable to drive around a turbo or v8 nemore. does this rule apply to new p plate drivers or existing drivers aswell. just that my future ambitions were to buy another x series falcon and turbo it. cheers all.

In NSW anyone obtaining thier license after July 10th 2005 isn't allowed to drive Forced Induction or V8 vehicles.

The new laws are required.
If people are caught screwing around in their first year, down the toilet goes the license.

Good riddance.
