i have a question for all of you.. i live in NSW during the holidays but got to boarding school in SA...so i can get either drivers licence.. i just bought a VY S ute, and i have a NSW P plate licence, but im allready over the 90km/h **** and the p's on the outside so im thinking about changing my licecne to SA so i can put p's on the inside and go 100km/h and TOW a reasonable trailer if needed. Just one question tho i normally drive my ute from boarding school back to nsw does this mean if i do get me SA P plates will i need to stop when i get to NSW and put my p's on the outside and go back to 90km/h or can i just sit on 100 and if i get pulled over pull the im from SA i didnt know trick any thoughts. my ute also has extractors on it but its not loud at all its a bit noiser than stock whats the best state to get away with small things like that in......... NSW P's or SA P's cheers
if you do have your SA Probationary licence then you follow those rules when in NSW.
so you can do the limit, tow and the works.
it is only if you are a learner that then drives into NSW that you have to follow their laws (which is 80kph max)
basically.
whatever restrictions you are on in SA, is what you follow in NSW.
(read up on post #9, which is the exact reply i got from the NSW RTA when i wanted to know the exact same thing)
Regardless of where your P plate is from you still have to follow the law of the state/teritory you are in. It's about time this country was a country and not a bunch of separate colonies with separate laws. We need 1 licencing system to stop the confusion.
100% wrong and incorrect.
trust me. i didnt go to a huge hassle to win an arguement with someone over this exact issue to be wrong. and i drive up into NSW a fair bit
which included speaking to Vicroads, NSW RTA and the NSW police force.
and i still have the copy of the exact message around as proof if people do not want to believe that. (most of which is posted in post #9 on here)
but i do agree. they need 1 licence system, but none of this limit speed crap. 80kph in a 110 zone is 3/4 of the speed. thats a bloody huge speed gap. and dangerous.
however yes you are semi right about the law of the state. you still have to follow their speed limit signs. roadworks signs and all that. =P
