And I'm saying to you, they were wrong.

The simple fact you think that whatever is told to you by employees of QT or the RTA is 100% truth indicates you're confused to start with. The crap I've heard that has come from them is astounding. They don't exactly employ the world's smartest people.

You are right in saying that it's not a blatantly obvious rule, correct. The problem is, you've been told the wrong information because of it.

No, if you're on a P1 or P2 licence anywhere done the east coast and travel to a State or Territory without vehicle restrictions, you CANNOT go and drive whatever you want, because your licence specifically prohibits you from doing so. But seeing as you're so content on not believing me, how about this little thing that might change your mind

Transport Operations (Road Use Management - Driver Licencing) Regulation 1999

Part 8 - Recognition of other driver licences

Section 35 - Non-Queensland driver licence

(1) A valid non-Queensland driver licence authorises the holder to drive, on a Queensland road, a class of motor vehicle that the holder is authorised to drive under the licence.

(2) The holder of a non-Queensland driver licence must comply with a condition of the licence.

Maximum penalty—20 penalty units.

If you want to start arguing with the Premier and Cabinet Department, be my guest.

Im from QLD (on the old laws) and I dont have to display P plates in NSW/ACT etc. I can also drive v8's turbos bugatti's etc because im on the old laws.
And I abide by QLD LAWS/RULES not the state im in.
Yes I have been pulled over by police in these states and I do not have to wear P plates as i am a queenslander.

To be frank.... ive driven in NSW, QLD, And Sa.. and been licensed in all 3 of those states...

As Shane and Rookie Have both stated.. you need only apply to your license requirements... and also by their road rules.. e.g. road speed. You DO NOT need to apply their (foreign) provisional laws. As you fall under a different licensing system.
The only time you would need to abide by their licensing laws would be if you became a resident within that state. As you are just driving through.. so long as your driving within your requirments then theres no need to be concerned.. Displaying your plates on the outside of the vehicle will lessen your chances of being pulled over.

Ive been pulled over by nsw police... and yes they get assy about not being able to fine you for things.. but explaining to them what the qld laws are.. in a friendly manner and they will back up... this is do-able.. if you have the intelligence to do so.
