Driving Turbo In Qld, But With Nt P Plate  

hoybo

Yes.

I thought you must comply with local law.. as well as with your license restrictions..

IE: if a L plater from any state drove thru NSW they would have to drive at 80kmh (their law)
even tho they may be from QLD there there are no speed limits for L/P platers..
IDK. my thoughts.
Wait til rookie comes along?

i was always under the impression that you follow the rules for the state in which you have your licence..

Depends on the cop really. I went down to NSW with qld rego and license and got sooked at by the cops because my p plates werent on the outside of the vehicle and rekoned if a highway patrol got me theey wouldnt have been so generous. I was always under the impression that it was going by your state though not where you drive.

Row S15

NT licence, rego and address ur fine

Croma

goes by the state your license is from..

If you have P's in NT,and there are no Turbo restrictions, then when you drive to QLD you have no turbo restrictions.

aristo

man up and just do it..
if you have to ask about it, you most likely can't do it..

once you loose your license the first 3 times driving turbo cars on p's in QLD you kinda get that feeling of asking usually meaning i can't lol

youbUTEless 33

incorrect
i got fucked by the long arm of the law while i was in melbourne with a qld licence
you must drive to the laws of the state you are in
yes it sucks
but i asked the officer "so what, am i supposed to stop at the boarder and catch a cab?"
and he said, "well basically"

ROAD RULES - State Determined, and yes u can still be fined or defected even when interstate

LICENCE - Australia-wide (if you cant drive turbo in QLD, you cant drive turbo anywhere on QLD licence............ if you CAN drive turbo in NT on NT licence, you can drive it anywhere.)

unfortunately, many cops are unfamiliar with sister states licensing laws, so it would be a little bit of a fuckaround whilst they checkup and verify details on your particular state licence.

OMG why did this thread have to come along.
*Waits for,*
"So if i moved to NT get my P's and come back I can drive turbozzz."

I always thought it was done on the license you have. eg QLD p-platers can go 100 in NSW if the speed limit permits them to do so.

dont think that is right cause im from nsw and when i was at the spit the other day the cops pulled me up had a look over the car, they said " if u werent from nsw we would have given u a ticket for BOV and not displaying rego sticker (cause it fell off no stick left) but they let me go and the guy behind me from qld was getting the book thrown at him.

so i would question that.

youbUTEless 33

well i got defected in melbourne 3 days after i got the car rego'd on brisbane. and i got done for BOV, interooler, exhaust, height.
and i was on qld licence, and i explained that i was just on holiday.
and he said that sounded lovely

45SET

Was thinking the exact same thing.

BoostedDave

had to lol at that bit mate

In my opinion, it would be respect the laws of the particular state you are in. However, that then brings in the questions about how Qld police are spose to know what you are and are not allowed to do in other states. We can always check up and see what kind of licence someone has, however as for restrictions etc, it would not be as straight forward.... I spose my post still hasnt brought any answers to your question so wait for Rookie...

Rolla_ball

u can still be fined in any state for things like disobeying road rules and defects (i was fined in nsw but that was for illegal u turn and a few defects, which they are perfectly entitled to do so),
there were situations a while ago where all the flat brimmers were coming up from nsw with the airbags and all that shit and the coppers were powerless to stop them(however as soon as they let the air out coppers would pounce for being too low)
however licencing restrictions would be a different story, if u are from a state where there arent restrictions such as nt u can drive ur car anywhere in australia provided the car is not defectable.

_FLP_

I can categorically confirm that you are required to adhere to the conditions and restrictions imposed by the state in which you are currently licenced.

I won't pretend to be up to speed on Northern Territory licencing legislation but if P Platers are unrestricted with the vehicles they drive in regards to forced induction, V8's etc then they may legally drive a V8, turbo and so on Australia wide, as long as you remained licenced in the NT and maintain (and can prove if asked) residency of the Territory. This applies to speed limits imposed in some states for P Platers also, a Northern Territory P Plater is entitled to do 110k (assuming a 110 zone of course) in NSW as opposed to NSW licence holders who may be restricted to lower speeds.

If anyone has been issued an infringement contradicting what i have just said then the ticket has been issued in error and could have/should have been dismessed either in court, or prior to.

However, please note that you must drive a vehicle that conforms to the legal requirements of the state you are currently driving in. If a modification is legal in your home state, but illegal in the state in which you are currently driving you CAN be defected and/or fined.

youbUTEless 33

hmm thats interesting.
what about this situation.
you get rego'd in one state on a monday, and without mdifying the vehicle in any way you drive to another state the following day and get pulled over for driving a car that does not comply with the laws of the state that you are in.
with no advice that your car does not comply, and under the impression that it is road worthy as you got the roady done the day before.
so the officer writes you a ticket, with just a fine, no demerit points. the fine is issued in a different state that your licence was issued. and you were on hoiday, not permanent.
what do you reckon about that? i reckon its mighty unfair

Croma

Well, you should take it to court, cause you just got lied to..

youbUTEless 33

good idea, thats my plan atm lol
except i live in brisbane
i am in perth atm
and the ticket was issued in melbourne

Local law.

Rookie ROX

That's correct.



No it doesn't. If they fined you, you'd write a letter to the Officer in Charge and have the infringement dismissed, because it's not applicable.






So? Just because you're in a different State, doesn't mean your vehicle is magically immune from all legal requirements. A BOV is illegal in every State or Territory, minimum 100mm height is the same standard in every State or Territory and so forth. Just because they ARE different States or Territories and implement their own legislation for traffic management regulations, doesn't mean it all differs. There's standards in place and very few differences between them.





More quality advice from Queensland Transport..

OT: FLP is correct. Whilst you must abide the relevant road rules in the State or Territory you are travelling, you must also comply with the conditions of your licence. For someone on a NT Provisional licence, that means you're still allowed to drive whatever vehicle you wish.

If you were however a person with a QLD P1 or P2 licence travelling to NT, as you are required to comply with the conditions of your licence, it means you must still display your P plates, still not drive a restricted vehicle, still not carry more than one passenger between 11pm-5am and so forth. If you were on a NSW P1, it still means you must not exceed 90km/h regardless of the limit where ever you are.

So again, answer: Yes, you may drive your Silvia.

ROCK ON

alex338

haha yeah the police moto is "if in doubt, right the ticket anyway and let them sort it out"

RetardedMonkey

Not fucking wrong Rookie.

No wonder I can never get a straight/correct answer when ringing QLD Transport, they're the people you go to in regards to a road rule query, yet they can't get it right.

future_dictator

R~R has spoken.

thanks all, can lock this shit up now

nissanetturbo

i just like the fact cops have limited jurisdiction over your interstate license,

nsw cop: "one moment mate, i'll have your license suspended"
vic motorist: "yeah, ok then"

not saying that's what happened, but you get the drift (and vice verse)

VNINV

what r they gona make ur buy a new car or go hire a car just cause ur comeing to queensland for a roadtrip...lol u will be fine as your laws r different that over here....u dnt have2 comply with local law at all...u just go buy ur states laws n thats it

youbUTEless 33

umm if you could read you would find out that your completly wrong.
and as an example i did this and i was on a road trip and i did get anally raped by the police

TheKhakiWarrior

You can get fined for having an illegal blow-off valve for sneezing in your car. You can get fined for breaking the speed limit while stationary. You can get fined for not stopping at a give way sign.

Most police when it comes to traffic really know 2/10th's of fuck-all. Any magistrate is going to look at your case and go 'what the fuck, why are they wasting my time' (as happened to me). Most day's it'll get thrown out. A magistrate is what decides the penalty or even if the offence stands at all. NOT an officer being judge judy and executioner!

Fast_32

i think its if ur car and licence is legal in the state issued u should b fine, because nsw p platers cant do ova 80 or sumthing but when qld p platers go down there, they can do 100 because qld does not have any speed restrictions.

u should b fine and if ur fined for it, fight it

Rookie, get the fuck over it.
