    I was under the impression the if you owned the car before the laws came into effect then you would be all good, I think it has to be registered in your name. Thats in NSW my mates got a STI subby and he's on his (was on) P's and had no problems.

    He should still have to apply for an exemption. then they take into consideration if he had the car before the rule came in, not if he bought it before he got his licence. Exemptions are a bullshit revenue raising scheme. No you can't drive that car, oh but wait fill in this form and pay the fee and its ok. That look at things like if you family only has performance cars to drive and if you need to drive cars at work that nay be high performance.
    Its all garbage, you can drive a new 200kw Aurion but you can't drive an old 96 kw small v8 commodore.

    the law is a crock, i got done dui, had my vl before hand, applied and had it declined. put it back to standard trim, no front mount n shit, and was denied again. the law is shit, i can wipe myself out just as easily in a standard corolla.

    the law is, an l or p plater cannot drive a vehicle of performance orientation, turbo or supercharged, and must not have any more then 6 cyl, any car classed as a performance car is in the prohibited section supplied by the rta.

    also no modifications what so ever. oh and they are going after atmo performance 4 like type r's

    and if u are over the age of 25 u r exempt from these laws, once u have cleared ur red p's

    It should say on the back of your license whether you are restricted from the high performance cars and stuff.
    I think thats all they go by, and they probly wont care if youve owned the car since you were 10.
