The most over governed, red taped, Nanny state bit of turf in the werelllllld:D. Down here.

Red P plate first year, Green P second year. Zero alcohol and no points with engine restrictions on what you can drive. No V8s and No turbos.


I'm thinking it must be a 2.0. Because Pathera grey was not available here 3.3?

In Victoria inexperienced drivers are on P plates for four years.
Ist year Red P plates and can only carry one passenger or family members,
Second to fourth year Green Plates that must be displayed at all the times.

Just checked with the wife Green P plates 2 years with 3 or 4 demerit points in NSW.

What's the P for? Provisional?

Yes mate it means Provisional. Despite what the resident non expert Merlin says, it’s got nothing to do with the amount of km you drive, it’s based on years/age.
L plate for learner drivers. Must have an instructor at all times (just need a full licence to be qualified) speed limited to 80km per hr. Need to be aged 16yrs or above, and hold this licence for at least 12 months.
Red P plate (Provisional P1) can be applied for at age 17, have to have logged minimum 120hrs driving time as a learner, speed limited to 90km per hr. Also have to complete a computer test. Drivers aged over 25 don’t need to log the 120hrs.
Green P plate (Provisional P2) must have had P1 for 12 months, speed limited to 100km per hr. Hold this for 36 months but can move to full unrestricted licence after 24 months if you haven’t been suspended for speeding offences whilst on the Provisional licence.
There’s limits on the engine size HP etc whilst on Provisional licences, same for motorbikes. Also limits on number of passengers under 21 at certain times of the day unless exempt. You have a reduced number of available demerit points on the lower licence compared to a full licence holder so infringements from the police are more likely to cost you your licence.

Maybe when you bother to read all the posts, fight the urge to post every little brain fart you have in response to what others have put up and you may find the threads won’t derail as much. Naturally when you post something especially when it’s incorrect people are going to respond which in turn just keeps the thread heading off on the tangent. As for being the expert. On the specific issue of certain models of Stinger being banned for certain types of Australian licence holders (particularly in NSW) which is what sent us down this path following a posted picture of a wild sighting in Sydney, I would suggest that almost 20 years experience in the largest law enforcement agency in the country would make me the subject matter expert. I don’t however claim it on all things Stinger, there’s plenty of others on the forum that would qualify as the expert on other topics based on their background and experience. Which brings us back to why I posted about licence classes etc when someone from your side of the world asked if the P plate shown in that picture meant “Provisional”. It’s also why I corrected what you posted.

Pardon me for not fighting the urge to post a response to your explanation (up here, a "brain fart" is a lapse of memory, not a propensity to just blather on the Interwebs), but I never was that concerned about threads getting derailed.
off topic.webp
Coming from an Aussie, your concern is lol funny. You guys get going! And the rest of us just have to click forward one to three pages to find out where the off topic silliness finally wound down and an on topic comment resumed the thread.:laugh:

Now, I did not derail without a good purpose (not just entertaining myself): I wanted to know how a banned car could drive around with one of those provisional licenses. And you cleared up the misconception (started by another) and provided your bona fides (forgot you were a coply person; I think I knew that before). Thanks again.
