Border crossings
Monday, 18 December, 2006
In NSW, red P-platers can only drive at a top speed of 90kph and green P-platers can only drive at a top speed of 100kph. But in the ACT, there are no restrictions. So what happens when NSW P-platers visit the ACT? Do they obey the law of the state or the law of their home state?
Well, take note, Elsie, I got the answer straight from the NRMA's mouth. If your license was issued in NSW and you visit the ACT (or, for that matter, Victoria or anywhere else), you must adhere to NSW's laws for P-platers and not go beyond 90kph/100kph (depending which level of provisional license you hold). However, if your license was issued in ACT and you visit NSW, no such restrictions apply.
It's interesting that NSW has these different rules. We must be the worst drivers in the country.

Yes ma’am! Note taken. Was thinking we could drive via Camden for Winning Motors when we go to the ‘gong.
I want my Ps so badly!!
Just a friendly reminder for all you P-platers out there who might be visiting Dubbo.
If you come to see us, and do something stupid while on your Ps, you must expect the local newspaper to turn it into a massive media beat-up. P-PLATE OUTRAGE!!
Can I point out that piling 12 people into the back of your ute, after you’ve had a few to drink, is not a clever idea when you’re a P-plater.
Once you’re a real driver, it’s okay to do that.
-End rant-
Heheh, Fish, weren’t you a hoon in your P-plater heyday?
“Heheh, Fish, weren’t you a hoon in your P-plater heyday?”
past tense?
Still a hoon, baby!
Nuffin i like better than lapping the main street wearing my flannie shirt and ugg boots and listening to Toby Keith (you want funny/scary lyrics? try this guy for country hick-ness)
