Ask a guy that has to sell his stock 350z because it's considered a "performance car"

anything.

I'm on green p's can't drive it because it's a prohibited vehicle here, absolutely stock, no turb0/supercharger. Lost my license for 3 months for driving it and I get a $500 fine. I checked RTA site before I bought it and it wasn't on the prohibited vehicle list, you have to follow two links and then it takes you to a page with it on the list. Pretty pissed off, the cop was a douche as well.

Looking for a new car now as I don't get off my P's until another 12 months. Gonna miss it :(

Here's a pic:

Any suggestions for what car I should get now? I don't really want anything else but I need a car :(

Thanks bro, that was the first time I washed it, only got it a week ago lol

that sucks considering it's not fast, has pretty poor performance, and is generally a turd.

damn, cant even imagine what it must take to drive an actual performance car around there??

POS car, srs

Apparently, no one with a provisional license can drive a vehicle with a turbocharged gas/petrol engine. Not even a turbo 4 cyl.

Good news, though:

The following vehicles are not prohibited vehicles and may be driven by provisional licence holders:

Suzuki Cappuccino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 698cc (released between 1/01/1992 - 1/12/1997).
Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible Turbo 4 659cc (released from 1/10/2003).
Smart vehicles (all models).

I didn't buy it to race it genius. And it has good performance for a quality, reasonable priced sports car. But to each their own.

uhm so what the hell did i just read? why cant you own it?

nah its because OP is on his P's, which is a licence after learners but before getting to actually drive but doesnt indicate full experience. as result people on their "P's" put a sign which says they're a provisional driver

L's > Red P's > green P's > Fulls (no signage)

once you hit your fulls, do whatevaz

Hmm, interesting system.

So wait, OP is 21. Is it normal to not have your full license by 21?

And wait, is this an actual sign?
Like, I know in Japan there are different icon magnet things that go on cars to indicate new drivers, elderly (lulz), etc. Is it the same?

Mate, even the lowest powered VW Golf 77TSI is prohibited in NSW and you need to apply for an exemption to drive it (which may not always be granted) on your Ps.

Yet, at the same time, you can drive the Golf R32 or a V6 Commodore (210kw) no problem cuz they aren't turbos

Lol, they're easy enough to detect without magnets.

Most people would get their full license around 21-22.

and yes its an actual sign (a square about 7 inches across) that you put on the front and back windscreen.
