Question

how can i tell by looking at licence if i can drive v8 cars or if there restrictions ,restriction codes on p1 licences in nsw

Answer 1

Going by your info (I'm assuming you've been issued with you P1 after 11 July 2005) you'll definitely will have a restriction/condition on your licence. Check what's on the back of your licence next to conditions. It'll have a description of the condition.



There are restrictions on what vehicles you can drive (they're called prohibited vehicles); v8's, some v6's, some turbo charged & super charged vehicles, vehicles with engine modifications etc. The first link below is for the list of prohibited vehicles, the second link is the link for P1 & P2 licence conditions.



If you think you have a valid reason for needing to drive a prohibited vehicle, you can apply for an exemption (it's all on the second link below).

Answer 2

my first car was a v8 but I never heard have p1 licence

Answer 3

It depends when you got your licence.



You need to ring the RTA and ask them if you are covered by the new (IMO VERY SMART) P Plate laws.



You shouldnt be driving a V8 for your first car.

Answer 4
