Do you mean like a performance/safety course on a skidpan/track? I think you have to spend a certain number of hours with a driving instructor here. However, I am not sure. I think they just hope that after 120 hours (mostly wrong) is enough to justify not having a proper driving course. I probably spent about 40 hours until my instructor thought I was ready to take the P-Platter test. I think people will be very upset if they have to pay for driver training in more than 120 hours of driving. But to be honest, every young driver should be forced to lose control of the vehicle and recover. People learn from their mistakes and in a controlled environment that would be very beneficial. Could even scare a few people so they don`t drive like a stubborn. With a power-to-weight ratio of less than 130 kW/t, the all-new Toyota GR Yaris P plate is legal. There are exceptions in South Australia, such as Victoria, where turbocharged or turbocharged vehicles that have low horsepower and were designed for efficiency rather than power are allowed to drive for P-platlers. More information is available here. Victorian P-platers may also operate vehicles under the club licence registration system (i.e. under the system for vehicles 25 years of age or older), unless the vehicle has different engine power changes than those made by the vehicle manufacturer.
In Victoria, the same rules apply, except that there is no blanket exemption for diesel vehicles and Victoria also lists certain naturally aspirated six-cylinder high-performance vehicles on the list of prohibited vehicles. Some supercharged or turbocharged vehicles can be powered by a P-board. Here you can find the database for prohibited vehicles in Victoria and more general information about P licence plate vehicle restrictions can be found here. In all of the above states, P-platlers are only allowed to drive vehicles modified by the manufacturer. Recent changes to restrictions on P-licence plate vehicles in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia allow these drivers to drive a vehicle with a power-to-weight ratio of less than 130 kW per tonne. Removing access to powerful cars obviously eliminates some of the inherent danger that arises when an inexperienced driver sits behind the wheel of a vehicle that requires a certain level of experience to drive. Exceptions that can be powered by a P-platler are: Suzuki Cappuccino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 657-698cc (1992-1997); Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Cabriolet Turbo 4.659cc (2003 or later); Smart Fortwo Coupe 2D Turbo 3,698 cc (2000 or more); Smart Fortwo Cabriolet Turbo 3 2D 698cc (2000 or later); Smart Roadster Turbo 3 2D 698cc (2000 or higher); Toyota LandCruiser. No vehicle class restrictions and P-Plattler can only earn four demerit points before losing its driver`s license.
With a power-to-weight ratio of less than 130 kW/t, the all-new Toyota GR Yaris P plate is legal. There is another large group of cars that meet the 130 kW/t rule, but cannot be driven by a P-platler. The RMS list of restrictions for beginners and high-performance vehicles includes more than 600 vehicles that authorities consider too risky for young drivers. Let`s try to review the P-plate laws in every state and territory in Australia. However, there is a loophole for a P-license plate exception for high-performance cars: if you can prove that the car is legally used for business purposes, driving is allowed. In addition, Victoria allows P-flatters to drive certain Ford Ecoboost, Holden turbo and Nissan turbo vehicles (without exception) provided they have a power-to-weight identifier at the time of the build plate (vehicles manufactured before January 1, 2010) indicating that they have less than 130 kW per tonne of power per weight. The above states also offer exemptions for P badges that drive prohibited vehicles according to work requirements or if they have no choice but to drive such a car. In most cases, an application must be made to the competent national road authority in order to apply for a permit in such circumstances. Queensland is a great place to live, and having a car is one of the best ways to see more.

A list of VicRoads P license plates and more information can be found here. The NSW rule of 130 kW per tonne applies to almost all vehicles and therefore opens up the possibility for P-plattlers to drive forced induction vehicles or vehicles with eight or more cylinders – provided they comply with the power/weight limit. Prior to August 2014, almost all of these cars were banned from P-licence plates. • A vehicle modified to alter the engine power of vehicles manufactured in South Australia before 1 January 2010 prohibits P-platers from driving the vehicle if: To ensure you are buying a legal vehicle with a P licence plate in Queensland; You can check the condition of a performance vehicle on the Queensland Transport and Services website. The list is not exhaustive. For example, if you are a P-Plalater or a relative or friend of a P-Plattler who owns a classic Holden, the 1978 VB Holden Commodore 4.2 V8 is approved for a P-Plattler. However, if you want to drive vehicles very similar to the 1979 VH Commodore series, they are not on the list. There are exceptions in South Australia, such as Victoria, where turbocharged or turbocharged vehicles that have little power and are designed for efficiency rather than performance are allowed to drive for P-platers.
