VIC Roads P-Plate Turbo-exemption approval process

[xiashun]

Hi Guys,

I cant wait to drive my new golf! VicRoad said they received my application this tuesday, might take one or two weeks to progress.

My new golf is crying in the dealer shop now T.T

I am just wondering how long any of green P-plate drivers actually waited to get the silly approve?

Many thanks!

Hi Mate,

I've renamed this thread title so it's clearer, and I've moved it to General, as it applies to any turbo based VW (Polo, Tiguan, Jetta, etc).

I applied twice for the P-plate turbo exemption with no luck.

They'll occasionally allow turbo Kei-Cars past. Guess it comes down to your age.

I waited 'til I was 21. Guess that doesn't help you too much?
How old are you anyway, if I may ask?

Ah ok - I was afraid I'd lose the 'youngest 118 TSI owner' title around here

How old are you? I think I still hold then 'youngest Jetta TDI owner' title

OP: At least your exemptions are reasonable. The only way an exemption will be approved in QLD is if it's the only car in the household, or you purchaed it before the new P plate laws came in back in July of 2007. Not even the Golf 77TSI can get approval outside of these conditions.

I'm 21 (at least for one more week anyway)

I see... Perhaps I should get a 118 instead of a 147

but how many days you waited to get after the submittion?

Wait what.....you can be granted exemption? :O On what grounds?

Out of all the turbo and V8 p-platers i know, ive only ever heard of 2 people being busted for driving a performance car....out of like 80 people. I dont think you have to worry to much about it.

I've never applied for one, so I can't be too sure of the process and how long it takes.

I'll be going on my opens in about three weeks, I won't need to submit an exemption from November the 7th onwards.

In other words, OP has to show cleavage to get the exemption sped up. Now why didn't I think of that?
