Hi,

I have a friend whose daughter has just got her P Plate Licence in NSW. At the moment they are in QLD for his brothers wedding and he has let his daughter drive part of the way in QLD.

They are under the impression that P Platers in QLD have NO restrictions on speed limits other than to drive at the posted limits: ie if on Bruce Hwy and the limit is 110K then she can do 110K legally.

Because of this belief, he is letting her drive at the posted speed limits in QLD and then when they get to the border, he takes over so that he can drive at the posted speed limits instead of her being restricted to 90K in NSW.

I reckon thats not right. If she has a P Plate in NSW and is restricted to 90K, then thats is 90K in any state regardless of the state she holds her licence in.

I thought that all the states have agreed now on P Plate speed limits

Am I right, or is my mate right.

Cheers,

Cruiser
