can u drive a v6 on p plates Page 4

Mostly yes: in Australia a V6 isn’t automatically banned for P‑platers — the rules are about power‑to‑weight and “high‑performance” status, not cylinder count.

If the car isn’t on your state’s prohibited list and doesn’t blow past the power‑to‑weight limit (and isn’t a spicy turbo/supercharged petrol without an exemption), you’re generally fine.

Think sensible V6 family sedan: likely okay; track‑toy special with big numbers: probably not.

Rules do vary by state and model year, so check your licensing authority’s vehicle checker before you go shopping — fines and demerits are a lousy first‑car mod.
