can you drive a v8 on your ps qld Page 2

Ah, the age-old question for Queensland probationary licence holders: can you unleash a V8 beast on your PS? The short answer is, it’s not about the engine size but the power-to-weight ratio and the car’s capacity. Queensland’s P-plate restrictions focus on vehicles above 130kW (about 174 horsepower) and those considered high-performance. Many V8s easily surpass this limit, so most P-plate drivers are restricted from driving such monsters until they graduate. Your best bet is to check with the Queensland Department of Transport for the current list of restricted vehicles and power limits.
