I just got a quote from justcars for me 18years old male with a XR6T? becasue they said they will cover me, am I covered if I have a crash? even when I said to them I am a P plater in vic. if they siad they will cover me and I pay what I owe them I should be 100% covered? right becuase I don't wont to be in a crash and then they say they wont cover me becasue im drving a T. this is not a problem about the cops and there new law because that wont affect me. it just I need to know that if they will cover me

If they give you an insurance certificate and everything is correct then there's no reason why they won't

ok cool, becasue it not a cop thing that is stoping me drving a T, it was a insurance thing, so hopefully ill be able to get my T

however if it is against the law in your state to be driving a car that is of above allowed spec, then you may find a few issues in other areas - ie cops etc...

Just cos the insurance says - 'here you go your covered' they may not know all the relevant laws within your state which may become an issue in future events and therefore land you in a non insured situation - insurance companies love loop holes which benefit them!!!

The old law will still effect you mate e.g. power to weight and if your only 18 so will the new one.

I used just car when I was on my P's but always new if it was writen off idd be stuffed.

You might want to wait until you can legally drive a Turbo before you get one and run the risk.

There is a reason that young drivers are excluded from these cars and that is because they are a handfull for new drivers.

Learn to drive in a low powered RWD first, then after a few years move to a turbo. It would be nice for you to see your 21st birthday, rather than just being a memory.

^^^ Mal, don't waste your breath.

if you are driving the car illegally ie contrary to any state laws , technically you are not covered. End of story.

Its not worth risking it cause of a dumb arse at Just Cars says they can cover you.

Best to buy a crap box and learn to drive that and get a Turbo for your 21st Birthday.
