Bit off topic, but do the NSW learners limits apply in the ACT?
Welcome to a F****** minefield. I'm yet to find a definitive answer. here's the facts that i have found over the last month.
ANY learner in NSW has to obey the NSW learners restrictions of 80KM/hr.
ACT P's have free rein regardless of what state.

NSW Learners are restricted in NSW, however (and heres the fun part) NSW RTA will direct you to ACT Roads for an answer within the ACT. ACT Roads will tell you that they don't have any authority over your license and you need to speak to NSW RTA.  :cookoo:

I keep meaning to drop into the NSW and ACT police respectively to see just what they would do, since they're the ones handing out the tickets (or taking your license in the case of L's)

Near enough to 12500km now. had the 12K service done just before i bought it, pretty much on schedule.

I've found the police in Gungahlin good for asking questions, they are actually quite friendly. Told me that I should stick to the NSW limits for learners, "when in Rome" was the phrase they used, and that rego tube holders are fine, they don't really care as long as they can see the colour and the experation date (the large number).

Also mister, the ACT LAMS list is a fair bit bigger than the NSW list because we can have bikes bigger than 660cc. Most cruisers are on the list,  as well as some old BMW's.

In QLD those tubes are illegal. They actually state it on the rego papers your sticker comes on.
