Ok, Ok, I can't be bothered quoting and doing massive page replies...
I think Chronicle, you are agreeing now with what I said, but you are just not completely understanding what I have been trying to get across. You have to drive to the conditions of your licence!!!
We ALL agree that it is highly unlikely that you will get booked as a breach of your Probationary conditions in a different state because of different state laws, HOWEVER this doesn't mean that it is legal to do so, it just means that it is unlikely to happen. Regardless, it is still a breach of your licence condtions, licence conditions aren't isolated to driving within your state of issues boundaries! If they were, then we would never be able to drive interstate!
Ok, i said I wasn't going to quote, but I will because you just contridicted what you said, and agreed with what I said!

eg: an SA P Plater being pulled over for doing 100 in NSW when NSW licence holders are limited to 80.

In this example here, if a Victorian P Plater is in NSW, they are entitled to do 100 regardless of how long they have had their licence, as Victoria doesn't have a 2 stage P Plate system like NSW, and the same would hold for a South Australian in NSW.

What you just said here totally agrees with what I said. You drive to what your licence conditions are! So you just proved that what you said about speeds is not necessarily wrong, but not entirely correct. Let me put it straight what you have said again;
a. Yes a NSW p plater can go and do 110 in victoria, BUT it doesn't mean that it is legal! They are technically breaching the conditions of their licence.
b. There is a difference between being legal, and the Police not policing it, and in this case the Police wont police this issue with interstate drivers. The same can be said for car defects, I had a car in QLD and I went into an RBT and i distinctly recall the officers saying "We should defect this car, but it got SA rego and we don't know what applies in that state"
So in summary, yes you are correct about the fact you cannot be fined/prosecuted if a statute doesnt exist in your state, BUT IT STILL ISN'T LEGAL to breach the conditions of your licence.
