AutoExec Summary
The introduction of a new licence class for ultra high-performance cars in South Australia has not received support from other states. South Australian drivers will need a ‘U-class’ endorsement for ultra high-performance vehicles from December 1, 2024. While Victoria remains open-minded, New South Wales and Queensland have no current plans to introduce such a licence. The South Australian initiative aims to highlight the risks of driving high-powered cars through an online course for U-class licence applicants. The state also prohibits the deliberate disabling of automated intervention systems on ultra high-performance vehicles. The combined populations of Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland constitute 81% of the nation’s total population.
