i think for questions like this its not can u do it,
its who knows if u can or cant,
i think 99.99% of cops would have no clue,
thus u wont get pulled over anyway

works for a lot of things ( like how many Vic cops know SA L platers have a 80k speed limit)

Mate, Vic Cops won't care if your driving faster than 80k in vic, once you cross the border, you become their meat. Like when i drove past a NSW cop on my vic L's on the way to vic i didn't realise NSW had 80k speed limits for l's i got a flash on the lights i slowed down and they turned the lights off and pretty much let me on my way
