March 26, 200917 yr comment_331564 When I learnt to drive I did it with my Dad, and spent hours driving late at night when no cars are around to build my skills before I went out in peak hour traffic. :( I learnt to drive in the industrial estate on Kooragang Island, where the roads are wide enough for B-doubles to do U-turns. Picked it up so quickly that I was able to drive home that day (after probably 45 minutes wheel-time), which was 15 minutes and 10km away Report
March 28, 200917 yr comment_331911 I am well past high school and definitely not emo or... wait for it "straight edge" SLO-030 - about the learners, there is a time and place for learning. When you first start out, drive at times of the day when less cars are on the road. When your skills develop, then yes, drive at all different times to learn what the roads are like. The particular learner that "grinded my gears" looked like they got their L's that morning out of their cereal packet and thought, hey mum I'll drive to school this morning. Had absolutely no idea at all and held up all traffic. When I learnt to drive I did it with my Dad, and spent hours driving late at night when no cars are around to build my skills before I went out in peak hour traffic. :( True True, I learnt to drive on my uncles farm (well before my licence) and dirt roads. I guess I'm pretty lucky, in the peak hour traffic the only thing that holds up traffic is the busses. and all the L platers at least have a clue. WGMG: Going out with my mate on a scavenger hunt sorta thing. Decided to pick up our friend and her sister. Turns out our friend was having a bit of a tiff with her boyfriend and they were on their way out any ways. That was about 9pm. Went driving around doing various activities as part of the scavenger hunt thing. Dropped off our friend and her sister at their house at about 3am. While i was sitting in the drivers seat waiting for my mate to get back in while the 3 of them got stuff out of the boot. All of a sudden our friends boyfriend and his mate rock up out of no where. Slams his girlfriend out of the way, uses stand over tactic on my mate before whacking him against the boot of the ol rolla :). We both made a quick get away. What WGMG out of that uis that the boyfriend had gone out earlier with 2 other girls after having that tiff, then comign back and gettign all physical with his grilfriend and my mate. All because she went out with us. Good thing to come out of it that our friends sister is a good looker :) Report

March 28, 200917 yr comment_332045 Didnt know there was L plate laws aswel. I guess they'd be similar to P plate laws ( In terms of car restrictions) Cops mightnt worry seeing as its a 80,000 merc and mum or dad is sitting in the passenger seat. Report

Nah I meant it doesn't come under the learner legal laws because it is supercharged. Didnt know there was L plate laws aswel. I guess they'd be similar to P plate laws ( In terms of car restrictions) Generally learners don't have the V8/turbo/supercharged restriction (down here they don't), most likely because there is supposed to be a responsible supervising driver in the seat next to them so they're not likely to go hooning off into the sunset. Although pretty sure some of the low-blown Mercs and turbo Saabs etc just got taken off the restricted list down here, because they're not actually that fast and still pretty damn safe in a crash.

March 29, 200917 yr comment_332362 Well it makes sense. Of course, but for a long time the P-plate restrictions list _did't_ make sense, took them long enough to take turbo diesels and Kei cars off the list, let alone low-blow Eurobarges. Report
March 29, 200917 yr comment_332367 no its retarted as hell...you can drive turbo/v8/supercharged cars on ya l's but not on ya p's unless you are over 25. lucky for me i only have to wait a year to drive the soarer. Report

So? On your L's you are restricted enough as it is, you've most likely got a naggy over-protective parent or driving instructor looking over your shoulder, chances are it's not your car anyway, so it doesn't really matter what you drive. P's bring independence and peer pressure. Which encourages hooning. Which means that powerful cars should be restricted. Report
