Hahaha. Speaking of;

Was out a couple days ago, to the drive-ins, pulled into the drive-ins driveway about 100m before a booze / drug bus was, sending a text, seeing where my gf was. Anyway. Booze bus sent a patrol car down after me, here I am, just casually parked on the furthest side of the driveway, cop hits the sirens / alarms etc etc....... ...... wasn't even moving.

... wtF? :|

lol they like to target us...then again majority of the drivers on the road cant drive and they aren't P plates. Seriously, not every week a P plater crashes and kills someone. They should bring a law where EVERYONE should take a test every so many years to renew their license. They are some shockers out there...

I think that it should be compulsary for all drivers to do an advanced driving course, before they even think of giving out P plates.

What, 120 hours over two years on the road isn't enough?

Mate, do you really think that 120 hours is all you need to drive??

"Mate", do you really think our government would stuff around with the most dangerous environment, the roads?
Road rules are set accordingly to ensure that, if everyone follows it, no accidents will occur.
What are you talking about with "advanced driving course"? How advanced do you want to go? I don't understand your logic of thinking.

It takes years to be any good at driving and then only if you get the experience in all road conditions and types of roads etc. Most people still can't drive correctly around trucks. So 120 hrs is not nearly enough.

WiiKing said: I got done the other night. Breath test, drug test, roadworthy, the works. I ended up with $185 fine and 2 demerit points taken off me for not having P plates correctly put up. One had fallen off the back window and was just laying on the back dashboard. I didn't even notice and he said that I got off easy. Must have been trying to reach his quota I reckon!!!

MugaHay said: I tend to think 120 hours is enough, but you get more than enough in experience anyway. Not everyone is an idiot driver. Still, I am still learning just about every day and I have been driving for 10 years now. Even my parents are still learning, it all depends who is on the road. Dermy I tend to think that was a bit of a silly comment, unless you were being sarcastic.
7 months and nothing wrong and you live in Victoria, lucky you

Whatever. Clearly it is, or the government will change it, YET again. I didn't do 120 hours, and I knew everything there was to driving on a road. Passed my license test first go. I have been on my P's for about 7 months now, and still nothing has gone wrong.

MugaHay said: I don't think you got what I was saying Styg.... I am saying 120 hours is enough, you can't punish everyone with more hours as not everyone is a stupid butt driver. And as I mentioned, you do get enough experience on the road and really the "idiot" drivers can lose their license and then they can learn their lesson.
I know all about the other drivers on the road, this is called defensive driving of which I do every day.
