Yeah totally agree Leeman, I will even go for more hours. 250 hours round-a-bout driving (500 hours on how to drift around them), 500 hours on stopping on red lights, 250 hours on how to slow down for amber lights and 1000 hours on how to do burnouts on the green.

Hahahaha. I'm willing to teach how to drift around the round-abouts, and maybe the burnouts on the green. Not too bad for a front-wheel drive wagon

Over here in WA in order to get your P plates its only 25 Hours in 6 months, from the age of 16 and a half to 17, then 2 years on red P's. the hours system is faulted though. Its true that more hours will mean you get better practice, but some people learn to drive at a faster learning level, some at slower. I got my license from doing my test with a cop, and not a single crash...yet, in 2 and a half years

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.


My car was parked outside my house in March. The road is wide enough to have a car parked each side and still two cars passing each other, it is a 50 zone. It was a fine day andabout 1p.m. I heard screech than bang! A P-plater with more than 12 months experience ran right into my car. There were no other cars on our road at the time. She didn't see it! Over $8,0000 worth of damage. Was off the road for 5 weeks!

Hyundai Elantra (only had 35,000 on the clock). The girl was obviously doing more that 50 kms because she hit the brakes before she hit my car. The impact was enough to blow all my tyres,wreak all my alloys and it bent the chassis!

i think the government are just doing all this for the lulz.

i got my Ls after the july laws came in up here in QLD, but whats this, a pretty sticker on my log book that states 'only have to do 60 hours' my life got so much easier because i was already 16 and 6 months (im now 19) i only have another 30 hours to go

Write-off! She had no injuries thank goodness.
Her car ended up in front of mine, mounted the gutter was heading for a tree, luckly a large rock dislodged just before the tree and threw her car back onto the road.
Her father arrived before the cops and was coaching her to say the the steering didn't respond instead of what she originally said that she didn't see my car and had looked away to do something!

Man you guys need to stop whinging. The green Ps have been in place in NSW for aaages and the 120 hours for Ls has been in place for at least 2 years. They're just bringing Victoria into line with the civilised parts of the country.

Although I will say I think the passenger limit/curfew is ridiculous. What better way to encourage drink driving than to make it impossible for a designated driver program to work? Nice one.

Yeah, I agree. Victoria finally got their act together. Also, that designated driver situation doesn't help...

I know, isn't it just?

I feel disgusting, having to wear this thing.

WORST part of it; VicRoads send around this accompanying letter with ways to 'destroy your old red P-Plates'.
These ways include:
* Putting it into a blender.
* Making a plane out of it and throwing it to your brother.
* Using it as a sail on a boat, and watching it dissapear into the horizon.
* Using it as a dart-board.
* Writing a postcard on it to your gran.
And one more lame lame lame idea.
