Most of my friends have (19 / 20 also, same as me) yet I haven't yet? Maybe I'm the special one? Or they're keeping track of people with less then full demerit points? Haha.

Yeah, as of July 1st. Apparently if you've been on normal P's for atleast a year, you only have to wear the green P's and none of the laws comply to you? Or not the stupid ones atleast.

I'm pretty sure that's how it goes malaka, it would be stupid otherwise.

I mean, it's alredy kind of stupid; agreed? Their idea to keep P-Platers safe is to... limit? How many P platers can be in one car at once, thus putting more P-platers on the road, and creating more danger? *shrugs*

I the Australian Government.

...... not.

Yeah I got mine today too. I reckon they look gay and I prefer the red ones (probably because my car is also red). I also think this idea is stupid - surely it would cost them MUCH less to introduce the new system with GREEN as the first year and then go to red. Means everyone currently on the red system can just keep theirs rather than all being sent new P plates. Also means P-Platers on their first year out are more easily identified with the green P plates...

Anyone agree?

i agree! i also think that they want more cars on the road so that they will buy more petrol and then the petrol company (secretly owned by the government DUN DUN DUN) gets more money?

i dont really know what the new green plates entail .
but if it cuts down on accidents and the road toll it'll be ok .

we wont see any results on weather it does or not for another year or two tops.

will p plater hoons that get "caught" get put back in colour of plates as punishment at all ?

Don't quote me but I'm guessing that is a Yes then. Because you will need that as a minimum to get your Ps under the new system?

they're f***ing disgusting and ugly!!! if i threw up, i wouldn't know which one to clean up, the puke or the green plates, they both look alike.

i agree with kayelle with giving newbie P1 drivers the green plates. The green makes it stand out more and therefore suits newbies who should be targetted, identified and stigmatised!

oh yeah, the LAME cartoon on how to dispose our red plates is just bad taste! and not mature esp for p platers.

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.

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...
