    Default P Platers : An Explanation

    Once upon a time, when most of the human race rode in wagons and dumped their shit out windows, people fought and became victim to attacks from opposing countries.
    In the 21st century, however, it seems a countries enemy's are no longer their primary source of terror attacks. The P Platers, or "provisional drivers" if you will, are a recently formed terrorist organisation rapidly overthrowing peace and justice in our transport systems.
    The date was September 11th, 2001, early morning New York. A small group of P Platers drove a stolen aircraft into the World Trade Center; investigators have discovered excessive speed and drunk driving were to blame. This is said to be the P Platers biggest achievement to date.
    Although few P Platers have caused world wide devastation such as these attacks, ALL P Platers are at fault for the delays, accidents, traffic jams, RBT testing and speed cameras inconveniencing today's drivers.



    This is the P Platers symbol, bound to be seen at any crash site. It is currently unknown what the featuring 'P' stands for, but scientists believe it is some form of anger inspiring message directed at other drivers and designed to cause the road rage typically seen around a P Plater.
    While all P Platers carry this symbol on them during their destructive day-to-day doings, many try to conceal it under the number plates of their vehicles, These are known as Undercover P Platers and are exceptionally dangerous as they are difficult to pick out from a distance.

    This is exactly what makes it a joke, dude... lol.

    I'm a p plater too, and I find it frustrating, yet humorous, that so many people are thick enough to actually think the things you listed.

    You can't change the minds of millions by being pissed at them; just enjoy a laugh at their expense.

    I'm only on Ls, but after seeing all the news reports and seeing how so many react to P platers I find this extremely amusing and wish it had been a bit longer.

    I think the P plate is an indication to highway patrol to come and look for defects.

    I found it mildly entertaining. True to the most extent as well. You know, I have been back in the country for about 12 months now....I have been involved in 6 accidents since I've returned...SIX...way too many. Hospitalized for 3 of them....5 of them caused by a P-Plater, not being stupid but lack of attention or inexpeirence. One was by a P-Plater being stupid... Came out of a parking lot sideways fishtailing it up and down the road...when his car grabbed traction. I could see the look on his face as his car mounted the meridian strip and slammed into my parked car. At least he was thoughtful enough to do it 10 seconds after I had removed myself from the car.

    But, nope, no reason for me to pick on P-Platers at all I'm just the unlucky exception.

    Recent one being the funniest of all. The guy tried to argue with the cop that it was me at fault...he was in the left lane and I was in the right and he pulled straight in front tearing the front end of my VL off...apparently, I was at fault because he had his indicators to enter my lane and I failed to give way to him. Not sure who laughed harder...me or the cop.

    But really...that was quite funny. I remember being a P-Plater myself Oh the thoughts of invicibility come flooding back now.

    I find that offensive and deadly, eating cement is a serious issue troubling teenagers in this day and age.
