P plate roumor

[Trayner]

Has anyone heard the P plate roumor floating around that the brumby gov is going to take the new P plate laws away , as more people have been in more crashes from them?

[Grennan]

No i havent heard it and it sounds like pure horse poop.

Why would the government take away these new laws when:

A) theyve just spent millions implementing and creating them.

and

B) to the general public (read: the average teenager hating voter) these laws seem to be doing a bang up job and there is no fault with them what so ever.

[Cobez]

Exactly ^^^^ Not to mention the support the new laws have gotten.


A rumour is just that....... a rumour.

Where may i ask did you hear that anyway? And what makes you think there have been MORE crashes because of the laws? Have you got any stats or solid evidence to back that up? Sounds like a load of crap to me.

[KiWi1]

What Sh1ts me is....

The new laws made old P Platers go onto Greens, When they should of made new P platers Green, like Sydney.

Speaking of Sydney, All new P Platers in Vic, should have an 80km/h max, and harsher penalties, as in 3 points in 2yrs or speeding above 15km/h, suspension!!

Flame me, sif i care. But earn ya right to drive on the road!! Plus, there are a hell of alot more cars on the roads these days.

Haha i think in NSW now its get 1 driving offence and you loose your license. Essentially you have 1 point Haha cant wait, another couple of months and i wont have to listen to all the stupid p plate rumor crap.

But those that cannot spell basic words, such as rumour, will have to keep the P plates.

The other rumour is these people will have an 'I' for illiterate next to their user names on forums.

Sif flame!! I bloody agree man!! They should construct some sort of graduation system for new P platers, say a 3 step P plate graduation.

EG:

Stage 1: 80km limit, no car mods, 1 passenger max and a compulsory defensive driving course.

Stage 2: Same as stage 1 but allowed 2 passengers at certain times, maybe a further defensive driving course.

Stage 3: 100km limit, can have 4 passengers at certain time, no mods, must hold a certificate of defensive driving course in car at all times.


Or something to that effect........

[VL_5SPEED]

Mehhhhh they should just leave it as it is. Laws are made to be broken... The government can spend millions of dollars making and enforcing these laws and its only going to help save a few lives each year...

Hell I still remember the first day my mate got hes P's, we got in his parents vy v6 and were doing 190kmph down to mcdonalds. Or the time my mates bro was caught drag racing in his v8 VL calais doing 180kmph leading the cops on a highway pursuit, then running from the car and the cops pulling guns out on him... he was a P plater and only got 1 week in jail, lost his licence for 3 years... These days it would be 20 years in jail.


At the end of the day the 90% of drivers break the law everyday.

[minux]

erm 80 max limit, yeh thats smart. Bloody downright dangerous in 100 zones having a 20 km/h difference.

Been working in Sydney for years champ.......

Its called the left lane

And a BIG GREEN "P"

HeHe hey bro. Good opinion too. I was expecting at least one P plater or uninformed person to flame, no one yet...... well of importance that is

Oh so you only have dual lanes on every road in NSW? Obviously that has changed in the 5 years I havent lived there.

[KiWi1]

What ****s me is Cobez. The $$$$ they wasted on making old P Platers, Green P Platers.

[CSP]

ACT has never had speed limits for P plate or L plate drivers simply because it's extremely unsafe to have them going significantly slower than the other traffic.

NSW laws are stupid!

Actually mate you are wrong there, P1 (red) drivers have a maximum speed limit of 90km, P2 (green) drivers have a maximum speed limit of 100km. Used to be 80km p/h ages ago but has since been changed

Exactly, funny thing is, watch all the full icensed drivers drive like ********s sitting behind somedoing 10 or 20 below a driver lol.

Provide better training and give everyone the same rules to drive by, end of story.

[KiWi1]

Agreed on that!

Driver training, longer sessions driving as a L-plater, harder testing. Fixing the roads would be a good thing too.

I think somebody is pulling your ****er on that one mate. Don't hold your breath.

i think the idea of max speed for 1st year p platers is good idea. i dont think it would cause too much problems on the freeway as most freeways have dual lanes.

Most places i drive there is always one driver doing well under the limit anyway.

If P platers are limited in there first year to 80km/h it may just save some lives. If experienced drivers can not handle a car doing under the limit and drive safely around them then they too should not be on the road.

[matt_gotigers]

80km/h speed limits are a bit harsh..im 5 months from gettin off p's and never had an infringment, never had an accident or been in one, i think these passenger restrictions are a joke and feel sorry for 18 year olds, its just going to eliminate car pooling for uni students, things like car pooling to the city on a weekend and to partys etc so its jus gona get more inexperienced driving on the road come night time..can you get your p's at 17 in sydney?

[Nanos]

i agree on the passenger restrictions. i think they are wrong as well as it will cause another set of problems.

But something needs to be done to cap what the new drivers do. I am so tired of seeing new drivers on the road thinking they are the next peter brock.

i think its about time more education was done also. i think it should be compulsary to do a advanced drivers course for all new p platers. And i still think some sort of speed restriction is needed

I htink even maybe a night curfew as well

[matt_gotigers]

i could agree with perhaps having to a driving coarse and perhaps a harder/test or series of tests to get the license but we've gota get around come night time too, the hoon laws are in to prevent d**kheads, i think they get their cars back too easily though.

If only every 'current' driver earned their right aswell. Some of them are worse than fresh L platers.

[TVR-190]

im sick of every second thread being about p plater laws, with P platers complaining about the laws being bad and the old guys complaining about the laws being good

D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F

AGREED FULLY!! (rep points bro)
