staring at P-platers

[Shounak]

I get stares ALL the time. I drive a big, black, loud and shiny VX with big rims and FOBSTA license plates.. Of course it gets looks. My mum and girlfriend notice the extra looks they get when they drive my car.

The big red Holden P plates probably add to the looks, but I doubt it.

It also gets given way at intersections and roundabouts (noted by others and myself), only something I notice when I drive a standard 4cylinder and get no respect.

You're a P plater in a Commodore mate, no matter how safe of a driver you are. You are put in the hoon pigeon hole and you'll probably get one or two looks. Most of it though I think is that you're looking at someone and they're just looking back at you. Or you see what you want to see..

Try riding a motorbike, then you get waves from random people.. A lot of the time it's groups of chicks..

could also be the look of the car

Just tell me he drives a bright pink ford escort with fully sick body kit and 13 inch chromies.... that will explain everything

haha, it is kinda true about people only paying attention of you if you act like a tool. I used to drive one of those old Toyota Corona's up and down main street, if I wasn't driving like an idiot, no one cared or payed the slightest bit of attention. Now that I have a Commodore, sure people pay a little more attention, but really it's justified. The Commodore is louder and larger. Now atm I'm running a pretty nice sound setup, if it's down, noone cares, only the slightest bit of attention. If it's up however, or you accelerate harder than is nessecary or practical, or spin the tires slightly, you get everyone paying attention, cops tailing you along and stuff like that. Drive sensibly, respect the other people in the area your in and the stares stop.

Cause after all, 9/10 times people will only stare at you if your doing something wrong/are hot/ugly.

I haven't seemed to notice this in QLD, probably because we don't have those but ugly P plates stuck on our cars. Hell, we didn't even have to use L plates!

 

[Tasmaniak]

they are just waiting for you to screw up.

 

[Rishy]

Dude they are are probably looking at you because you are a terrible driver. I've gathered that you are a terrible driver because you are looking at looks on peoples faces rather than paying attention to where you should be looking- THE ROAD!

I was thinkin the same thing. I have never seen anyone stare at me cos i too busy watchin the road. Who cares if sumone is staring at you and giving u greasy's, just ignore it and keep ur mind on wats important, i.e. the road.

yeh i never get stared altho my car is pritty much stock as a rock and i dont have ugly P plates on me car cause im in QLD

 

[Spaced]

Right....i think you are imagining alot of this. Most epopel really do not give a crap if you are on P's or not. Perhaps you should wind your seat up a little, turn down the music and look like you are driving a vehicle?

lol give up the hooch bro it's making you paranoid

 

[drewins]

I notice pretty much every other p plater looks at you cos your on your Ps too. Its like when little kids see other little kids. They have to look. Wannabe tough c**ts look at you as opposition and always try and put on a tough looking face as you pass them. I always try to never look so it looks like I dont give a s**t about them and their car, which I dont. Unless it is an attractive young women.

People shouldn't stare at you if you're ugly, I mean, it gives them sore eyes!!

Happened to me lol... I looked at an ugly fat bastard... and my eyes hurts lol...

Too ugly to look at. J/ks.
