At peak times, Australia has poor public transport compared to Europe at peak times
And down under, @ 4am, I don’t think the sparrow fart express is even running

These days that’s why having a tipple or a fang can be so painful, either one of which would put a 21 yo back to square one and after a while back on their L’s...

Yea I catch the bus to work atm so you don't have to tell me about that.

It's amazing...Here the op is trying to get his licence to be independent and people are on here telling to walk, catch a bus and what the heck are you doing on L's at 21....

Geez, I see it as at least he is trying to something useful, even if he is a little older than what we were when we got our licence....Is he surposed to be like the norm kid at that age....F getting my licence....I'll rely on everyone else, or just drive unlicenced....

Heck, when I got my licence, you drove the local copper to the pub, so he could get a slab and dropped him back at the cop shop....When you got back to the cop shop, you grabbed 2 stubbies, 1 for you, the other for the copper and drank it whilst the licence was being written up

These days, you've got to do hundreds of hours in various conditions, before they even look at you getting a test...A big difference

@Benjamien.C made the first post, was give some info early on and hasn’t come back to make any further comment. Sadly it simply looks like he doesn’t have any real options for some form of limited licence he could apply for.

May be he’s shell shocked at the lack of licensing options maybe.

These days Queensland seems to be much tougher to get a licence than other states.

Yeah, the old days were much easier... My old man got his license by driving around the local pub and then parking out the front so he could buy the cop a beer

It wasn't quite like that when I got my car license. I drove to the Traffic department and parked out on the road to make it a little less obvious. Had to answer six questions and drive around the block with the cop as a passenger. No L or P plates those days.

Officer that took me for my P's said to my mother he is not a good driver but he will be ok..... In today's standards I would have failed 10 mins in. I only spent 2 months on L's. My cousin the same age did his P's in Adelaide he failed three times and last fail was due to him not checking his mirrors enough. This was in the mid-late 80's.

Driver licensing here in NZ is now privately run and I'm sure it's a money making scam, they fail plenty I'm sure just so they can charge a re-sit fee. Personally, I think it should be done in schools as having a license seems to be a prerequisite for a lot of jobs these days. It's probably the one thing the yanks have got right.
