I agree and disagree with the new P-plate laws. Im on my P1 now, I class my self as a responsible driver, (im not saying good, or experienced), I would show off, and put anyones life in danger. When I have passengers now(who are over 21), I slow down to what I would by myself, certainly dont show off or speed, not that I do when im by myself anyway. The no towing a trailer law annoys me cause I have been driving with a trailer on the farm ever since I could drive which was around 4 or 5, but alot of people wouldnt know how to, so I can see the reason for the law.
Passenger restrictions to me are just an inconvenience, such as when 3 of us went to melbourne, and the other two are **** scared to drive in the city, yet I dont have a problem, as I do it every week, yet I have to sit there and literally cousell them through it as they panic.
But in saying that, I have mates who would show off with passengers in the car, but unfortunatly those people arnt holding the passenger restriction law very high in regard anyway, the same people tow a trailer without second thought.
It has its good and bad points, but to me they are just an inconvenience, and again the minority has ruined it for the majority.
