Well in '96 I got my L's on my 16th birthday (July 8), and then they day I was 16yrs 6mnths (Jan 8th) I had my P's

Think its still the same age but the age thing. Check out the link Cara posted

you hold you p1s for 1 year and your p2s for 2 years.

you guys are lucky

hahaha when i got my license i think you only had to wait like 3 months i had 3 driving lessons and took to the roads with the test instructor and got 3 marks against me wohoo P's first time in a manual

and what used to be centerlink and job search they paid for my driving lessons

[MissR34]

thats how it should be i think same as vic, give the kids more time to learn how to drive instead of handing them what can be consided a lethal weapon 6 months down the track after getting their L's

my 2c ne ways

Kind of agree with you Cara. I'll admit, at 16 I had already been driving on and off for a few years when I went bush with my dad, so I had some prior knowledge of how to handle a car.

BUT majority of ppl on still have no idea on how to control their hormones at 16 let alone a car

i think that it is also a bit young to be getting your p's at that age

and especially with only 50 hours experiene needed.

it should be something more like 250 hours and a harder test in my opinion.

i dont see why they got rid of the instructor thats a pretty nerve racking experience and if you can pass that test in a manual then i think your ready to drive

did anyone watch the last chance learners tv show was soo funny

yeah got l's on my 16th bday (11.11.93 I think)

did the log book, had it all signed off in 3 lessons (1 was a double), had to wait until the 6th month to get the P's

my cousin's "instructor" fell asleep while she was having a lesson.

shame.
