Madaz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182121-license-age-in-sa/#findComment-3306984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissR34 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182121-license-age-in-sa/#findComment-3307182 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotwire Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182121-license-age-in-sa/#findComment-3307188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nice 28 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 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.

Madaz Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/182121-license-age-in-sa/#findComment-3308382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
