Your given a Red/Green plate? Well THATS not easy to just turn around! WTF? Lol... Shot themselves in the foot there!

I did my test(s) at:

1. City West

2. Morley

3. Willigee

4. Joondalup

5. Morley

I never had to parallel park... yes it took me 5 attempts :ermm:

Hoon Laws

P plate night ban

Lowering speed limits

More multinovas + additional speed monitoring devices

Same Same.

Won't change the road toll.

All government / media hype.

Makes the governemnt 'look like' they're doing something good, when they can't do anything else in other things (gas crisis, petrol prices) but spend more time sniffing chairs, looking for threesomes and lifting shirts up.

I could rant for hours about all this, but meh it will do very little for the cause.

People have got to stand up for their rights, and since 17year olds can't vote then it won't effect the Government at the polling booth come election time.

An idea I kind of got from the 'Bring Krispy Kreme to Perth' thing on Facebook is maybe all the new / upcoming drivers get together and shout their opinions in mass emails / letters to the Government. The Krispy Kreme thing on FB has actually now got other medias attention because of its popularity, and I'm sure something similar (doesn't have to be on FB) would get the same responce & may cause the government to rethink their decision instead of listening to ludacris ideas of Grant Dorrington / Road Safety Council.

Hahahaha, I mean it's green on one side and red on the other.

So who gets the green p's? I'm sure I read that after 6months you use greens, but my friend said the opposite today.

:ermm:

Your friend is wrong. But they wouldn't be the first person to get them mixed up lol.

What's krispy kreme?

As for spamming the government to death with emails telling them how much they're made of fail, that sounds like it could be fun lol. If it were done properly atleast, the last thing we need is a bunch of sms-speak being sent to the government lol.

Ahh right lol. Yeah, would be easy as, although I can see "random licence checks" getting more popular during those times haha.

Edit: Just actually read your post again.. yeah, it was pretty obvious what you meant, I was just stupidly tired haha.

In a separate incident a 35-year-old learner driver from South Lake had his Holden Statesman sedan confiscated after he was clocked travelling twice the speed limit in Hammond Park.

Police were conducting laser speed checks on the Kwinana Freeway around 1.15am when the Statesman allegedly registered a speed of 203 kilometres an hour in the 100 kph zone.

He was later charged by summons with reckless driving, in excess 0.08% and contravene learners permit. He will also appear in court at a later date.

If the curfew applied to learner drivers this guy obviously would have said "oh wait I can't go out at this time of night to do a bit of drink driving with some excessive speeding on the side" and stayed at home instead.... /sarcasm

PROVISIONAL licence holders in Western Australia will be banned from driving between midnight and 5am for the first six months they hold a licence.

Usually I'm all over this "nannying" the government do but on this occasion I'm siding with the establishment. Good...a couple of drinks, overloaded car, speed, youth and inexperience do not make a good recipe. Although late night pizza might be a little more difficult to come by

:) how does that work?

I agree with the section in bold, but I fail to see how a curfew will stop this.

Well....Im a P plater and will have done my 6 months few weeks after June 30th, which doesn't really phase me all that much. In my personal experience driving after 12 when your my age does take its tole on you. As for the 6 months on your L plates, it's a great idea (although others my age may think otherwise) as like people have mensioned above, people just fudge the hours then go have traffic accident a few days after getting their P's. As long as you have justification for you travelling after 12 your not going to have any problems.

It may take its toll on those with normal sleeping patterns, but that's not me lol. Why can't people just use good judgement and common sence and not drive if they're tired or whatever?

As for the 6 months thing.. Ugh, if flamin mongrels (Edit - ROFL @ word censor) didn't fake it that wouldn't be a problem. Again, that's a handfull of people being dickheads and bringing the rest of us down.

As for justification for driving after 12.. Hrmm, only reasons they'll accept is for work, so I'm stuffed.

Everything can be blamed on the lowest common denominator it seems, lol.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
