[Nick.]

Hey, im a learner went for a drive to lorn and i got done in 60 zone doing 65.

do learners get a chance.. because they are learning and unexpierence?

thanks, cant really find much on the net.

lol nah dont think they get special consideration for speeding. no one does.

otherwise everyone would try to claim it if they were speeding. + just encourages people to speed more since they know they could get out of it.

If anything i think you will have the L's suspended?

Fark been a while and i can't remember exactly.

Best off to ring VicRoads mate for 100% assurance of what happens.

[RCHOO]

Did you get a on the spot fine.

Or speed camera.

[Nick.]

speed camera, and yeah tried ringing vic roads but missed out by like 6 mins ahah

If it was a speed camera there's a good chance you weren't drivin at the time.

nice!

Either pay it and cop it on the chin, lose 1 point (5 points total) or you weren't driving at the time

There'll be learner plates in the photo though, so do you want someone else to be done for driving under false pretenses?

[Birds]

Good point llama. I'm pretty sure learner drivers have the same points as P platers. A friend got a fine on his L plates and managed to plead leniancy by swearing he wouldn't speed again. Though if you ask me, learner speeds and instructor should be copping the fine...

[krzysztof]

from memory if there is a learner plate in the photo the L plater and the supervising driver BOTH get fines...

dont quote me but this is how i have believe it works..

unlucky.

[Birds]

dont quote me but this is how i have believe it works..

Sorry, couldn't resist

Well, my folks are paying it because they are they driver really, they should be watching the speed for me and advising me not to speed, thats what they said, im not gunna argue lol... but i do believe learners get a chance. ah well ill call vicraods tomorrow

Dont call Vicroads.. Just see what happens first.

[krzysztof]

Lol, I thought it was your job to watch your own speed, as you ARE the driver? I think if you are old enough to drive, you should be old enough to take the responsibility of your actions

I know this, but thats what my parents said. lol

[llama_au]

Then that's not a great attitude for them to have. You're driving, you're responsible for speeding.

+1 That being said, I see parents leaving stupid L plates on their cars ALL the time because they either couldn't be bothered to take it off or just forgot...you SURE you were driving at the time?

[llama_au]

It's a fine for full licensed drivers to display L or P plates too.
