Speeding On P's

[Panko]

No offense mate, I think you've got to change your name to bus_guy

[FrangaR33]

so within 5 weeks he says he is on green p plates - i smell something not right going on..

Over 21 perhaps? People over 21 go straight to the green P's when they pass their test.

[PIOTREK]

lol i reckon lock this tread! serious i guess everyone has already said you are an idiot.

How many hrs did you do on your Lz?

I remember gunning it once because i didn't want to stop at a red. Unlucky having an ethnic father lol but i learnt the hard way and still remember what yellow means

wow.. i did not know that..

lol so 21 year olds are MENT to be responsible straight away with a car lol?

[Charles89]

Hahaha LMAO.. Im just laughing!

Spotted u yesterday on Nepean hwy around 1-2pm..?

LOL, you can do whatever you pleased

And yea, woulda been me, city bound? Was going to uni

[KezR33]

wow.. i did not know that..

They're still on their greens.

And stopping 21+ year olds from driving with more than one under 21yo seems a bit silly.

[bluejeans]

doesnt green p's mean u dont have a restriction on passengers at all?

[KezR33]

Exactly. Take me for example, I'm 25 and lost my licence nearly 2 years ago. Why would I care if they put me on reds (short of having to wait an extra year) and stopped me from carrying more than one <21yo in my car?

None of my mates are under 21, at least none that I hang out with on a regular basis.

There is no such thing as Straight to green p's now unless you are still under the old law before July 2007 I think (If you got your learners before that date then yes you would go straight on)...

I know this cos I called them up and they told me something like that! Im 21 and still on my red p's cos I did the stupid thing of not getting my license when I lived in portugal!! failll

And the law has changed, red p platers arnt allowed from the age of 16 to 22 which was previously 16 to 21...

really? a friend of mine just got her license in march, straight to green p's.

[Serg]

really? a friend of mine just got her license in march, straight to green p's.

When did she get her learners? was it ages ago before the red p's law came out?? Cos i tried everything, i tried to wait until 21 but then the new law came out, i tried to get it converted to green when i turned 21 and they told me nahh

EDIT:

Just found it in one of vic roads pdf's...

If you are over 21 you go straight one...

Humm i better recheck my case then cos since april im 21 and they told me nah, u gotta stay on ur reds! grrrr...

[Serg]

Just called them up and what they said was if u get ur license before 21 u will have 1 year of red p's... so if u get ur license the day before ur 21st bday then ull cop the year on reds...

I guess that means that someone exactly the same age as me (21) but with no road expirience gets less restrictions then me if the get there license today... how can this work out?? load of crap really...

stupid laws really, like how you can learn to drive with a turbo car, but once you get your license, you can't drive that car anymore.

[Birds]

It works out because they have to draw the line somewhere when they are creating new laws. And you can drive any vehicle on your L plates because you are supposed to have a responsible teacher by your side who would not let you speed / drag / lose control with a powerful vehicle. Also, learner drivers are declared to be some of the safest drivers on the road (as long as they are learning at the time and not going for solo joy rides).

wow.. i did not know that..

lol so 21 year olds are MENT to be responsible straight away with a car lol?

18 year olds are meant to be responsible straight away with a car

[xALmoN]

so question, can i teach my girlfriend to drive a manual car legally?

she's on her p's, but auto only.

^^ I'm on the same boat, anyone can answer this?

The laws go weird with this case cos:

-No/Invalid Plates = FINE and points I think

-Driving manual on a auto license = FINE

So can you drive manual on p's with an instructor next to you? Would that be going against the law since when you get on p's there is no such thing as instructor, example: you cant have an instructor next to you to drive turbo's/v8's on p's....

Grrrr, guess calling up vic roads is the best way...

[Charles89]

I think they are meant to put their L's up, as they are "learning" to drive manual. And I think because they are learning, they can drive whatever they want lols

[imnotwearingpants]

Nah, you gotta leave your P's up, but print out/write on yellow paper "driver under instruction", and you're still under the same restriction as a p plater. I was in the same boat so I called up vicroads a while ago.
