P Plates??

[BlueDog]

I heard there is a new rule thats come in saying that Queensland drivers on their p's now have to use "P Plates" while driving? Is this true? :bs!:

[Charly]

yep. Ahahahahahahahahaha. Suffer.

Actually I think this is a good idea. As an easily irritable motorist I'm far less likely to get angry with a P plater if I know they're a P plater.

I give P platers more room and am generally more considerate of them because I know how useless I was when I first got behid the wheel of a car.

[Squizz]

They look shithouse but they should, for the most part, let other drivers know to give you a break. Good idea.

Yes but as your 19 im guessing turning 20 and getting your opens this year then this is not an issue for you as the introduction of thë P plates im pretty positive that it wont be till next year.

[Keegs]

yea dont think it will be for a bit, took them a while just to bring in the "l" plate thing.

[Anquetil]

Bah live with it!

[Charly]

God I'm dumb. I thought he meant L plates. Oh well.

well QLD is one of the only states NOT to have had them.. and most states has had them for a decade or more.

I found it very odd that QLD didn't have them when i moved up.

Anybody on P's who has an import is really screwed now though.. they have something to clearly look out for and pick on. They do it in the other states, so it will happen here. Saves them trouble.

there's not the P-plate system here??

they are an awesome idea... also referred to as "perve" plates as you know that when you check out the female driver she is guaranteed to be 21 or younger

the best looking solution

this is if you realy dont want to put them on

you know you want to.

I heard it was as of 1st July or something like that. Definately coming into effect but not exactly sure when. They were also thinking of having cerfew and passenger restrictions for P platers also. Also not sure if they will be going ahead.

im pretty sure the passenger restrictions and or cerfew (if ever allowed), will be trialed in somewhere such as NSW before they are implemented Australia wide.

We have to use "p" plates in the uk, but its not enforced by law so no one bothers tbh, i think its a bad idea because basicly if they are a crap driver they should have passed there test, end of.

just my 2p

[The_Paladin]

nah i havent seen many people with p's here..........maybe it's different in Scotland. if it's in England then i'm sure the SNP would have opposed it........

i think it's a good idea in QLD. i got my p's about 3 days before i went over seas, i can legally drive in oz (and uk too, but i cant find someone who owns an auto) but the gap between me getting my licence and actually driving on my own is over 1 year. i would like p's cause i'd hope other drivers would give me that extra leeway or room for error.........fat chance most likely i got SFA on my L's.......

I got about 5 months to go, thats y im not out and about much nemore, reasonably defectable car that stands out, i dont need attention atm. Have had a few close calls to but have been lucky so far.
