Who's on? (P-Plates)

[bujna]

I got my P's in 94' by doing a driving test in an auto. Back then this only restricted you to driving an auto while you were on your p's and then you were able to drive a manual once you came off them... Yes, i know....it was the easy way out

I quite enjoy driving a manual 2002 red GTI now!

I'm keen to get a mk1 or mk2 gti as a hobby car at some stage though.

us older guys had it easy. In 1987, I had just finished my 1 year on P's ready to go onto the last 2 year of probabtionary licence(without displaying P's) and they changed the rules in Victoria...thus I went straight onto a full licence after 12months !!!

I got my licence in Canberra before they had P's. So it was L's at 16 and 9 months, then full licence when i reached 17

It's OK - I had some on the road training in Sydney for a few years, which gave me some "real" road experience.

I'm on my Greens atm, still have one year left of them. I was wedged between the 05' turbo/supercharger restrictions and the new curfew/passenger laws.

To be honest, this hasn't particularly bothered me as didn't have the money at the time of the purchase of my car to buy a turbo'd motor anyway. I think the curfew thing is a bit extreme to be honest, unless your going out to really high exposure areas I can't see most red P'ers wouldn't just take them off and wear a beanie or something and go driving. There really are very few police in certain areas after 10pm.

Since the title of the thread has changed I would like to point out that I'm not actually on my P plates.
Hate to think what my insurance would be if I was.
Oh yeah I never had to display the plates either.
