I still remember when schools had cork boards.

Moving on, gotta love still having to do 120 hours when it was reduced to 100

Gotta love getting learners before that came in and being on Ps for 2 years.

Back in my day.

[QUOTE=Lonestriper;28125551]Moving on, gotta love still having to do 120 hours when it was reduced to 100[/QUOTE] Actually I believe its being moved down to 80. I can't believe the people that are doing the current 120 hours can't do the same thing, its just fucking bullshit.

Fuck the government. [editline]18th February 2011[/editline] No wait, the RTA

[QUOTE=-n3o-;28125585]Actually I believe its being moved down to 80. I can't believe the people that are doing the current 120 hours can't do the same thing, its just fucking bullshit.[/QUOTE] In NSW, its 100. Its so annoying, I'm 40 into my 120, but I still have to do an extra 20.

[QUOTE=killerteacup;28125715]In NSW, its 100. Its so annoying, I'm 40 into my 120, but I still have to do an extra 20.[/QUOTE] I had to do 120. I think I did about 14 and forged the rest the night before my P's test. It was easy :3:

Its so annoying, I'm 40 into my 120, but I still have to do an extra 20.[/QUOTE] If it's L Plates we're talking about, I was part of the last batch of people in NSW to only had to do 50 hours (2006). I got my full license a few weeks ago, feels fuckin brilliant

[QUOTE=Mizzy;28125737] I think I did about 14 and forged the rest the night before my P's test. It was easy :3:[/QUOTE] hope you're not driving on roads near me then.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;28125779]hope you're not driving on roads near me then.[/QUOTE] I passed so the RTA thinks I'm good enough for the road. My brother failed four times though :3:

RTA is stupid. When I was getting my license, I specifically ticked glasses under the vision thing, and the need to wear them when driving. I didn't get eye tested, and the guy didn't put the S (spectacle) condition on my license. Their loss my gain I guess.

The problem about the RTA is that the bring out so many stupid rules that are causing people to fail there P's, which cost so much to do.

I failed the first time because I passed too close to some cars, passed easily the second time even though I stalled on the parallel park. My sister failed her first one because the instructor told her to go down a road that was emergency vehicles only. If she did it, she would fail for disobeying road rules, if she didn't, she failed because she disobeyed the instructor. Not like it made a difference though because she failed 2 more times and then ran a red light crashing into a new car and wiping off her own one less than a week after passing.

[QUOTE=Simski;28125033]Yo Australia, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Norway has one of the best landscapes of all time![/QUOTE] Sure, but it's awfully boring after 18 years.

I did 130 hours by the end. In a driving lesson my instructor told me to go down a one way road for a little bit because she wanted to go to the vic roads

[QUOTE=BoosLee;28126357]What the fuck kind of instruction is going down a road that's emergency vehicles only, get that instructor fired.[/QUOTE] Yeah, she was from out of town and a really horrible instructor. They kept passing her back and forth because she never passed anyone and just pissed everyone off. Probably been fired by now.

[QUOTE=Mizzy;28125804]I passed so the RTA thinks I'm good enough for the road. My brother failed four times though :3:[/QUOTE] Passing the test does not make you good enough for the road, forging that log book means you've lost necessary experience as a learner, thank christ I dont live in NSW.

Getting hours doesn't mean anything if you still suck at driving. With the 120 hours you have a better chance but it is not a determining factor on being good.

Camp er Joe is REALLY not being a bro tonight.

[img]http://www.learnertick.com.au/images/vicroads_crash_data_500.jpg[/img] See this graph? the majority of people here would have completed 100+ or about 1-2 years worth of learner experience, but the accident rate is still high, now imagine someone like Mizzy, with 14 hours, with her P plates, regardless if she considers herself a good driver, 14 hours is hardly any experience.

camp er notabro.
