I'll ask the obvisous question, Whats the car you get to learn in? I really love seeing these learners that are driving around in modded V8 with there parents taking a nap in the passenger seat. Yet, they whine at P Platers cause we could kill there children. Like the parents that speed through there own childs school zone. : |

Well done.
Be confident on the road, but careful too. Indecision often leads to collision! You'll be fine! Best wishes. |

^^^^ lol
Well done mate and best of luck with the driving. I remember gettin my L's about 18 months ago. Done over 200 hours driving since lol. The best thing is you now get as much leg room as you need haha. Well that was a bonus for me in the little 02 model pulsar. Just don go driving around without someone there just not worth the risk

I've been on my L's for almost 5 months, and just a hint. NEVER display your L's behind the number plate where people can clearly see it, they will panic, overtake you at stupid speeds and generally be an bumhole towards you.

Congratulations on getting your learners, my son got his not so long ago.. It is really exciting for a parent but also really scary too :
Drive safe and remember you will continue to learn for many many many years to come

Congratulations mate!
Only advice I can give is don't let other drivers panic you with their stupid actions. I hate to admit it but I was at my angriest as an L plater, drivers who see the L plate and decide that they HAVE to get around you no matter what really gave me the s**ts. Mind you, I gave as good as I got, but I do NOT recommend that. :evil3:

Congrats mate. If I can give you some advice (lol, like everyone else on here).
Listen to and obey which ever resposible person you are driving with (parents etc), learn from their experience. Dont drive with someone who is a clown and will force you to do stupid stuff. And yeh, dont give in to peer pressure. Alright i'll shut up and let you get back to your driving, lol, enjoy! |
