st184 sillycar Forums Junkie Location: Melbourne Registered: June 2004	Re: Probationary Lisence Fri, 16 July 2004 00:13 When I did my P's driving test, I blitzed it in 11 minutes. The tester said that while I didn't BREAK a single rule, or lose more than 1 or 2 points anywhere, I was BENDING what was acceptable for speed most of the time, as the test normally takes 30 MINUTES!! I said that I was just a bit nervous, and rushed things more than I would have liked (which was/is true) and genuinely thought I should have lost marks in a few places for rocketing up to intersections etc... (I had to brake quite hard at a roundabout to give way to a car I should have seens earlier) Nup - the tester said "all quite good" -He even complimented me on my gearshifting prowess! So Off I went into the world, all confidence and machismo, with barely a shred of forethought or judgement to help keep me out of trouble. Luckily I never hit anything, but I can assure you all, that even in a 2Litre N/A DIESEL Crown (ex-malaysian taxi, rare!) I had enough close calls and scary moments to make a few people wary of getting into the car with me for a few months there, until I calmed down a bit and began to behave with a modicum of common sense. There you go then - a GUTLESS shytbox with a top-speed of 115km/h (less into a headwind) is plenty fast enough to get P-platers into trouble. Don't even bother with the arguement against fast/powerful cars until there's a basic workable standard of skill, judgement and respect for the road, in young drivers.
