hey people. I think some good points have been raised here. I am on my Red P's and I have lost my licence for 3 months for crossing double white lines on a public holdiday. I wasn't speeding or doing anything stupid it was just a lapse in concentration. I turned from a service station and crossed the double white lines. Cops saw me and booked me on neg. driving. I did not speed, did not smoke the tyres, It was nothing life threatening or dangerous to anyone even myself. They gave me a $200 fine and 3 months suspension. They told me it was dangerous!!!! How the hell is it????
I think this is a damn harsh lesson to be learnt!! I rarely ever exceed the speed limit on normal roads and i try to be a safe driver. The ones who ruin it for the rest of us and why i got booked so harshly is the ones who take their parents commodores or falcons out at night with only a few hours of experience in the car. They try and test their limits before they even know the car or what it is capable of. Something unexpected happens and they don't know what to do. Slam on the brakes or try and swurve and its all over. I think certain restrictions should be imposed on weight to power ratio's. But a curfue is rediculous. I sometimes work till 1 in the morning. How the hell am i meant to get home if i can't drive???
I can partly understand a limit on number of passengers(to an extent) but like you have said what if you are the designated driver. Your gonna have to take a sh## load of trips just to get people home.
I think the gov't has to have a sit down and definately reconsider these rules. Yes it may cut down p plater accident, but it may not. It may increase the amount of drunk drivers because they couldn't get a lift home so they decided to drive. Or a sh## load of fines are gonna be given out and noone is gonna pay them!!!
Thats my two sense,
Thanks for your time.
Michael
