these laws are screwed’ i got a $405 fine for an extra passanger after 11 and it was because my car ran out of fuel, stupid i know-but i am being punished because of stupidity rather than delibrately braking the rules-plus the fine is alot to pay considering i was driving safely and everything

This is the other thing. It is undemocratic to target specfic groups like this. I dont care if we do kill more people- its not because we’re bad and deserve harassment- its because we’re new to driving.
yes, statistically, p- platers are involved in a disproportionate number of crashes.

so are men.

if we ban men from driving, im sure the crash rate will go down! but here’s the hitch- its discriminatory, and it’s unfair. it’s also downright stupid.

I hate Australian Licence laws full stop, everywhere else on the globe have much better laws than we do.

steane was right on. teach the young ones how to handle the car. i did an advanced driver training course with the cops many years ago and found the lessons learned very valuable in staying out of trouble. i left the cops as they didn’t pay enough to spend on the ute !!

also the single passenger after 11 i believe is just going to result in more drink driving. As if friends want to go out they have to desegnate 1 driver for every 2 people that cant be drinking unless they get a taxi but not everyone lies to do that.

And i really dont think people will do this so it will just result in more drink driving or more than 1 passenger.

Yep… just another bandade solution, abit like the restrictions on powerful vehicles, hasnt had any effect, maybe even worsened the situation as they were some of the more safer vehicles around to drive. But yeah, as long as it doest cost them a cent its ok… when something like a driver training course which would cost them isnt implemented, at the detrament to young drivers

It’s not suprising that in typical Australian Govt style their new rules don’t involve them outlaying much of their own cash, just setting things up so that they have an excuse to squeeze a bit more out of P platers.

P platers need to be taught how to handle and control a car in emergency situations and develop a respect for speed and what can go wrong. At the moment they are experimenting with this on the road, they have no choice really.

This is just wasted breathe, we are governed by accountants and their spin doctors. P platers will continue to die and their deaths will continue to be used as a reason to buy more speed cameras and work out new ways to fine motorists.

If their passengers can’t use their mobile speaker phone then does that mean that they can’t talk to each other either? It’s kind of the same thing isn’t it. So you couldn’t say something like, “Watch out for the bus!!!!!”…smash.
