yeah , now I whipped cream see posers walking around with boards that have obviously not been used everywhere <| sep |> Lawyer up . If Jack is underage , his parents could wind up being forced to pay you $$$ for slander . Might cover a good chunk of your transition costs . <| sep |> The idea that more experienced drivers are allowed more leeway for breaking the law is absurd . Why is that ? Should P platers be allowed the same alcohol limit as full license drivers ? Does the fact I don ' t get to drink now make me more likely to drink within limits and drive on my fulls ? What about speed and passenger limits restrictions currently ? The vast majority of new P Platers I ' ve met haven ' t seemed any more irresponsible than full licence drivers besides utes , something about utes seems to make more holliganidiotic driving . But it ' s undeniable that P platers are far less experienced and far more likely to be involved in an accident in their first 12 months of driving solo . That ' s backed by statistics . Anecdotal evidence but I also think young people have a bigger problem with phones and driving and are more likely to be affected by distractions . There ' s no law against music either but I ' m thankful my parents enforced a strict no music rule when I was a learner driver . I don ' t think the changes are perfect nor are the current laws . But overall I ' m in favour of the current and upcoming restrictions even if they seem a little overboard as I hope will bring in more good habits for future full licence drivers and eliminate as many distractions as possible for P platers .
