[Samm928]

YAY! might aswell dude. fight for it if oyu know your right. but if you know you did the wrong. just cop it. thats all you can do.

no not really but its funny how many more full licence drivers lose their licences then P platers but media and ignorant fools on this forum always blow up the fact that p platers lose their licence so much too..

Im guessing you're the p-plater too?

perhaps if P-platers drove a little bit more cautiously - because after all they lack the experience of a full-licenced driver - and didn't get caught for doing stupid shit like speeding and street racing - perhaps the media and ignorant fools as you said would then look at everyone equally. Also the ratio of full licenced drivers to every p-plater is much greater... unfortunatelly like in most situations - minority looses.

yes iam a p plater.. do you take into consideration that p platers can lose their license MUCH easier than full licensed drivers? if we are caught doing 2km/h or 20km/h over the limit we lose our license for 3months.. have you considered that we only have a quarter of the points that full licensed drivers have? also have you considered that we can lose our license for petty things like having more than 1 passenger after 11pm.. if u take all that into consideration then it might hit you, that there might be "other" reasons behind so many p platers losing their license.

if you get called for a court appearance don't represent yourself..get a lawyer(legal aid,solicitor etc.) don't ever go to court representing yourself..i had to learn the hard way...

well then - pays to respect the rules doesn't it?

learn to drive below the limit or on it - not over it! guess what... 60km/h limit is 'the LIMIT' - not 62km/h, not 65km/h. Sure people drive at 65-69 but they also cop tickets.

learn to respect your demerit points - they don't last long if you speed.

make it a rule that you don't drive after 11pm - then you don't have a problem with taking passengers - and the only person driving with you after 11pm should be a fully licensed driver anyway by the sounds of it.

sure those sound like harsh measures but if thats what it takes to teach learners the rules than thats what it should be. You're a new driver, no experience and you expect to get the same benefits as people who have done the time and gained the experience.?? as if!

lol i dont think you understand my point - you cant say p platers lose their license more than full licensees because it is much easier for us to lose it.. therefore.. its not an even playing field.. comprende amigo?

What I think sinistr is saying is that you (P platers) need to learn when you're new rather than when you're older.

How is it any easier to lose you license? Obey the rules and do what you need to do to get your fulls!

Taking bad "P" platers off the road now saves the authorities alot of time later on to re-train drivers with bad habit.

Easy for someone to say, hey if you think you can get off take it to local/district court. Not everyone can afford $300 p/hr for a solicitor and $3000 a day for a barrister!

Rules are put in place for a reason and unfortunately for P plater always think its a conspiracy against them and not the fact that its their peers who do stupid things like losing 22 demerit points?? WTF??

live with it - don't speed, dont street race - you'll be surprised how quickly the time flies and you'll get your 12 points - the question to you is: will you start speeding or racing when you get your 12 points.... i think thats what they are trying to teach you here.
