It might have been easier before but in this day and age, you EARN your points by driving and obeying the law, not disregarding it.

I'm a P-plater myself and I just got busted for speeding twice in the same night, except I got off on a warning. Was he targeting me because I have my P's? No I doubt it, he was probably targeting me because I was speeding like an idiot even if it was just two the petrol station 30 seconds from my house.
I learnt my lesson and I'm thanking my lucky stars that I didn't get an instant 3 months suspension + 7 demerits + $900 fine. I honestly think that I deserved to be suspended but I definately won't be speeding on the streets where I could endanger other people.

If you speed, you deserve what's coming to you. If you're a P-plater, quit saying it's not fair compared to full licensed drivers, they've earned the right to have 12 demerits by obeying the law (or at least not getting caught) for that long. If you want your 12 points, obey the law and drive safely, then you'll have earned it when you get your full license in the 3 odd years of P plates.
you bring up good points so i wont argue especially the part where full licensed drivers earn their points, unlike some of other dropkicks in the thread
