New Car Learner Questions

[ler]

Ive had my learners for a few years. Is it important I get my licence before July 07 they put in these new BS changes? or will it make no difference because I will stilly be on my Ps after this date? Also how long on your Ps before u can apply for your opens?

[SmashedEL]

3 years on your p's you get your opens

if you get your licence before july then you wont get bitten by the power restrictions

[joe260]

yeah u hold ur P's for 3 yrs then clicks onto ur opens. Me im stil on my bloody P's though should of been on my opens last yr in april but had it suspended this is my 3rd time now. u should be right with the new crappy laws. they are a load of BS but hey

[AnthonyQLD]

If you get your P's before July, none of the new laws will apply to you.

[ler]

with the curfew till 5am does that affect u if u go to work? also are any 4 cylinders allowed under the new legislation?

[ler]

Like the usual level of fine and what they do with the car? Do they let you drive it home or do they drive it home for you?

[RG]

They make you walk.

[Skooter]

Judging by your user name you are planning on doing this? I would advise against doing so and also **passes flame suit to lerner** you will need this.

[ler]

no. this is hypothetical.

IVe read it is up to 1 year prison and up to $ 3000. but they say up to.

Obviously they would be in deep sh!t if they got in an accident. Lawsuits galore.

I'd be guessing you wouldn't be driving your car home then.

[Thornie]

my wife's friends boyfriend drove by himself on his L's he is now walking for while and his car is impounded in my backyard lol.

[DODDO]

Stack it and hurt someone...jailtime. I wouldn't do it. CRAZY!

[Addz08]

definitely jail time and you,ll pay for it for the rest of your life if you hurt or kill someone..

[pertuan]

I reckon if you're stupid enough to drive alone on your Ls, you should have the following done to you:

* 6 months jail OR 25k fine
* Blacklisted from owning a car for 5 years
* Unable to reapply for Ls for 5 years
* Wear Ps for 5 years when you DO pass.

Sounds harsh but hey, some people need to learn about rules and regulations.

[sprjenkins]

probably hung, drawn and quarted down here in Vic

[5L]

not to mention your parents would either be dissapointed, or like what my old man would of done to me if i got caught belted me a good one.

i only use to drive me car around the block, after doing work on it with friends. just to make sure it was all working right haha. but still i told my parents about it about a year later and they said they would of taken my keys off me if they had known.

[sprjenkins]

Its so much worse when they tell you i'm not mad just dissapointed.

[Schlimmeh]

Usual punishment is castration... followed by a labotomy

don't. do. it.

[BA_Turbs]

You haven't said what state you're in. This can make a big defference.

In Vic its a court appearence and will likely be a fine and suspension/cancellation or your learner's along with a time being suspended/disqualified from driving? That's a guess. Unless you kill or seriously injure someone, you won't go to gaol. But who wants to run that risk?

[mrnsx]

i think $500 fine for driving with no1 and probably they will send u back to school to spell learner right.

[Skooter]

Another thing, http://fordforums.com.au/showthread....3&page=5&pp=25 pay special attention to post #114

[Falcon_Phill]

Probably a good kick in the *** from your old man.

[T_Terror]

L O L.

Way to scare the poor kid

[ThoR_]

I got caught when i was 15. but the cop knew my Dad so i got a warning

[GXL078]

I used to nick my mum's taxi after the night driver had finished. I only got caught once, by her and that was after I had passed my Ps test, but still waiting to turn 17 to be officially "licensed"

[XCSEDAN]

I had an accident while no licensed drivers were in the car.
i got off VERY (cop punishment wise) lightly. i am in victoria though. and i was 17 at the time.
don't even take the risk, you are no-where near experienced enough.
and if you've already done it and got caught, well expect anything from an official caution to a massive fine and a court apperance.
